MEETING OF THE HOSPlTA!
BOARD

The hospital board and the wo-
mans auxiliary board held an inter
esting meeting Friday morning at
nine O'Clock at the home of Mrs. Clar-
ence Camp, president of the auxil-
larry. There was large attendance,
showing the great interest that the
members feel in the hospital.
The principal matter discussed at
this meeting was the resignation of
Mrs. Camp as president of the auXp-
larry. The board refused to accept
Mrs. Camps resignation, and after a
discussion of the matter resolution
was offered by Mr.. Munroe, president
of the Hospital Association, giving
Mrs. Camp a six months relief from
the duties of this office, the duties
of the same to be conducted by the
vice president, Mrs. D. S. Woodrow.
At the end of six months it is hoped
that Mrs. Camp, who has made such
magnificent president, can be pre-
vailed upon to reconsider her deter
mination to resign.
This resolution was passed unani-
mously, and Mrs. Camp was bedecked
with many encomiums for the very
capable and splendid way in which
she has conducted her office.
Mrs. Camp thanked the members of
the board for the loyal support they
have given her. Everyone has work
ed in perfect harmony and the work
of securing and furnishing the char
ity ward has gone along without a
hitch or any unpleasantness, and
the work has been thoroughly salts
factory.
Mrs. ]. E. Chace, Mrs. J. NJ. Meffert
and Mrs. c. l.. Anderson were ap-
pointed a committee to look into and
report on the charity cases for the
next three months.
Mr.. Munroe stated that he thinks
that there is now a better feeling and
more complete understanding among
the public generally concerning the
hospital and it's work.
Miss Marshall, the superintendent
of the hospital, is proving herself
very splendid and capable person for
the position and everyone connected
with the hospital is most devoted to
her, and Miss Marshall to her work,
as is evidenced by the fact of her hav-
ing recently refused a more remu-
nerative offer to go elsewhere.
A charity bridge and dance will be
given shortly at the Ocala House by
the Hospital Association, the pro-
ceeds to go towards painting the hos
pital. The auxiliary board will assist
in making this entertainment a sue
cess.
The following greatly appreciated
letter written by Mr.. j. d. Rooney to!
Mrs. Ed Carmichael shortly after the
tea, given by the woman's auxiliary
in the charity ward, was read by the
secretary, Mrs. J. R. Dewey. Mr..
Rooney's letter accompanied a gift
to the charity ward, and was couched
in the following language:
Ocala, Fla, Apr 22nd, 1914.
Mrs. c. Carmichael
To you personally, and the other
ladies collectively.
God, in the beginning, after having
made man, realized there was some
thing lacking; the entire setting of
all his plans lacked harmony, and
did not exhale that delight and fra
GRANGE anticipated. Looking down
the corridors of time he realized that
a jewel was needed to complete the
circle; hence he made the best gift
woman.
All through the past she has been
the guiding star, the magnetism, the
1dealistic personality of all that is
pure and good, the mother of our Sa-
vior, the sunshine of home, the bear
er of all that is noble, lofty and grand.
Today we bow in honor of Ocala's
splendid women, who have proven
themselves a noble band, and who
have brought order out of chaos and
have given to our city such a wonder
full and elegantly equipped charity
ward to our hospital
You have done your work well. May
Heavens choicest blessings ever be
allotted to each of you, and, at last,
a beautiful ending. A welcome plau-
dit: CAS- much as We have done it to
the least of these We have done it un-
to me: enter now into the joys of thy
Lord"
