(continued from page 99)
In an address Mr. Neil Shaw,
general secretary of An Comunn,
recalled that it was at Aberfeldy
he had given his first address as
secretary thirty-six years ago.
Aberfeldy and district, he said,
had given loyal support to the
Gaelic movement, and it was most
encouraging to find competitors
coming forward in such numbers.

An Comunn Central Fund
The high levels of present day costs of all kinds
are reflected in the largely increased expenditure
involved in conducting the various activities of An
Comunn, even on the pre-war scale, let alone expanding
them. Towards meeting this largely increased ex¬
penditure, donations and subscriptions to the Central
Fund of An Comunn are required to the extent of
£\ ,000 per annum. Donations, large or small, will
be gladly received and acknowledged by the Treasurer,
Mr. James T. Graham, C.A., 5 St. Vincent Place,
Glasgow, C.l. Remittances should be made payable
to “An Comunn Gaidhealach. ’
