in the ranks of patriotic work and

veterans, together with their thanks 
and best wishes for God speed in our 
work. 
“Up to the present time we have 
spent $1,836 for relief and $162 for 
patriotic work. The figures show how 
busy we have been,* giving suppers, 
entertainments, flag presentations, 
gifts of money, visits to the homes 
of the sick and to the hospitals, jour- 
neys to the Soldiers’ home, raising 
funds for a monument and ever keep- 
ing green the memory of our de- 
parted heroes by the sacred observ- 
ance of Memorial Day. ‘These are 
some of the duties the ladies of the 
Relief Corps have faithfully per- 
formed by giving generously of their 
time, strength and money. To-night 
we are glad to bring to you a record 
of kind deeds and work well per- 
formed for 25 years and place it up- 
on the altar of patriotism. 
“The corps stands as the veterans’ 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
staunch friend, sharing their sorrows 
and joys, their defeats and victories 
of the present time and when the last 
comrade has passed on, the work of 
patriotic education, teaching fidelity 
to our flag will still be carried on by 
the women of this organization. Let 
me at this time thank the many 
friends of the Corps and the citizens 
of our town for their kind and gen- 
erous support.”
