This fund means a great deal to this boy as he suffered so much from the hands of the enemy. Frank Casson, one of our boys who paid the su- preme sacrifice would be very proud of the spirit shown: •by the ladies for this kind act, as the fund was really started in memory of him. I take this means of thanking my friends and neighbors who supported this worthy cause which meant so much to a child who was left to face the priva- tions of a country at war.
