FRANK DOLAN OBITUARY Richmond Hill Lions’ Club plan to hold a “White Elephant" Auction Sale in: the High School “Gym” Fri- day evening, Jan-nary 30th. The White Elephants will be anything donated to the Lions and: the- pro- ceedls will all go to the Lions Britâ€" isw Child: War Victimsf Fund. The Richmond Hill Club early this year made a substantial donation to this fund, and at its last meeting made a further commitment to care for two child? bomb victims for a year. In this worthy undertaking they ask the help of the people of Richmond Hill and surrounding district. The care of two of these unfortunate children for a year Wlll‘ cost $250. This amount the Ioeal club is pledged to give in addition to carrying on its regular work in the community and supporting in every possible way all branches of war work. us that possibly the most heart- rendimlg features of the all-out air war against Britain is the plight and suffering of homeless and or- phaned children. Many have been badly injurerl and need care, attenâ€" tion ani the best of nourishment for a long, long time. Specific cases have been mentioned in letters and reports received by the local Lions from those who carry on this work overseas. A letter states, “one boy of seven under our care has had his leg blown off. Several very young children have been badly burnedJ by incendiary bomibs. We have Sally, agedl 31 both parents and her Ibrcsther and sister killedi in: an air raid. Sandra aged 8 months â€" mother killed in an air raid, father an auxiliary fireman and unable to look after his baby by reason of his work. Then there is the case of Rita, age 9 months. Her d’adidy was .a soldier home on leave. During a raid the father, mother and! all the family except little Rita were kill- ed.” And so we could) cite the parti- culars of the thousands of British children; who are being ‘caredt for through the efforts of Lions’ Clubs and! their friends. Lions of Canada already have sent thousands of dollars worth of oom- forts to the children of Britain. Ob- servers who “have been there” tell To provide funds for this work the Lions will holdl the White Ele- phant Sale Friday. January 3-0th. Further particulars al'bout some fea- tures will be announced later,, but right now the Lions ask you to look around and see what you can‘ donate to the sale. Almost every house has- some article for which they have no further use tucked away in the cellar or attic. In every home are pieces- of furniture, oldl clothing, outâ€"grown toys, pictures, tools, lamps, skates, skis, old, radios; too good to throw away and yet only cluttering up good space in the home. On Such articles or anything which ansyone cares to donate the Lions Club hOpES to realize a substantial sum for the kiddies of Britain. ‘ White Elephants To Work F orBomb The Lions are pleased to announce that Mr. J.
