Both the treasurer and the W0- men s Auxiliary reported substantial balances. The question of accom- modation was felt `by several of the speakers to be a serious one, the work of the Society having expanded so that the present building is inade- quate to accommodate all the wards. Auxiliary s Good Work Mrs. Devlin reported for the W0- -men s Auxiliary a successful and busy year. Last year they had` I -Christmas tree, the tree as usual be- ing donated by H. E. Jory, and the ' telephone girls gave a present to,each ' child in the Shelter. Proceeds from the tag day in Barrie were $407.78 and tag days held in Orillia, Colling- wood and Bradford netted $341.21. There were now twenty-one children in the Shelter and nineteen in licens- ed infant homes, while eighteen were waiting to be accommodated. Some step, said Mrs. Devlin, is necessary to increase the accommodation. Greater Interest and Efficiency The president, A.` J. Sarjeant, in his report, stated that the work has shown progress and there has been a = steady growth in interest and effic-. iency. During the year 229 cases had been under consideration and 43 children had been made wards of the Society. The County Council had been generous in giving a large grant and improving the interior decora- tions and the Executive were grate- ful to all societies and individuals who had contributed he the work. The voluntary work of e treasurer, the doctors, dentists and lawyers and `the Women s Auxiliary were espec- ially worthy of commendation. A; the work of the Smiety became known it increased and now there is scarcely a case in the county of a child suffering or neglected but Mr. Justice is "called in.
