NEWS AND NOTES

To refurnish the new club rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association a novel suggestion has been made. In view of the large number of people who are building new homes, refurnishing, spring cleaning, etc., it has been suggested that any discarded furniture, curtainings, etc., or crockery be donated to the Y.M.C.A. By realising on these things an easy way out would be found to meet the difficulty of raising funds to furnish the club rooms. Donors wishing to assist kindly ring the General Secretary, Cannon Street, telephone 1358, and any gifts of such a nature will be called for The Scottish Society’s popular weekly dance will be held to-night in the Scottish Hall at 8 o’clock.
