We can only refer briefly to the concert at the R.A.C. Amongst those present were General and Mrs. Long, and Mr, Henry Fowler of the Ministry of Munitions. A material and satisfactory addition to the Fund will result from this fourth concert in the series. We are grateful to the R.A.C. Committee for kindly !Jutting the Great Gallery at our disposal.
The cash donations of last week include two principal sums100 from Gaston, Williams and Wigmore, Ltd., of Kingsway, W.C. and It, promise of .250 from G. Spencer Moulton and Co.. Ltd., of Bradfordon-Avon and London. These gifts are classed as the categories above show.
We are hopeful that not a few of our supporters may be willing to help to swell the Fund's growing total before Xmas. Some will be able to do this by taking the Christmas (collecting) cards, either of the depot or pocket sizes ; others may find it easier and quicker to send a cheque or postal order.
