The Exeter Lions Club have launched their first drive for funds to carry on their
work of Children’s Benefit particularly sight-saving. Since the inauguration of the
club a little over six months ago several children have been fitted with eye-glasses
and there are several cases pending. Through the influence of the Lions Club in their
work with crippled children and the many activities in the interests of children the
money spent through this organization goes from two and a half to five times as far
as the money spent individually. To carry on the work the local Lions Club have
inaugurated their first drive for the raising of money.
