Jumble Sale

The Jumble Sale at the Benson Hall on Monday drew a large crowd of bargain hunters, all of whom expressed pleasure at the bargains they got.

There was a ready sale for all kinds of clothing and other articles, which were sent to the sale by friends from near and far.

The sale realised £17 - a very satisfactory amount.

To the Editor, Buntingford Gazette.

Dear Sir,

Will you permit me space to remind the public that Miss Ward and myself are again making a collection of pennies on Armistice Day in aid of Earl Haig's Fund, and it is hoped that the total will be worthy of the cause for which the collection is made.

During the past three years the totals have been:

1923 - £13 13s. 7d.

1924 - £10 3s. 0d.

1925 - £7 15s. 8d.

May this year's exceed that of 1923.

Yours faithfully,

F.W. Butler

Buntingford, Oct. 29th, 1926

Lantern Lecture

On Thursday evening in last week, Miss Rose Box, of the Colonial and Continental Church Society (Juvenile Branch), gave an interesting lantern lecture at St Peter's.

The lecturer gave an account of the Society's work in Kenya Colony, and the 80 slides were photos of the conditions in that Country.

The Rev. A. Howard opened and closed the service with prayer, and Miss L.M. Davies presided at the organ for the two hymns which were heartily sung.

Mr B.E. Thody kindly operated the lantern.
