The Union Recorder Treasure
Trove Hunt has at last aroused the
complete interest of members and
public alike as the finish draws
nearer and nearer, with every ambi
tious worker doing her best to close
the, already small, gaps between the
leading contenders. There is no such
thing .as standing still now, for a
number either advances or falls a
little back. This week shows several
changes in the comparative standing
and no doubt there will be more
changes to come in the few working
dayy left before March 24th.
