PUBLIC APPEAL EXTENDED An extension of time in the public appeal for funds now being made by the War Amputations of Canada is announced from the Association's Toronto Branch Headquarters. "The response by the general public to the Amps' appeal is increasing day by day," said Robert Wilson, chairman of the Building Committee, "but it is obvious that a longer time will be needed for the attainment of our objective than the period previously set." 'Owing to our anxiety to avoid conflict with other public appeals im-idiafely preceding our own," he pointed out, "we refrained from publicizing our campaign prior to the opening date. The result has been a quite understandable lag in response until our need became widely known. 'One of our greatest drawbacks has been that our own members, owing to their disabilities, are unable to help to any extent in the personal canvass, which has proved to be necessary in appeals of this nature. However, certain women's groups have rallied to our help in a wonderful way. Their organization for this purpose is now operating and this extension of time is also necessary for their work. "Personal contributions are flowing in more heavily with every mail. Large donations are slow to date but wfr-hope and believe that this situation is only temporary. The revising of our plans is now in hand and with-the next few days a more complete statement will be issued." The appeal was launched on November 24th and was originally scheduled to end December 8th. The objective is $500,000 which will be used to build and equip a health, training and recreation centre for amputation cases. This centre will be dedicated to the memory of the war heroes who gave their lives. Donations in aid of this appeal should be mailed to the honourarv treasurer, Amps' Memorial Project, 62 St. Albans Street, Toronto, Ont.
