Note:
In the year 1934, the first of October was adopted as the start of the fiscal year instead of the first of April. This change led to the closing of accounts
for this year, which began in April 1934, at the end of September 1934, so that they would open on the first of October. Thus, the year 1934 appears in the
attached statistics table as a half-year only.

You will give our committees the necessary attention and implement their instructions and morale to enable them to revive these charitable institutions.
Furthermore, we enclose herewith a form which we hope you will take the initiative to fill out and send to Mir
