Most of the children had tea with their hosts before returning to the orphanage early in the evening. About 25 cars were used to take the rihildiren, wiho were included with family groups. Organised by Mr J. Pearce, this was one of the many pro. jerts that had been undertaken by the chapter. In another project 300 bags of wood were delivered one Saturday to deserving cases in the town. The chapter has received a number of letters of appreciation for this work, which was organised by Mr D. Riley.
