At the annual meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary in Chapel Hill last week, we voted to collect keepsakes and treasures of gold and silver that people would like to give to be made into a Communion Service. It will first be used, according to our Bishop’s suggestion, at Camp Greene; after the war is over it is to be given by the Bishop to some missions where it is needed. Gifts of silver will be used to make the service; gold and jewels will pay for the cost of making and be used in ornamentation.
