The names which appear in the above principal categories of supporters to date, for the third financial year of our Campaign comforts Fund, are likely to receive important additions in the course of the next fortnight. We have had informal advices to that effect, but formal intimations are to follow Board _meetings. The list must not, therefore, be regarded as a complete one, although its representative character is already evident. We hope that the good example, set during the first two years of the Fund by different foremen and others in various parts of the country, in the matter of arranging works collections each week, will see a considerable expansion during the third year of the Fund. A newcomer under this head is Mr. S. V. Dunn, of the garage of Nestle's Anglo-Swiss Milk Co:, Ltd. at South Wharf, St. Leonard's Street, Bromley-by-Bow. Mr. Dunn was formerly in the M.T., .A.S.C., and is therefore no doubt imbued by .a. sense of fellow-feeling.
