An Appreciation.

The rest room management wish to
thank the public and all who aided in
making red tag day so successful. To
the committees, who so efficiently organ
lied the work selected the right solicitors
for the various streets and attended to
many details, much praise is due. Espe-
cial mention is made of Mrs. \. J. Currier.
who represented the w. c. T. T.; Mrs.
Clarke Fits, who represented the Wo-
mans Exchange; Mrs. Montgomery. the
Woman's Auxiliary; and Mrs. Cora
Leonard who had charge of printing tags
and posters and placing the latter.
Scarcely a refusal was met from those
who acted as solicitors and with uniform
politeness and cheerfulness they carried
the work on through the heat of the day.
That an enterprise started few years
ago by five women with many misgivings
and small resources. but the vision of it's
needs, has grown into a real community
possession is evidenced by the increasing
response from year to year to the call for
air. This year exceeding by 5000 the re-
ceipt of any previous tag day, the commit
tee in charge of the rest room hope to go
through the year without a deficit.
For the generous gifts, small and large,
and the financial return of last Saturday
we say thank you
