POPPY DAY
THE GORE APPEAL. A GENEROUS RESPONSE. The Poppy Day appeal at Gore on Saturday met with a very generous response, and those responsible for the sale of poppies found no difficulty in disposing of all they had on hand. The Boy Scouts also assisted by making a house to house canvass and they, too, disposed of all they had.
