PATRIOTIC EFFORT BY NUMBER OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. (“Times-Age” Special.) The children of the fourth and fifth standards held a sale in Clifford Square yesterday afternoon. The sale was ably organised by Miss Mahoocl. with Miss Muriel Saunders as an energetic secretary. There were various articles, such as bags of cones, wood, vegetables, cakes, sweets and flowers, for sale and altogether the sum of £8 5s 3d was realised and was handed to Miss Card as chairwoman for the subbranch of the Lady Galway Patriotic Guild.
