In addition they have sent 1101 b of food and many parcels of soap to a children’s home, and once a month they hhve sent a 221 b food parcel to the Dundee Old People’s Home. Other gifts sent overseas included clothing for V.A.D.’s and for children, and a parcel containing 12 dozen handkerchiefs. The luncheon meetings, the report says, were successful. A course of lectures under the Family Life Council was popular and four interesting lectures were given on world affairs.
