The Co-operation of the Voluntary Aid Association in investigat- ing cases where railway fares were required and in advancing these fares is greatly appreciated. The Mayoress’ Needlework Guild again provided garments for necessitous children being sent to Convalescent Homes, thus being of great assistance to the Committee. The Feoffees gave a grant of £25 and provided 34 tickets for the Rhyl, 19 for the Southport and 3 for the Bournemouth Convalescent Homes. The Committee acknowledge with gratitude this generous help and their constant support in the work. Phyllis M. Evershed, Edith E. Oakden, Hon. Sec. Chairman. 2S
