This suggestion may
sound a little cold but it's
a practical necessity. The
Alliance has an Endow¬
ment Fund which has
been in existence for
many years, and built up
largely from bequests
made in wills by friends
and supporters of the
Alliance. The corpus of
the Fund remains in trust
and may be used only for
the building of a new
building; the interest
may be used for carrying
on the regular program
of the Alliance.
Members are asked to
remember the AUiance
when drawing up their
wills.
