Women's Hospital Auxiliary The annual meeting of the Hospital Auxiliary was held on Monday after- noon, November 80th, in St. John's Presbyterian Church. As in former years the attendance was not large; nevertheless there were several ladies present who do not usually attend and we were pleased and encouraged to see them. Mrs. M. B. Dymond, President, op- ened 'the meeting with a particularly fitting prayer. She then welcomed the visitors to our meeting and also said some very kindly words to our own members, which pleased us very much. Mrs. Dymond also paid parti- cular tribute to the ladies of the sew- ing committee, who are still carrying on their invaluable work of keeping the hospital linen in repair, and also the library committee, who are doing a splendid job providing the patients with books from the library and cur- rent magazines. In former years some of the Auxi- liary's friends have been good enough to make an extra small Christmas cake or Christmas pudding and send it to the hospital, If some ladies can find it convenient to do the same thing this year it will be much appre- ciated.

Chapman, our recording secretary, gave a particularly good resume of the year's work, and Mrs. Donald Crozier, treasurer, gave a de- tailed report of the monies received and expenditures made. We spent | well over a thousand dollars on hospi- 'a balance of approximately $400. However, we have been working for some time towards the purchase of a recovery table so when this purchase is finally made the present bank bal- ance will be pretty well wiped out-- hence our need to keep on working.

It is always a struggle to save people from untimely deaths, but, if we are to prevent these deaths, the disease itself must be fought. There will come a time, I am sure, when tuberculosis will have been ban- ished from the earth. There will be their children into the world with no fear of their being exposed to this trightful disease.
