Families in Distress
(To the Editor.) Sir, —May I tresspass on your space to make an urgent appeal in connection with the unfortunate lire in Main street on Tuesday evening, whereby two families lost everything. I want to appeal to our citizens for assistance on behalf of these two families. There are live young children in one family whose ages range from a baby of four months to a girl six years old. The other family comprises throe children, two boys 15 and 12, and a girl of eight years. Donations of furniture, clothing or cash will be -most gratefully accepted. Both families lost everything and had no insurance whatsoever. Thoy now have only the clothes they were wearing at the time of tho lire. 1 feel confident I can rely on the generous support of our citizens to this most worthy appeal. Donations of furniture or clothing can be left at the City Council Chambers, or a telephone communication to No. 7550 will ensure the goods beiug called for. Cash donations can be left at either of oui newspaper offices. —I am, ote., A. E. MANBFOKD (Mayor). FIRE DISTRESS FUND. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Hansford £2 2s Od
