While the Chapter has been a little larger numerically, it has never boen more strong, and the many undertakings of the past year have always found willing assistants. The Regent has not spared herself on any function or undertaking the Chapter bas taken up and much of the success of the past year is cheerfully meted out to her on the tact and good management she has shown. The Sec‘y gavo in detail the anâ€" nual statement of the past year, the following being the foreword : "Canadian Greys I.O.D.E. have passed the tenth milestone of their existence as a Primary Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, and we are glad to be able to say one of the most harmoniqus. On Tuesday night, Feb. 8th, the annual meeting of Canadian Greys, 1. 0. D. E., was in progress and it is most gratifying what another successâ€" ful year has been completed by the Chapter. The Regent, Mrs Kearney, was in the chair. Before election of officers, several items of business were disposed of. At the last meeting, the Chapter made a donation of $25 to Monument Fund in town, and a com. was ap pointed to interview monument com. as to the most urgent needs for the further beautification of this spor. Mr Jackson is most anxious that a flag pole be erected on the grounds and if the Chapter would do this, he would donate a flag suitable for the purpose. While the com. have some funds on hand, the I. O. D. E. are the only Society who now coniribute to the fund and feels very strongly that if the Chapter would work hand in hand with the com., something might be accomplished. It was decided to purchase flag staff in the meantime and a com. from the Chapter is to see Mr. Calder as to what he really wants the 1.0.D.E. to do The Chapter‘s room at Hospital is to be freshly decorated. The Society elose the year with a balance of nearly $200 on hand. The many avenues of philanthropic work found the Chapter ready and practical sympathizers and locally, as well as in its allegiance to its head officlals, it has sought to keep the beacon light of the Chapter, i. e., "devotion to Flag and Empire" be fore its members. During the year the Society lost by death one of their most valued members, Mrs. R. Burâ€" nett, and her presence and counsel have been missed by each and every one of its members." At close of business, Mrs Kearney and Sec‘y and Treas. vacated their chairs and Miss Weir and nominaâ€" ting com. were in charge. On going to ballot, the following slate was elected to conduct business for 1927 : Regent, Mrs G. Kearney 1st Vice Regent, Mrs (Dr.) Grant #nd Vice Regent, Mrs J. H. Harding Secretary, Miss A. M.
