I Mr Logic* submitted drafts of two circu- | lars to be sent out. One was to head ; masters, teachers, etc., in connection with j the appeal to school children for Id each, j and the other was to ladies for their help in collecting. The circulars would- be to j some extent educative.—The circulars were approved.—lt was decided to call a meet- . ing of all helners in the Town Hall for Monday evening. November 7. It was decided that Mr M'George, with : the necessary assista-ice, should control the ' collection from business .firms. ! Mr Logie raised the question of sending lists through, factories and other businesses, j to which employees should be asked to contribute. He thought some definite policy should be decided upon, as some men felt that this was not fair, as the*=e people were again appealed to._on the j streets. The discussion was taken in com- ■ mittee, and it was decided that the policy ' of the past should be adhered to —that is, lists will be sent to factories as before.
