FRENCH MESSAGE Three Rivers, Jan, 16.~--~When the president of the Toronto Board of Trade sent a New Year's tele- gram in French to the local' Chambre de Commerce, he touch- ed a chord which is still vibrat- ing. Newspapers here carry at length speeches made at the llast meeting of the Chambre, at which members referred with gratifica- tion to what they termed this "flattering significance of the bonne entente," REAL OLD ICE STORM DELIGHTS FRUITMEN St, Catharines, Jan. 16.--~After considerable worry about mild weather in the fruit district, like || ly to cause a premature budding of peach trees, the 'groweps were pleased tonight with a old ice storm. The coating of the trees with ice is regarded as one of the most effective of nature's remedies against insects, particularly the San Joe scale, In previous years a Winter of ice storms has in- variably been followed byy a big fruit crop and immunity from San Jose stale according to the oldest and most experienced fruit grow- QUEBEC | == ers here, ; to give 1 ble outline of perations for the Jour: ous on ertaking was a play p local talent under the di- of Mr. Zarfas. was and n to our 'plan was the most all our plans.

It was mot only most enjoyable, but the net results, $107.00, were very gratifying. Two rummage sales were held in March and November respec- tively, Hospital Sunday held in May was not as successful as we had hoped for. Our returns from this source are getting less every year, being $20.00 less this year than in 1926. It would seem that ft should be a much better source of revenue than it is, as so many can be appealed to from the Church, Our Auxiliary helped with the Graduation Exercises of the nurses held in June. The Anniversary of the opening of the Hospital was observed by 1s- suing an . invitation through the Daily Paper to the Citizens, invit- ing them to visit the Hosnital and Nurses' Residence on the 11th, 12th and 18th of August. I regret to have to report, however, that very few responded to our invita- tion, A very pleasant surprise in connection with this anniversary was a check for $100.00 from Mr, McMaster, of Montreal, sent to Mrs. McLauchlin as a donation to the Auxiliary.

If each mem- ber will' assist in an endeaver to place more of our Talent Dollars out this new year than we have been able to place before, may we not, in view of the great increase of population in our rapidly ex- panding City = réasonably = expect to increase this revenue : from this source to the sum of $1,000 for 1928, Supplies Costly Our greatest' expenditure this vear was for Hospital Supplies. This included material for Nursery Supplies, such as baby clothes, crib blankets, sheetings, pillow cases, towelling, both face and bath, table linen, flanellette, cur- tain material, and last but not least, material for Surgical Gowns. A very important purchase by our Auxiliary was what is known es a Quartz Lamp and D'athermy Outfit, costinz $700.00, This new equipment will add greatly to the efficiency of the Hospital in gen- eral, The Auxiliary paid for the paint- ing of the Nurses' Residence both ins'de and out. In addition we papered it, at a total cost of about $500.00, Among the smaller items pur- chesed were a gas stove and steam table for the diet kitchen, We received a donation of an Electric Breast Pump fronmr a well wisher of our Hospital; also a cheque from the Women's Institute of Brooklin, for blankets, and a cheque for $51.00 from the Minis- terial Association, the latter eom- ing as 'a donation from a. collec- tion taken on Confederation Sun- day. All of which was gratefully appreciated by our Auxiliary. The Social Service Department, with Mrs, B. A. Brown as Con- venor, has done splendid work this year providing clothing and medi- cine to needy patients in their homes after leaving the Hospital, and advising mothers in feeding their babies. 'The other Commit- tees in this department, the Library and Motor committee gave splen- did assistance throughout the year. The Auxiliary gave a donation of $25.00 to this Social Service Com- | mittee to aid them in their work. {The Committee were very for- !tunate in having Miss Knisley of | the Toronto General Hospital So- cial Service Department address them at a Special Meeting on this phase of Hospital work, 1 feel that we cannot say enough for the splendid work of the sew- ing ecommittea, Mrs, Bohn and Mrs, Layis, The amount of sew- ing and mending that this Com- mittee has cove is a great eredit to them, and of untold benefit to the Hospital, Lost Two Members Our Auxiliary suffered a very grevious loss this year as our President has alreudy stated, through the death of two very dear members; Mrs, Robert Wil. Yjams, end Mrs, H. E. Merphy, our Inte Treasurer, Both ploncers in the development of the Oshawa Hospital; women of outstanding character and integrity who gave unselfishly of their service and de- votion to this cause. Since the very inception of this Hospital and through all the years of its opera- tion they remained faithful to their self-imposed duties, and the mem- ory of their fellowship and kindly counsel always so graciously given, will be ever an inspiration to us all to carry on this good work for the benefit of the sick and in- jured. In closing, may I, on behalf of the Oshawa Hospital Auxiliary, thank the Citizens of Oshawa for their loyal and generous support throughout the year, and may I al- 4|s0 extend our very hearty thanks i| to Miss MacWilliams for her kind hospitality to our members in their various meetings throughout the year. The treasurer's report was algo read by Mrs. F. Bull, and met with the approval of those present. Receipts Cash on hand Jan. 1, '28 $360.86 Talent Dollar Recei _-- 647.75 Cheque W. I.

SCHELL, Auditor, The Social Service committee which has .been reorganized, has had a very good year, which was read by Mrs. B, A, Brown, follows in detail: oo 38.77 The following is a review of the | ¥¥ Social Service work carried on by our department during 1927: The Soclal Welfare with Mrs, made seventy-two committee visits, This branch of the work enables us to |B vicit the Patients in their homes af- | E& ter their discharge from the Hos- pital, in order that we may record their continued progress and home lft conditions, This information is filed in the office where it is rend- ily accessible to the Medical Staff, The Relief Comm/'ttee with Mrs, Soanes and Mrs. Weir as Con- venors, whose duty it is to invest:- gate homes of patients who are fi- nancially distressed and to assist them by supplying immediate ne- cessities, made thirteen calls. The thirteen homes visited were furn- ished with various articles to meet their urgent need. The Motor Committee under Mrs. Gray's convenorship, is avail- able at all times to convey patients i to and from the Hospital where circumstances demand free trans- portation, Dstribute Magazines The Library Committee distri buted magazines periodically to Patients in the wards. During the year four hundred and twenty- five were supplied, is convenor of this committee Two special meetings were held, one of which was addressed by Miss Knisley, Director of Social Service Work of the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital. Her remarks were most interesting and instructive, This type of work is apparently appreciated among the sick as on every occasion the workers re- celved a warmr welcome hope this department may help to stimulate a good feeling toward the Hospital. We are pleased to report the gift of two sections of a Book Case donated by Mrs. McLaughlin to be used in connection with the Hos- pital library; the bequest of 24 books from the late Mrs. Morphy and the late Mrs. Williams; and the Oshawa Hospital Alumnae has sub- scribed $50.00 to be appropriated toward a fund for a part time paid Social Service worker. In addition to a cot, baby car- riage, a2 quantity of clothes and shoes were donated by members and friends of the Auxiliary, After this report was read, Miss MacWilllams told of the plan of the: murses' alumnae to retain a part time social seryice worker to carry on the follow up work, that is, to yisit the patient as soon as possible after they leave the hos- pital. The auxiliary welcomed this offer of co-operation with the nurses, all agreeing that someone trained in this work, it would be much more profitable and helpful to the patients. Se Committee The very interesting report of the sewing committee was read by Miss MacWilliams, being com- piled by Mrs. F, Robson. The sewing committee have had a very busy year. One afternoon a week has been devoted to the work; three machines have been kept in operation, We have en- deavored to keep all the linen in fairly good repair which is no light task in itself. With the able as- fstance of Mrs. Lavis to look after the cutting and planning of the new supplies, we have attended to all the requirements of the Nursery and the wards and over 1400 pieces were made up consisting of nursery garments, Pneumonia jackets, bed- ding, towels, tray cloths and cov- ers, stand covers and numerous other supplies. The thanks of the committee aré gratefully extended to all who have in any way helped to make this work a success, and a hearty fnvitation is 'extended to all to in the work for the follow- year.
