years ago the local 7 n c. a. has
done a great deal Of work among
soldiers and only occasionally has u
received financial help from outside

The Service Appreciated.
This service has been greatly ap-
preciated by the men. who durina the
year have written s125 letters on the
writing table OF the association. More
than $4,000 sailors and soldiers have
used the PRIVILEGES Of the central
