tions to the James May. Memorial .
Fund has evoked further response ,
duri ing the week, the amount.
subseribed to date, while giving.
evidence of the remarkable num-. ~
ber of people who knew and ad- :
mired the old pioneer, still falls?
far short of the total necessary
to carry out the object ofthe.
fund,

“It is hoped that: the present
‘total of $120 will be doubled, in
fact it is most essential that this
be done. Everybody practically

quest. for more contributions i is:
