The Limbless Fund

Mrs. Archibald Sinclair, who with her husband recently returned from a three-months holiday in Australia, has again got busy upon the charity for which she has worked with marked Success for a number of years—the Limbless Soldiers' and Sailors' Fund, with patients still in Scottish and English hospitals. In aid of this the committee of the Limbless Fund will hold a rummage sale in the Union Church Hall on October 13. Rummage sales here serve a double purpose; they assist the funds for which they are organized but they help also the many poor who wish to be clear of charity yet who are bound to get their clothing and other necessary articles in the cheapest possible way.

Any persons having gifts of clothing or other useful matter to dispose of are asked to send them to the Union Church Hall at any time between now and the date, and to mark them "Limbless." The Committee ladies are: Mmes. O. G. R. Beynon, J. Brooks, K. Harrop, W, S. Train, Rankin, A. Sharp and A, Sinclair.
