Furnishes Nurses' Residence In the fall of 1951 a small group women met to discuss the bility of forming an aux- iliary to the proposed Ajax hos- pital. This was before any work had done toward moving | the building to its new location. From this small group grew the present Women's Auxiliary with an average of sixty five ac- asso- ciate members. During 1952 and 1953 the wom- en raised sufficient funds to fur- nish a fourteen bed nurses resi- dence, with large lounge, kitchen- ette, and lobby. This included linen, drapes, dishes, etc. to Take it as comfortable as pos- sible. When linen for the hospital was purchased, the women undertook the task of making up the bolts of material into the necessary articles. Bed linen, operating room, nursery and kitchen needs were all taken care of. During the past two years, the auxiliary has purchased all the linen used, and maintain it at minimum re- quirements. A group meets at the residence every week to mend and make, besides large amounts of mending done at members homes.
