With two days this week to be given for welfare benefit it is almost certain that the figure will soar above the $1,000,000 mark. One reason the figure reaches this gratifying mark is that the Turf Club absorbs all overhead on these days. Donations have not yet been finally accounted however partial payments in the amount indicated above have been made to the War Chest, American Red Cross, American Legion, California Turf Foundation, California Breeders Foundation, and a group of War Relief agencies and Welfare Organizations engaged in rehabilitation work for returning veterans.

The other will benefit Child Welfare Agencies and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
