The Children’s Island Sanitarium in Salem Harbor 
‘One of North Shore’s Deserving Charities 
HO will help a deserving charity on our own shores? 
Who will help the little crippled, suffering children 
in our midst? 
Do the Shore people really know of the needs so 
near home? 
Will the Shore people answer these questions by 
assisting at a bridge tournament to be given on Friday, 
September rst, at 3 o'clock at Mrs. R. S. Bradley’s, 
Pride’s Crossing, for the benefit of the Children’s Island 
Sanitarium, Salem Harbor. 
The committee in charge is composed of Miss Brad- 
ley, Mrs. George Denny, Miss Fitz, Mrs. Marshall 
Fabyan and Miss Mary Franks.

Beverly Farms. Owing to of tables being 
limited it would be wise to make application as soon as 
possible. 
In next week’s Breeze we shall give a short story 
of the work done at the Island, with information for 
anyone wishing to visit the place, see the children and 
the work they do in weaving baskets and in pottery work. 
Boats leave Tucker’s Wharf, Marblehead, at 3 p.m 
on Sundays for the choir service. Visitors are most 
welcome and will find this service both pathetic and 
interesting. 
Progress of the Mosquito Campaign 
HE following circular letter has been mailed to a large 
number of residents of the North Shore. Attention 
is now called to it that anyone desiring to contribute io 
the Mosquito Extermination fund may 7d so. No work 
will be done until the full amount needed has been sub- 
scribed. 
The letter referred to was signed by William D. 
Sohier, George R. White and Charles C. Walker, finance 
committee, and was as follows: 
“At a meeting of the association it was decided that 
it was impossible to raise enough money on the plan 
started last year—to wit, fifty-dollar subscriptions—to. do 
a thorough job in exterminating the mosquitoes. 
“The estimated cost of the work, by the United States 
Drainage and Irrigation Company, was $30,000 last year. 
This would substantially take care of the area reaching 
from the city of Beverly or Beverly Cove to Freshwater 
Cove in Gloucester, draining the salt marshes and stagnant 
pools, coating the ones that couldn’t be drained with ou, 
unless they were big enough for fish, filling the water holes 
in the rocks, etc. This inrigation company has been care- 
fully looked up and it has given most excellent satisfac- 
tion in many other places. 
“Tt was evident that if the work was to be done on a 
business-like basis that we must secure subscriptions of 
reasonably large sums of money to do the work in the 
first instance, and then rely on a small yearly subscription 
later for maintenance. The undersigned were therefore 
appointed on a finance committee to see whether it was 
practical to secure enough money to insure thorough work. 
In the last two weeks the following have, among others, 
agreed to contribute: 
Wm. H. Moore $1000 D.L. Pickman $200—300 
Wim. H. Coolidge 1000_-=«~Dr. F. Sears 250 
H. C. Frick his share Chas. E. Cotting 250 
George R. White 500 Philip S. Sears 250 
Walter Denégre 500 W.S.& J.T. Spaulding 250

Eben D. Jordan 500 Philip Dexter 250 
Frank Frazier 500 Robert S. Bradley 250 
BP) Gavit 500 Win. B. Walker 250 
“It seems probable, therefore, that if the residents 
on the Shore are willing to do their share and join in this 
work, that enough money can be secured. Any contribu- 
tion that you may subscribe now willl be in place of the 
amount you may shave already agreed to give for this 
year. If you are willing to join with the subscribers 
named above in carrying on this improvement, please reply 
to Wm. D. Sohier, State House, Boston, stating what 
sum you will contribute.” 
HE ANNOUNCEMENT’ of the engagement of Miss Kath- 
erine E. Turnbull to Chalmers Wood, Jr., is of inter- 
est to many on the North Shore. The Chalmers Woods

connections here. Miss Turnbull is the daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Ramsey Turnbull of New York and Morris- 
town, N. J. Mr. Wood is a member of several clubs,
