The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-05-30
Hospital Activities.

The women of Owosso are busy In
securing Charter Members to the
Owosso Woman's Auxiliary. Those
women in Owosso joining their local
hospital association by Saturday, May
81, will constitute the Founders or
Charter Membership lists and will be
recorded as such in the permanent re-
cords of the organization. !.
Similar plans will be inaugurated
through all the county and vicinity.
Each community will wish Woman's
Auxiliary all their own. No place
will be too small. Each woman will
be privileged to join her own local
organization. She will be invited as
a member to assist in many ways in
cluding the improvement of general
and local health conditions; in aiding
her friends and neighbors when they
are in the hospital, and in assisting
the hospital work as needed.
With these similar organizations
throughout all of Shiawassee County
and vicinity there will be formed
band of women whose influence will
be felt, so that not only will the hos
pital be assisted, but health conditions
will be improved.
There will probably be invitations
exchanged between these sister organ
izations, so that each will be extend
ing invitations and also being enter
tanned. There will oe an accumula-
tive force in the work of these women,
for. each will strive in aiding the ohers,
and then there will be general meet
ings to which all of the women will be
invited. This is only one of the num-
erous plans for insuring the hospital
operating on highest attainable effec-
tive lines.
Each of these auxiliaries will have
their own constitution and bylaws.
They will elect their own officers; they
will collect and disperse their own
dues; and they will assist the hospital
in ways that are well within the pow
ers and abilities of their organization.
There are many suggestions and plans
as to what women can do. They will
make interesting stories for telling at
some future time.
In the meanwhile the women of each
vicinity are urged to commence plan
ming for the holding Of general meet
ings to be held in building that will
prove acceptable and to which all men
and women will be invited. Commits
sioner Loder will be pleased to attend
and speak at any meeting of this
character and also to render aid and
assistance if it is desired. Engage
ments are now being made for this
County work and it will prove most
interesting to observe the order in
which Committees formulate their
plans. An announcement of such work
will be made through the papers of the
county and in those papers that are
read by the people in this hospital
area.
An emphasis was put on the hospi-
tai being available for all persons of
Shiawassee County, irrespective of
their social or financial condition or of
their religious faith, by Commisslo.
Loder during his address before the
parents OF the scholars of the Brvar,
School at meeting called for Monday
afternoon.
Although this matter has been re-
peatedly stated in the columns of the
papers and by the hospital committee
and through various public utterances
by Mr.. Loder, yet there are some per-
sons in whose minds this fact is not
clear. Therefore to repeat this plan
is a hospital for all the people in this
hospital zone. It is for one and for
all, without regard as to whoy tbev
are, so lang as the condition of their
