I would suggest to any members who have not been to one of these outings that they come along and sample the pleasure of giving joy to the children. Also I would like to make an appeal to any who can do so to save or beg and donate any butter coupons they can, as the butter situation is rather hard. Also any old bathing costumes would be welcome and appreciated by both the helpers and the children. | I would suggest to any members who have not been to one of these outings that they come along and sample the pleasure of giving joy to the children.

Walkers are generally regarded as unpopular on holiday weekends and all are asked to refrain from asking favours which throw additional work upon an already hardworking and probably short-staffed organisation. | **QUEEN VICTORIA HOMES**.
