The Miss S. E. Taylor Fund.

An appeal has been made by the Women's Institute for funds to enable Miss E. E. Taylor to visit America for the purpose of receiving special medical treatment. It iB estimated that JBISO will be required for Miss Taylor's necessary expenses, and as this sum would probably be the means of prolonging the life of ft lady who has freely given her services for the benefit of others, it is hoped that it will be readily provided by the people of Canterbury. Subscriptions amounting to £70 9a have bejßn received. Further subscriptions will be received by Miss Hookham (the President of the Women's Institute), and Mi_s Taylor, and acknowledged in thiß column.
