 A small yearly income from our Fresh Air Fund, needs, as usual, some enlargement if we are to perform our yearly services for the neediest of those sick and inf1rm ones who will not be likely to get them otherwise. Two contributions have already been received. We can wisely spend on this beautiful charity from $40 to $50 besides the income from the fund. Eight dollars of that forty are in hand now. If our friends will send their contributions early in July. we can make better plans for the season.
 Meanwhile, and all the while, dona- tions are needed of clothing and household goods and books and maga- zines and sundries. Especial needs at present are for children's clothing and a second hand cook stove that can be used.
