Save The Children Fund Appeal Supports Local Work
The Manitoba Committee of Save The Children Fund led by Mr A Ross Little as treasurer seeks donations via Canada Permanent Trust Co. 298 Garry Street Winnipeg or through Mrs Shaw. The group sponsored 4600 children at a cost of about $100 per child, sent $3000 worth of clothing overseas, and spent a similar amount in Manitoba. The fund, created after World War I, now aids long term relief by teaching agriculture, funding wells, providing clothing and crafts training, and aiding street children to read and learn trades.
