HOSPITAL ACTIVITIES

West Haven holds a meeting on
Tuesday afternoon June "a, and every
one present decided on going ahead at
once and organizing an auxiliary for
the women of West Haven. They have
decided to organize and maintain their
own society in accordance with the
general plan as presented and dis
cussed in detail by Commissioner
Loder. They have determined on dues
of $1.OO per annum without any initia-
tion fee. But all who join by July 5,
will be REGISTERED as charter men,
bers of their organization, just as the
Owosso ladies did when starting their
work that eliminated so successfully.
They have made up list of fifty
women in their place whom they think
should become members of the West
Haven Women's Auxiliary of the
Memorial Hospital. They plan to see
every woman personally and try to
secure her membership on the Founder
basis, Mrs. William Kibby acted as
chairman of the meeting and will con-
tinue as temporary chairman. Mrs.
Iva Spinning was made chairman Of
the membership commitie. They ap-
pointed also subcommittee for the diff
ferent district and these will be in
charge of Mrs. Myra Horton, Mrs.
William McAvoy, and Mrs. Ruben
Weidman. When all have subscribed
then a meeting making nominations
for officers to draw up the constitu-
tion and bylaws and to organize the
work will be elected.
Henderson declares emphatically
through Mrs. M. w. Gardner for a
Womans Auxiliary in their place and
they are expecting to get plans under
way next week for a public meeting
to be addressed by Commissioner
Loder.
Durand plans large meeting for the
women of Durand in the interest Of
the County Hospital, for Wednesday
evening July 2, at 1880 o'clock at
the home of Mrs. Ray Patched on
Brand Street.
The preliminary arrangements for
this meeting were consummated at
conference on Tuesday afternoon,
June "a, that was attended by a COM
mittee of ladies from Owosso, and adj
dressed by Commissioner Loder.
These conferences and meetings
through the Shiawassee and other
counties afford opportunities for ex-
planning things in the minds of the
people in these places. There is a
value to the individual and to the peo-
pie in attending these meetings. The
addresses and the program are on
educational lines. 1t is information
about Hospitals in general and this
Hospital in particular. There are err
roneous impressions about some Of
this Hospital work and the best way
for learning what should be known is
through attending meetings. A per-
son may ask questions, for the meet
ings are informal. And there has not
been one meeting as yet, that has
failed in fully satisfying almost
everyone present, on the plans Tor the
Hospital being followed on right lines.
There are questions raised as to To-
cation, others as to size of the build
ing and kind of patients that should
be admitted, the financing of the
building and its maintainance, and in
fact any point that is not clear can be
put in question form. Those in charge
Of the meeting will try to satisfy the
one raising the question.
1t is the duty of every able person
to attend meetings convenient to thch
home, or to be present at a meeting in
their town town. If they cannot do
this they should try to attend meet
ing in some other place.
The hospital will be built by the p~s
pie and it will be for their use, ready
and available for them when needed
There are many things concerning this
Hospital and plans for the improve
ment Of health conditions that should
be known to every person. Therefore
