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

Dear Sir,

RED CROSS FLAG DAY

I think your readers will perhaps like to know the result of the Red Cross Flag Day held at Buntingford and district on September 25th.

The following amounts were collected:

Buntingford - £5 2s. 6d.

Aspenden - 17. 8d.

West Mill - £1 1s. 2d.

Wyddiall - 13s. 5d.

There were no expenses, so that the full amount collected, £7 14s. 9d., was able to be sent to Sir Hildred Carlile, Bart., the County Treasurer.

I wish to thank both the Flag Sellers who worked so hard and so successfully, and the general public who gave so generously.

Yours faithfully,

M.I. Veasey, Vice-President, B.R.C.S.

Layston Lodge, Buntingford.
