What may be preventing gain in weight? The first thought is infection because infected teeth, gums, tonsils or sinuses may be snapping ths strengith and not only prevent gain i1 weight but may: be eausing thin blood, lack" of appetite, and general weakâ€" ness.

At present, approximately 230 women sew regularly at the workâ€"room; there are also three groups who take out work to do at home. During 1941, our !purchaser. Mrs. I. K. Pierce, tells me ithat 6.550 yards of material were mads? |\ into garments and 75 l5s. of, wool were knitted into sweaters and other garâ€" \men‘s for boys and girls This raw material was converted into 2578 sewn ‘and 310 knitted articles of clothing and \bedding. In addition, 111 articles, mâ€" \cluding clothing and patchwork quilts, | were donated to us. 2999 articles in ‘all, were shipped from our sewing \rooms. The sum ‘otal of all articles ;shipped from all departments was 16,â€" C0O8. Not only is the quantity impresâ€" ‘sive but the workmanship has been ‘excellent. â€" The women cof Timmins deâ€" serve a great deal of credit for their |work during the past year and I feel safe in saying, Mr. President, that if the need arises: for even greater effor‘s. that they will continue to rise to the occasion. ; At ‘this point, I wish to thank Mr. I to the tailoring of girls‘ coats and boys‘ suits. In January the cutâ€" ‘ting committee moved from the Barâ€" ‘dessona Home :o the bassment of the ;A. J. Shragge Ltd. Store, in order to have more working space. Four difâ€" lferent groups worked one day a tweek | each, but even so, could not keep pace cwith the sewers. Finally we investiâ€" the advantages of buying an machine. After studyâ€" ing the matter thoroughly a machins iwas purchased and put into cperation in June. Since then under the conâ€" venership of Mrs. R. Osborn and‘ a commi‘tee ‘of eight, our cuting probâ€" lems have «4Hisfartnrfit | an~nlirad mon with all other branches, we exâ€" perienced a falling off in the number of workers. In September the executive commit‘ee appointed a committee unâ€" der the convenership of Mrs. C. Desâ€" aulniers to deal with this matter. So successful have they been that during the last two months of the year, we averaged a daily attendance of over twenty workers, which is very close to the limit of our present capacity. Practically all our sewing is done in the two very comfortable rooms proâ€" vided by Mr. P. M. Bardessona in the basement of his house. These workâ€" rooms were kept going five afternoons and one or two evenings a week all year until December 19th. Mrs. W. J. McCoy, as sewing convener, has genâ€" eral supervision over all the sewing, assisted by fourteen supervisors, two of whom are on duty daily. Mrs. C. FP. Watson, as workâ€"rocm convener, has charge of supplies and equipment. The final inspection and packing of garâ€" ments is done by the Viceâ€"Chairman, Mts. J. E. Sullivan, and the Chairman. During the summer months in comâ€" In August owing to a previous comâ€" mittment, Mr. A. J. Shragge was no longer able to allow us the use of the basement under his store. We were very loath to leave such comfortable quarters but were fortunate in being able to obtain the use of the Post Office basement. Accordingly the cutting and surgical departments were moved â€" to the Post Off.ce building at the end of August. ns * M e > t mt eE 1 Nt : in 2 | 2 lems have ibeen satisfactorily solved, and nine women were doing the work ‘hat had formerly taken twentyâ€"eight.
