Our Aberdare Fund—L4,564 I 5s. 8d. so far

Owing to the Christmas Holidays the following list represents subscriptions to the SPECTATOR Aberdare Fund received up to the first post on Friday, December 21st, 1928. All amounts received after that date will be acknowledged in our next issue. All remittances (which should be addressed to the Editor, The SPECTATOR, 18, York St., Covent Garden, London, W.C.' 2) should be made payable to the SPECTATOR Ltd., and crossed " Aberdare %." We acknowledge gratefully a further consignment of parcels. The distribution of the SPECTATOR Fund is in the hands of a local Committee at Aberdare, the Chairman of which is the Chairman of the Urban District Council, the Hon. Treasurer is the Director of Education, and the Hon. Secretary, the Town Clerk. The need is urgent, and we would appeal to those who have not yet contributed to do so.
