Mr. Mac- Naughton said since purchasing the Inn, to operate as a bed and break­ fast, several years ago they have actually lost some business due to the fact that diners or guests could­ n't get a drink.

After the donations are received clients are given a confidential appointment with the Bureau in their area, where they are assisted in selecting toys, items of clothing and mittens for children. They are also given canned goods and finan­ cial help for Christmas dinner if required. This year the Bureau will be accepting item donations during the week of December 9 to 13.
