Plans for Street Fair
AdIlN AOf the otFttA T Ntlt Nul-
minating event of the Nurses Home
Drive. which will take place in Pom
fret street, Putnam, and Cargill Park.
are going forward steadily under
the direction of Mrs. Andrew Y.
Frost of Putnam and her very able
committee. There will be band
concert on both evenings that the fair
IS IN progress and the booths and
various attractions offered are ex.
eeptionally varied and interesting.
Dance In Thompson
Under the direction of Mrs. Louis
Marshall Ream Of Thompson a dance
for the benefit of the fund will be
held there on the evening of Satuf-
day, September l. the Saturday pre-
eeding Labor day. II is expected
that there will be an unusually large
attendance at this pre-holiday social
event. Mrs. Ream has engaged a
Boston orchestra 30 furnish music for
the evening.
Will Begin Solicitations
Up until the present time there has
been little or no solicitation Of funds
for the drive. The major portion Of
the total amount raised has been
through voluntary gifts and the or
zanization Of various entertainments
and social events. Those in charge
Of the fund however, are particularly
anxious that the total amount Of
/ $40 900 should be raised by the date
appointed for the end of the drive,
which is September 6.
The chairmen of the various com
mittees in the five towns interested in
the fund will make a direct solicita-
ton for assistance during the re-
manning days of August. Il is sim
eerely hoped that the response TO this
appeal will be general and generous.
No fund in the history Of Windham
County has been raised with SO much
widespread interest and enthusiasm
as has this effort for the Nurses Home
and those in charge feel that il must
not fall short of the total amount
needed.
Checks and money orders for the
fund should be made out TO J. j..
