In connection with the announce
ment OF the annual Fete, it is well to
recount something of the work ac-
complished by this group Of gener-
Gus, public spirited women through
whose efforts the Nursery was estab-
lshed
It will be remembered that the
building was formerly that used for
the War Savings Bank. When 1t
was no longer needed for the purpose
for which it had been constructed, the
building was secured by these wo-
men and transformed into day
home for numerous little tots whose
mothers are compelled to work away
from home.
That was just little more than
year ago. AT a recent meeting OF
the executive committee. the reports
showed that there has been an aver
age Of eleven children cared for every
day in the year.
There are many things planned for
by the members of the committee.
They hope to enlarge the building,
&c add q kindergarten. and to CON.
tinually improve conditions. In or.
der In accomplish this, and TO es
tablish permanent maintenance
fund a board of directors has been
appointed, each member to contribute
the sum of $40 annually.
While the members of the executive
committee will be included in the
membership of the directors board,
the board will not do away with the
committee, nor its duties. and in
