A notable feature of the board of officers elected for this year is the fact that of the twelve men elécted to office only three are vetâ€" erans of World War I, the remainâ€" ing nine being veterans of World War IIâ€"and one of them a veteran of both wars. This is in line with the expressed wish and intentions of those members, veterans of World War I, who "carried on‘ so unselfishly and untirin?ly, their good work on the home front durâ€" ing the late war, to give the young veteran every oPportunh.K to "take over the reins" while they stand aside prepared to assist with their support and advice and the benefit of their Jong experience, and the young veteran is demonstrating his | willingness to assume this respon-‘ sibility while having a proper reâ€" gard for the past service and exâ€" perience of the "old stager." _ _ q.n'.cmbonuunst.onm night, January 4th. e tere aneigs peipariig up members ore a e gi memi m]:;h the Tl.;xion and the Luixh'u‘ ary.

As result of the visits durin%,the recent Christmas season we have received several unsolicited letters of appreciation from the patients, some of which are fiiven here in part, and which, we hope, you will spare a moment to read.
