The meeting was opened with a prayer by the Rev. W. Mrs. Corbett, the treasurer, pre- sented a report showing that there had been $693.28 received and $646.83 expended with the small bal- ance on hand of $46.25. The re- port was received and adopted. Mrs. Vanluven reported for the King's Daughters, outlining the zation during the past year. Professor McIntosh, of Queen's, explained to the meeting the scope and workings of the Mothers' Al- lowance Board, telllng where its provisior® applied and the condi- 'tions required. H. C. Nickle, when called upon, mentioned his transfer to another sphere of work as chairman of the General Hospital, He praised the work of that institution and told of the many fine additions made re- cently and urged {ts general sup- port, He particularly asked that everything possible be done to have citizens take advantage of the splen-| did new Isolation Hospital had been described as a model to| look up to by thé Minister of Health | for Ontario. Dr. Sands followed Mr. Nickle on | that subject and quoted cases where | demics from neglect of families to report or even properly care for con- tagious diseases. Major Allan Stroud, Ontario Gov- ernment Employment superintendent for Kingston, outlined the situation as he expected It for the coming winter and told the association what might be expected along that line. Rev. Mr. Black, children's aid so- ciety representative, gave several aspects of his work which dovetail with that of the Poor Relief thanked them for co-operation. Mrs. Vanluven proposed the adop- tion of the following executive com- mittee for 1924-256 and it was ac- cepted: Mrs. Oberndorffer, Miss Ma- char, Miss Strange, Mrs. J. Wright, Miss Lewis, Miss Richmond, Mrs. W. H. Gimblett, Mrs. 8. 8. Corbett, Miss B. Jack, Mrs. F. R. Robinson, Mrs: Joseph Elliott, Mrs. Fairlie, Mrs. L. C. Lockett, Mrs. Easson, Mrs. F. Reid, Mrs. H. FP. Richardson, Mrs. 8. H. Simpson, Mrs. E, D. Vanluven, Mrs. DuMoulin, Mrs. Mackay, Mrs. King, Mrs. Mrs. A. K. Williams, Mrs. William Jackson, Miss Oberndorffer, Miss Neish, Miss Leeder, Red Cross re- presentative, King's Daughters "Lend-a-hand' representative. The report of the president, Mrs. John Wright, was as follows: It is with pleasure that we report a larger attendance and increased in- terest in our meetings. During the year the committee members have been unfailing--always ready, day or night, when asked to visit. We have lost two members by death, one through illness and two by removal from the city and we still cherish the memory of their work. Seventeen meetings were held with an average attendance of four- teen. There were 121 families who received assistance, fifty-six from lack of work, seventeen through sickness, sixteen ex-soldiers without pension or one so small that extra assistance was deemed advisable thirteen widows, one unmarrieff mother, three quarantine cases, one where the man was in goal, two aged unable to work and twelve deserted wives. 1 would draw attention to the fact that wife desertion seems to be om the increase and frequently when the deserter has been located by the police, the necessary funds were not available to bring him back; but Bosher, the payment of the expense incurre in serving a warrant or a summons out of legislative appropriation. A problem that gives considerable trouble is the persons begging (or making a pretence of selling articles) from door to door with a hard luck story. If the kind hearted citizens who respond to these appeals, would take the name and address of such persons and ask for information, they would find that in most cases, that relief had already been given from public funds, and that begging was found easier and more lucra- -- than work, From years of ex- perience, we find that those most de- serving are loath to ask or Accept help. We appreciate very much the co- operation of the churches and socle- ties doing relief work, as over-lap- ping is thus prevented. Our methoa vor finding employ dccount | jof the illness and unavoidable ab- | w. | act as E. Kidd, M.C. | charitable work done by that organi- | ¢ Board of Directors of the Kingston | which | Kingston had suffered serious epi-| and | Revelle, Mrs. | now under the Deserted Wives and | Children's Act, provision is made fag pee | aldermen for their annual rant to { Poor Relief and the appropriation | { for special relief, We sincerely thank | | Mr. H. C. Nickle for his time ard| counsel so freely given, Chief Robin-| {son for his advice and help when| | needed, Mr. Stroud, of the Govern-' | ment Employment Bureau, Alder-| '| man Sergeant and Mr. L. T. Best for {| medicine for sick people, the G. W. | V. A. for their liberal grant and co- | operation, the Kiwanis Club for their | Community Christmas tree, and the | King's Daughters for their supper; for poor children, We also extend | our heartfelt thanks to the British | Whig and Daily Standard for their; kindness to us, which is much ap-| preciated. | This year is closing and another opening with the portent of more re- lief to be given--8ir Alexander Mac- phail says: 'The modern hobby is dodging work and organized chari- ties and hospitals defend men from the results of their own folly"--this committee is agreed that it is bet- ter to provide work than to give charity. { i 1 PRODUCE MARKETS | GRAIN QUOTATIONS.
