WELFARE APPEAL.
RECEIPTS TOTAL £101,916.
The joint committee of the Y.M.CA. and the Salvation Army set up to carry out the Fighting Services Welfare Appeal, met yesterday when the chairroan, Sir James Grose, reported that the receipts had amounted to £101,016. There was in addition a sum of £3000 yet to come in. Expenses had amounted to only £3763, or 3.5 per cent of the receipts, which leave a net balance in the fund of probably £101,000.
Sir James Grose, in expressing his deep satisfaction at the splendid result accuring from the effort, referred to the fine spirit of co-operation which had existed throughout. Colonel Burton, on behalf of thj Salvation Army, heartily supported this statement.
It as finally resolved "That as the business for which the committee had been set up had been brought to a conclusion, it was decided to disband, and advise the National Patriotic Fund Board, that the committee would again be pleased to act should the necessity arise."
