EXETER COMMUNITY
STEAM L4.TJNDRX
The members of the provisional
board of directors are: Mrs. (Dr.)
Mary McDonnell, Hensall; Mrs. J.
Elder, Hensali; Mrs. Arthur Francis,
Exeter; Mrs, W. N. Glenn, Hensall,
Convener. The date of the sharehol-
ders meeting will be auuouneed soon
and it is hoped. that not only all Mel
shareholders but all those intending
to become Shareholders will be pres-°
ent. The population of Exeter alone,.
is not sufficient to induce any one in-
dividual to invest the several thou-
sands needed to establish: a modern
steam laundry. The proprietor of
the Exeter Creamery has given his
permission far the erection of the
necessary building at the end of his
creamery and also will furnish the
steam from the pasteurizing plant
for a reasonable charge so that the
two or three thousand dollars nec-
essary for the purchase of the steam
generating machinery can be done
without. The great; shortage of help
in all homes, particularly the farm
homes, 'is daily getting worse,/ The
self sacrificing wives and mothers
ivho never have nor never will
"strike" for themselves are the
greatest sufferers. The public is
earnestly requested to assist in the
organization of this laundry. So far
there has been no great difiieulty in
selling shares. The trouble has been
and is in the difficulty of finding
people willing and able to undertake
this part of the work,
