Bedridden Girl's Life-Boat Bazaars

A FRAMED picture of a Life-boat going out to a vessel in distress has been presented to Miss Ruby Snow, of Bideford, in gratitude for her work for the Life-boat Service. Although Miss Snow, who is seventeen years old, has been bedridden for years, she has on three occasions held bazaars in aid of the Life-boats. The first of these was in 1923, and the second and third were this year. At the third bazaar, for which she had been working for the past six months, she had a fancy-stall, a vegetable stall, a sweet-stall and a dip.

She made £8 10s. 10d., and the expenses were about five shillings. Altogether Miss Snow has sent over £13 to the Institution, and " has made up her mind that as long as she is able she will work for it.".
