It was as if the spirit oi the band had spread to the willing helpers, said Mrs. Burdekin. _ For over a week before the day itself, groups of ladies had gathered in aach others homes, transforming them into hives of industry, maxing garments and getting other saleable goods ready for the stall. Other members of the committee have been, active obtaining donations large and small, all helping to swell the funds.
