Our thoughts for the past week at The Cove have been centred around the one big communitv get-together of the season, the annual meeting of The Chapel-on- the-Hill, -which xwas held on Sat- urday evening at Swastika Lodge, the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carlton. After a short, lime of exehiange of gossip the meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. C. P. Robins. Routine buisineýs was conducted expeditiously follow-ý ed by a few pertinent nemarks b 'y the President. He assured the meeting that the death of Mrs. W. D. Fox, the founder would flot alter the carryving on of the Cha- pel. He expresscd his appreci- ation of and thanks for the work which many members had donc to keep the Chapel functioning. He asked members to keep on showing the spirit of co-operation which made the Chapel possible. New business included the cre- ation of the office of Vice-Presi- dent and the purchase of more psalm books. For rnany years it has been a custom to make a small dona- tion from the Chapel funds to the Bowmanville Hospital as an ex- Pression of appreciation for the service rendered by the hospital. From the earliest days of The Cove. occasions have arisen in which summer residents have needed to avail themselves of these services. We have been grateful in our thoughts that the hospital has been there in time of need. This vear our gratitude is to take more tangible fonm.
