AN APPRECIATED GIFT
There is greater pleasure, in .giving than receiving when such appreciation as'is expressed in a- letter, to the Mayor by three old people of Blenheim- is voiced. The., writer, on behalf of herself and other old people, tlieir ages being 72, 76, and SO,. inquires for th.c name .of the donor of "a parcel'of"black'flannel sent across from Wellington at the time of the Blenheim floods, that their personal thanks may be tendered. Apparently inquiries made locally did not ■bring to light the name of the donor, and the writer, therefore,. decided to communicate with the Mayor,- but manyparcels were , sent across jjhi'o.iigh.'.the Eed Cross Society, most;ofrthehijanonymously, and at best the "thanks of.those three old people to the donor in partidu-: lar and to Wellington peoole iiKgeneral can only bo passed on in a general Snanner.
