HOME FOR OLD PEOPLE
Building Still Needed For Orphanage
Because all the accommodation was needed for children, the projected o|>euing of an old iieople’s home at Island Buy hud been delayed, said Mr. G. B. Stephenson, superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphanage and Social Service Association, on Saturday. If was intended when the new home on the Presbyterian orphanage property’ at. Berhainpore was opened in November of last year that: the girls should be transferred from the Island Bay home to Berhainpore, said Mr. Stephenson. Although this had been done, the number of children had increased to such an extent that the two buildings at Berhainpore and the one at Island Bay were needed. The solution wits the erection of another home at Berhanipore to release the building at Island Bay for the purpose intended. As the cost of a new bitilding and furnishing would be about £6OO. the association would have to depend on private generosity and testamentary disposition to allow these plans to be put into effect.
