Once more it is my pleasure and privilege to submit to you an an- nual statement of the work of the Oshawa Hospital Auxillary for the' year 1929, Te be the 'president of an ore ganization that is so effective and resourceful as the Auxiliary is an honor that T appreciate very much. The work this year has not heen as intense nor have we had as con- centrated efforts as in other years, but to all who have worked during the past year my thanks are earn- estly and gratefully "tendered. Our sources of revenue have been through bridges teas,a dining tent at the Agricultural Fair, also our talent dollar gystem and rum- mage sales; a share of carnival proceeds, the raffle of a picture, reports and a band concert. Hospital Sun- day has been observed in all our churches. Our thanks are due to [the bandmaster and his able as- sistants, who provided us with an cock, took charge of the literary pro- | evening's enjoyment one summer gramme, His topic wsa based on the formation of modern history in par- allel with Biblical history. Following this talk the meecting was closed in the usual manner. / LOCAL HOME AND SCHOOL COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of the Home and School Council was held on January 21st, at four o'- clock, in the Y.M.C.A, board room. Mrs. R, 8. McLaughlin was presi- dent. After the report of the past month had been read by Miss Kals- er, an oratorieal contest for the various schools of Oshawa was dis- cussed. It was decided that this contest should be held on March 14, and the ladies are hoping that they may be permitted to use the Collegiate Auditorium for that pur- pose. Five judges were suggested. | A social evening was planned for the ladies of the council. This wil take place at the February meeting. The sotial will be a means of bringing the ladies to- gether. ST. GEORGE'S AYP.A. On Monday cvening, January 20, 1930, the St. George's Anglican Young People's Association held their reg- ular meeting in the Parish Hall at 8 pm. The meeting was in charge of the first vice-president, E. Pankhurst. The meeting opened wtih a hymn, followed by prayer, led by the: Rec- tor. Following the usual business mect- ing, two sides were chosen, and an old-fashioned spelling match took place. 'Prizes were awarded for the two best spellers, Miss Reta Weekes won the first prize and Miss Doris Dobney, the second prize. It is announced that there would be no meeting of the A.Y.P.A. next week on account of the Vestry meet- ing. evening. The work of the various depart- ments has been well and ably done. The Social Service Committee of which Mrs. James is the con- venor, hos been the means of bringing help and cheer to all of our indigent patients, besides fur- nishing a report on their proper convalescence. I feel that this work is particularly our own, inas- much as all standardized hospitals are required to do this work. Can- not some means be found to in- crease the number of our Visiting Committee? The value and import- ance of the work would thus he more deeply impressed on us. The Sewing Committee, headed by Mrs. F. Robson and Mrs. Lavis have done mighty work in the sewing- room, To them the Hospital owes much: the Auxiliary tenders its heartfelt appreciation of the fact that economically as well as in- dustrially the Sewing Committee is a blessing. Of them, also, it may be said, "Their strength is as the strength of ten." Our Monthly Visiting Committee have not been burdened with much ~ work, to judge from their reports. Also the fact that the hospital is in a thoroughly efficient up-to-date condition is another reason for their lessoned responsibilities. To the superintendent, Miss MacWilllams, and to the staff our thanks are due for many courtes- ies received, also for the Social Tea-hour each month that is given to the Auxiliary. Our sympathy goes out today in full measure to our dear friend and treasurer, Miss Dillon, who is undergoing such a trial of pair and discomfort, May she be restor- ed to her full strength very speed- ily, is our earmest hope. It was the year 1907 that our first Auxiliary was formed. I had the honor of being the first presi- dent, and Mrs, T. H. Everson the first secretary. The first $1,000 that the Auxiliary raised was used in buying some of the land that the hospital now owns. This money was raised by house to house canvass. The following were the collectors: Mrs. J. EB, Hawkins, Mrs. J. D. Storie, Mrs. Webster Miss O'Malley, Mrs. R. 8. McLaugh- lin, Mrs. A. J. Stalter, Mrs. John Hastings, Mrs. BE. W. Drew, Mrs. Guinnette, Mrs, John Bailes, Mrs. T. H. Everson, Mrs, McLean, Mrs. Crysdale (who secured a cheque from Mr, W, Christie, M.P. for $60, which 'was an extra), Mrs. Bloomer, Mrs, Podger, Mrs. Robert Williams and Mrs. G. H. Pedlar. These secured $986.45, which with our memhership fees brought the | sum total to $1,000. In 1909 var- fous generous indivduals and com- panies contributed a total of $10,- 700, thus making it possible to bitia the beginning of our hos- pital. It is a matter of great interest to. me to remember that the hos- pital has a distinct and definite as- sociation with the memory of that greatest nurse-ploneer, Florence Nightingale. On August 13th, 1910, when our doors were open ed to receive parents, in faraway England, on that same day were laid to rest forever the mortal re- mains of Florence Nightingale. May I ask that her spirit of ser- vice be remembered by wus all, carrying it on into the New Year we are just entering, as in all fu- ture years to come. Let us not for- get there is no such thing as self sacrifice, it fis merely service, which we have to give for others. A, L. McLaughlin, president. (Mrs, R. 8, McLaughlin).

CARUSO"S COSTUMES SOLD Ruth Walker ("Columbia") writing inn the Free Press says: A féw years ago in Italy I visited a sale of old theatrical costumes. Such finery! Fluffy ballot dresses from old Revues, Uniforms worn by famous actors in equally famous swashbuckling romantic plays. The ccarlet robes of a cardinal, complete even to the exquisitely embrqidered red gloves, But the treasures of the collection were some of Caruso's cos- tumes worn by him in his famous operatic roles, There was, for in- stance, the gorgeous equipment of "Rademes," his golden helmet, his Egyptian jewels, and even the sword which he relinguishes to the High Priest in the great scene on the banks of the Nile. Somehow or other these costumes made one rather sad. What would be their future life? Would they be used for fancy dress balls? Who would buy Caruso's costumes? Some collector off odd souvenirs, perhaps.
