WHY
The Lions Milk Fundi'
'first, because there are in Sca'torth
74 children, who, through no fault of
their own wonld be deprived of this
very necessary part of a child's daily
diet. As ut example of the need, the
committee visited a h<iinc which was
able to procure only two quarts of
milk per weds for the entire family of
three persons. l'his meant only slight-
ly r over half pint 'af milk per day (or
'three persons, two adults and one
ehiltl. The Child now receives a pint
of Milk per day from the Milk 'bund.
at is only one of the 74 who- thus re-
ceive such 'benefit from this fund.
The Lions organised this ?l11
Cenci because in the last 13 months.
their expenses for crippled children
have reached the sum of $,3,320.00
and their funds as a ,result are almost
depleted A Milk. 1kiid Seemed, the
logical solution and we hope through
the generosity q1 a sympathetic
people to ,provide a pint of milk per
-flay toeveryneedy childduring the
1100 clays of the difficult winter period,
Your help is urgently needed and a
bottle- of milk rfor • the needy child
costs only 01c, and the nickels, the
dimes and the quarters help wonder-
fully to make up this fuucl. We gladly
recei.e and acknowledge any amount.
