AMBULANCE DAY.

AN APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE. Once every year fair ladies invade the city in large numbers and make a levy upon the general publio for financial support of the St John Ambulance Association. To-day is the day set down for the collection and very complete arrangements have been made to ensure its success. Ou the results of the day’s takings hang the activities of the Association, if not entirely, certainly to a great extent. It is urged that the movement is a humanitarian one and that the members of the Association, for no remuneration, and at a minimum of cost, give valued assistance to many injured people during the year. Indeed, a great Jeal of work in the transference of invalids and so on is done by tho Association free of cost, and the value of this work it would be difficult to over-estimate No one, < the Association says, can afford to disregard the collectors, for before another year has spun by he or she may havo found it necessary to invoke the aid of the Association, possibly for themselves or for those they hold dear. From an early hour until 9 p.m. citizens will run tho gauntlet, and few there will be who will escape the willing workers in a good cause.
