THE W.C.T.U. CRECHE AT THE DNEDIN EXHIBITION.

To tlio Editor of the White Ribbon, Dear Madam. The receipt by me this day of the sum of £2lB 15s. 9d. for the Orgaaizing Fund, l*dng the net of the Creche conducted by the Dunedin I nions at the Exhibition, deserves more than a formal acknowledgment to the Union principally concerned. It is a splendid object lesson and tangible evidence of the work that can be accomplished by our women for women and children. Apart from the advertisement that it has given to the work of our Union, it has been a boon to many weary mothers, and a source of many hours of restful happiness to the little ones w r ho were so tenderly cared for. All

this w'as rendered possible through the unswerving loyalty and voluntary seriv'e of many of the members of the local Unions, whose devotion failed not, in sacrifice of time and effort to Lake the undertaking a success. Special mention may be well given to Mrs Macartney and Miss Webb, whose efforts were ably seconded by many others. I believe they will feel that the work itself was its own reward, but none the less our Union owes to all cf them a deep debt of gratitude tor the splendid work of which the amount hereby acknowledged ie one result. The other will, we teel sure, be an abiding memory of happiness, and a deeper sympathy with our work, on the part of many who have been helped. E. L. R. BENDELY, Auckland, N.Z.
