We have received the, following donations for our local branch : Mr Horsfall 10s 6d, Mrs Horsfall 5s, Mr Geo Shepherd senr. £1 1s; Mr Barber £1 1s; Protestant Federation meeting half proceeds 15s ; half proceeds sale of flowers, Captain Gates, 15s; half share Show prize money, Major Conder, 10s; half proceeds Girls’ Concert, £.3 17s 10d ; Miss Barber (carving cloth) 7s 6d.

Our members have visited the Langwarrin Hospital to cheer the boys who have fought for us, and taken gifts of sweets and cigarettes.

We have also visited the Caulfield Hospital, and were entertained by our member, Mrs White.

The increase of correspondence has been considerable during the past six months and 1,322 envelopes have been used for notices, receipts and correspondence, showing the amount of clerical work done. With the assistance of the residents of the district we have entertained the returned wounded on two occasions, so I think all will agree with me that a strenuous half year has had a good result.

Our official collector, Mrs Barber, is doing good work for the French Red Cross appeal, and good donations are coming in. We also have a beautiful booklet “Women of our Empire� in aid of the Red Cross. “A tribute� by Nurse Primrose. No patriotic woman can afford not to have one of these beautiful books. They are 1s each.
