The general public is asked to assist to make these days an outstanding success. The idea is that everyons who can will give a pound of pickles, fruit or anything else that can be spared. If you have no fruit or vegetables or pickles a doâ€" nation of anything else will be appreciâ€" ated. Donations are not nscessarily confined to a pound or to any particuâ€" lar line.

The goods collected under the plan of "Pound Days‘"‘ will be distribuâ€" ted equally between the Children‘s Aid Shelter and St. Mary‘s hospital. These two institutions are continually in need of "pounds" of all kinds such as those suggested to be collected by the 1.O0.D.E. on Nov. 28th and 29th. In case you have a special preference you may mark your gift as for either the Shelter or the hospital. In such event it will go to whichever of the two you gesire. In case there is no preâ€" ference expressed, the goods will be divided equally between the two worâ€" thy causes. Timmins Golden Chapter I.O.D.E. has in past years held events similar to the ‘"Pound Days." These days have been successful and pleasing because they have had full public support. The complete support of the public in genâ€" eral is asked for "Poung Days," Nov. 28th and 29th. Give your pound, or two pounds, or whatever you are able to give in the way of pickles, fruit, groâ€" ceries or similar goods. The gift, whatâ€" ever it may be, may be left on the two dates noted either with Mrs. Watt or Mrs. Keane, or with the Beatty Washer Store.
