literature supplied for reading

…On Sunday last Mr. T. H. Madigan (State Council) and Mr. Marmion (a member of the Essendon branch A.C.F.) drove out to Broadmeadows to the Foundling Hospital with Catholic literature collected by the Essendon branch. The visitors were met by the Rev. Mother, who showed them all over the home and thanked them for the literature supplied for reading for those in the institution. The members of the Federation then drove to the Greenvale Sanatorium for Consumptives, where large bundles of good reading and Catholic literature were left with the matron of the home for distribution among the members. The matron was greatly pleased at the work done by the members, and a cordial invitation was received from both places to again make a visit at an early date. It is the intention of the Essendon branch to visit these places at intervals during the year. In a letter received by Mr. J. Madigan, secretary of the Essendon branch council, from Dr. Brown, superintendent of the sanatorium, the doctor writes that the Catholic Federation was the only organisation that has yet volunteered to distribute literature among the inmates.
