Hospital day, Nov. l., was sue
cess. Although not as many visitors
were present as usual to inspect the
building, the donations We're larger in
many ways.
During February and March service
the capacity of the hospital for re-
eeption of patients was strained to its
utmost. Patients were placed in the
reeeption room, corridors ard all
available cots and beds were utilized.
The report of the district nursing
shows that the Work OF this depart
ment has increased during the past
year. Seven hundred and tWenty-siX
calls have been made, % of which
were out of town calls. This number
has extended into the homes of 60 dif-
ferent families. A great many OF inc
patients visited. this year. have been
very i'll and needed more than the or
binary attention and time of Il nurse.
The calls We're widely apart in the
homo territory besides visiting Hal
lowell, Gardiner and Randolph.
The Ladies Hospital Aid has replen-
ished the loan closet during the past
year TO a great amount The Young We-
mems League and the Claiming Guild
has added slips, gowns. napkins. petit
coats, etc, to this department and fund
of $3.50. through the generosity of Mrs.
Davies of Portland, has been placed in
the bank, the interest of which is to be
used in the District Nurse cause. The
receipts from this branch of the work
was s3l55 and the expenditures S2S.S7,
leaving a balance of $2.6S.
Mrs. Hayden, in addition to her re-
ports as superintendent of nurses and in
regard to the district nursing work pre-
scented her report as superintendent, but
the salient features of that are contained
in the directors report.
