Sm,ial Welfare Lear,e

Social Welfare League
 The following statement was is- sued this morning by Miss Granniss of the Social Welfare league.
 The donation made by Miss Gran- miss to the Nursing association was not her personal gift; she simply shared a donation which had been made to the Social Welfare league. and this seeming generosity was be- cause the league did not have the clothing for which the association had asked.
 Att that time the association ad- mitted it had only the Thanksgiving offering of SIPS. Presumably the donations of Sl00 from the Strong fund. $25 from the Red Cross and $ from a board member were sub seQuent donations. as it was stated at that time that the Thanksgiving offering and the gift from the So- cial Welfare league created the emergency fund.
 The association is to be congratu- lated. for 1t now has a relief fund which far exceeds the amount which the Social Welfare league has handled in all the twelve years of its service.
 Fire Department Gets Car
 An old model of an expensive car has been presented to the fire de- partment by Frank T. Wheeler of Pennington avenue. While the of fer has been accepted. disposition of the car has not yet been made. The chassis may be used for truck to replace the old Pope. while a third truck may be made and be housed elsewhere than in the town hall. There has been some talk of late about the need of a fire station in the east end.
