A Life-Boat Worker of Four Years Old
THE following story of how a little girl of four years old worked for the Life-boats has been sent to the Institution by the Honorary Secretary of its Llandudno Branch:— "A little girl visitor, Betty Ruth Wharton, of Oldham, only four years of age, thought she would like to help the Llandudno Life-boat; and it was a remarkably ingenious method she adopted for that purpose. First of all, she saved up some of her ' sweetie pennies.' With these she bought a small quantity of sweets which she sold to her friends at a profit. Her increased ' capital' was re-invested in the same way, and with the same results, until at last she was proudly able to present the sum of 11s. 8d. to Councillor John Roberts for the fund."
