H.B. CHILDREN’S HOME

Funds Urgently Required ANNUAL APPEAL The annual appeal for the Hawke’s Bay Children’s Home wil be held on Saturday, March 17, and residents of the Hawke’s Bay province are asked to respond to the appeal as generously as their circumstances permit. For 41 years the homes have been earing for orphaned, neglected and dcstute children of this province, and the trustees have been accorded the utmost financial and sympathetic support during the whole of that period. Just, as tho adverse economic conditions have affected the individual, so have they affected the income of the Children’s Home. The position has now arisen that without substantial support there will be no funds with which to purchase the necessaries of life. This state of affairs the trustees are assured will not be allowed to continue, and the residents of Hawke’s Bay will see to it that funds are available wherewith to provide the necessaries of life. Collections will be made in every town in Hawke’s Bay on Saturday, March 17, but the collectors will not be able to reach all the residents of the province, and it is asked that those on whom collectors cannot call will forward their donation by post. Cheques should be made payable to the Hawke’s Bay Children’s Home and forwarded to Mr H. E. Edgley, treasurer, Church Lane (P.O. Box 145), Napier.
