CITIZENS’ DAY NURSERY
Meeting of Helpers Held The usual faithful band of ladies attended the last meeting of the Citizens’ Day Nursery under the able leadership of Mrs. Reid. Satisfaction was expressed at the success of the bridge party held iu Kirkcaldie’s rooms in July. Unfortunately Mrs. Reid was not well enough to attend, but Lady Luke and Mrs. Firth, with the help of other members, managed to make the whole affair most enjoyable, besides providing the society with a nest-egg for further efforts. The society needs money on account of some parents being unable to pay even the small daily fee. Nearly 100 attendances were made during July, which means that about 20 children make use of the nursery daily. Working mothers never needed the institution more than they do now, and gifts in cash or kind are highly appreciated. Visitors are welcome. The following gifts are gratefully acknowledged: New Zealand Trawling Co., fish; Boston Cake Shop, cakes; Mrs. Mills, case of apples; Miss Anyon, postcards; Mr. Rod, bones; Mrs. Reid, potatoes, etc.; Miss Booth, singlets; Mrs. Zander, cotton reels.
