DURING the nine months ending the 30th September, 1919, the town of Alloa, in Clackmannanshire, raised for the Institution a sum of £301. As Alloa has a population of 12,000, this works out at a contribution of 6d. a head. This record has been exceeded in the past, but in all cases by seaside towns with a large summer influx of visitors. Does any inland town claim to have beaten Alloa's record in recent years ?.
