A President‘s Report To the Members of the Waterloo Branch V.O.N. for Canada, As President I am not going to weary you with a long address. We have reached another milestone in the history of our local V.O.N. and we are pleased to note from the various reports presented to us toâ€" day that progress has attended our efforts. The number of visits by our nurse has increased 158 over last year, and the receipts fron: visits have increased considerably. On the other hand the expenses have increased correspondingly. ‘This has been the first year that we have had charge of the Clinic and naturally this has added to our expenses. I feel we are to be congratulated for having such a faithful and efâ€" ficient nurse that Miss Henry has proven to be and for the splendid manner in which she handled the collections as everything has been collected so there are no outstandâ€" ing accounts. The good that has been done for the welfare of Waterâ€" loo citizens by the unselfish and sacrificing efforts of . our nurse, Miss Henry, cannot be estimated in dollars and cents and we owe to her a deep debt of gratitude. In the three years she has been with us she has certainly given us splenâ€" did service and as she is leaving us' very shortly it is to be hoped that Headquarters will be able to secure for us a good successor, but I feel her place will be hard to fill on acâ€" eount of her unusual qualifications. In wishing Miss Henry every sucâ€" cess in the future I am sure I am voicing the sentiments of every member of our Branch. k ie« ellent Reports Submitted By Mrs, A. K. Cr In connection with our financial obligations I feel that the work of our order has become so important that we should receive an increased grant from the town as the free visits of the nurse have increased by 367 during the past year. In closing I wish to tg:: every officer, committee and ividual member for the hearty coâ€"operation they have given me as President in the year just closed and trust that you will give your new President the â€" same . consideration. Again thanking you, Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth M. Cressman. Report of Recording Secretary Waterloo, Jan. 4th, 1926.‘ I have much pleasure in presentâ€" ing for your consideration, the seventh annual report of our Watâ€" erloo Branch V.O. N. for Canada. In reviewing the work achieved through this Order, during the past year we have every reason to feel gratified with the continued expanâ€" sion of our undertaking. Nine reguâ€" lar and several executive meetâ€" Ings were held with a fair attendâ€" ance at each. We would like again to invite all citizens interested in the work to become members of our If we could encourage our memâ€" bers to increase their attendance. this would be a great help and enâ€" couragement to those holding office. The Telephone committeo has done tWe Autev in aestating this line of visits, of which 1,115 were reports were M.

Co. fees, fees collected by nurse, sustaining and homorary membership fees. .« We record our appreciation to all who have shown their interest and generosity to the Order and also of our efficient nurse, Miss Henry. i Bessie D. Crowe, Report "of Corresponding Secretary Waterloo, Ontario. Madam President, and members of the local order of the Victorian Order of Nurses. Our correspondence this year has been as follows:â€" Copies of our annual report and other information asked for and also the income tax returns were sent to Head Office as usual There were letters of appreciatiaâ€" tion acknowledging donations an1 grants of nursery from the follow ing:â€" To the Town Clerk for the usual grant of $600.00 from the town of Waterloo. To the Ladies‘ Aid orâ€" ganizations of the churches for their willing response to our reâ€" quest. Also to the W.C.T. U. and there were several other donations bf clothing, etc., acknowledged from time to time. To Miss Henry there was cent a letter of appreciation for her excelâ€" lent services in Waterloo and also expressing our very great regret in accepting her resignation. To Head Office there was sent a) request that we be supplied with a’ new nurse to take Miss Henry‘s} place. Letters: were sent out to allT doctors asking that they take the‘ responsibility for the safe transporâ€"| tation of the nurse when she is on! duty for their patients late during: the night. A list of nominations for the local Council was sent in. Letters of condolence were written. Eighty letters containing the plans of the finance committee were sentl out during the past week to the' business men of Waterloo. Besides these items there was at her corâ€" respondence and also that regarding the visit of Miss Stevenson, Central Supervisor, which you have heard of at our various meetings. During my absence from home Miss Bauer kindly asisted with this correspondâ€" ence. Faithfully years, Elma P. Snyder. Corresponding Secretary. Jan. 4th, 1926 In presenting the Statistical Reâ€" port I think that the listener to many of whom the terms used are unfamiliar are apt to get tangled in the maze of figures. So that a brief review of the work done during the year and in comparison with preâ€" vious years may be interesting. 2821 visits were made, 1936 of these being nursing visits, 361 of which were free, 217 were in conâ€" nection with children who attend the Clinic, and 1115 free visits were made. There is an increase of 26 in the number of patients over last year and an increase of 158 in the number of visits. 66 confinements were attended, 19 of which were free. There is an increase of 5 in the preâ€"natal patients. We are enâ€" deavoring to impress the importâ€" ance‘ of this work on all mothers. [No charge is made for these visits, and as the V.O.N. is constantly ocâ€" cupied with maternity work in all its phases it is quite natural to supâ€" pose that even to those mothers who have already had several chilâ€" dren we are able to give advice, and helpful suggestions. However, 1 think that considerable progress has been made in this branch of our work. This being the last report which 1 shall present in the service of tha Victorian Order, I want to '.lnn)ll the Doctors for their coâ€"operation, the Committee whose willing and sometimes strenuous efforts have made the work possible. The local Chapter of the Canadion Red Cross and the various organizations of -ll‘i the town who have so materially assisted in the providing of baby clothes and other necessary articles. Also the Waterloo Garage Co., for courtes y and consideration at all times. . â€" * All of which is respectfully sub mitted. L. M. Henry.
