Mollington – The War

Special services of prayer on behalf of the soldiers engaged in the war were held in this parish on Friday, August 21st at 11 am and 6 pm. A committee of ladies has been formed under the presidency of Mrs. Purdue for making garments for the soldiers. A house-to-house collection was made by Miss Purdue and Mrs. Aubrey Boddington, and the appeal was generously responded to, the amount realised being £5 12 s. 7d., with the prospect of a few more contributions. The collections at the harvest festival, on September 27th, will be equally divided between the Banbury Hospital and the Prince of Wales Patriotic Fund. Harvest operations are well advanced owing to the continuance of the fine weather.
