The Jumble Sale held in North Hammersmith last Saturday on behalf of Hugo Blanco realised a profit of approximately £30. The final account has not yet been made as we had some material to sell privately. This includes over two dozen delightful children's books (new) which we intend selling for Christmas gifts. All in all, the sale was well worthwhile and the Committee will be transferring the proceeds to Peru for the support of Hugo Blanco's two children and for the benefit of his impending trial, including his co-defendants. One of the contributions made to us is Harold J. Laski's book on the Communist Manifesto by his widow, Frida, one of our sponsors. We intend to raffle this book at a social. The Committee are grateful to "The Week" readers, particularly the Hampstead comrade who contributed such a magnificent amount of material for the sale. And also to the two readers who assisted at the sale itself. Our thanks also to the reader in Glasgow who sent us a donation of £1. Another "Week" reader volunteered to organise a further sale in North London in the near future. In all, the Committee considered the results very gratifying and another concrete indication of the wide-felt support for the Committee for Solidarity with the victims of Peruvian repression.
