CHILDREN'S COUNTRY HOLIDAYS FUND.

[To THE BMWS or ran SPECTATOR:1

Bin.—An appeal has been mode to the Executive Committee of the Children's Country Holidays Fund to send away as many children as possible from the school which suffered so severely in the recent air raid. Probably a change of scene and the quiet peace of the country will best serve to banish memories of the children's tragic experience, and will soothe and steady overwrought nerves. Every effort will be made to send away a large proportion of the children irons this school. May I appeal through your columns for donations for this purpose? Wo ask also that residents in the Western Counties within one hundred and fifty miles of London, who ere in a position to secure suitable accommalation in good cottages, will communicate with the Secretary, 18 Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C. 2. Not only for these children, but for all children in the East End, where scares of air raids tell severely on the nerves, the country holiday is of special value this year.—I am, Sir, Ac.,

FR SEEM MORRIS

(Chairman of the Executive Committee).
