needed now in my opinion lllan ever
before, when the War hostiIiries have
closed. and we have learnt more than
iZation. " .
Now. | wish to speak of the co-opcra
tive work of the various organizations
of the City Board of Charities, and
the Visiting Nurses Association. In
speaking of the work of the Nurses,
j do not wish to over look nj this
time. the splendid work which our
own " " has done This department
of work was established thru the gen.
erosity of the Bnai Birth. District
Grand Lodge. Which last year made an
appropriation to us of $4,000 for the
purpose of maintaining n visiting nurse
and housekeeper. The work our visit
ing nurse, Mrs. Garfinkcl. has done,
has been of very high standard.
Other organizations with whom we
have worked with have been the
Church COnvalescent Home and Den
YER Sheltering Home for Jewish chill
dren and the County hospital. and the
Big Brother committee.

two national organizations tliat this
society, us it exists today. has been
enabled to carry ON its splendid work.
The splendid work they have done in
taking cases upon the rccommenda tion
of the executive committee of this so

Gross, and recently their work
has been supplemented by Mr..
Milton Schayer. MIR. Leo Grammar.
Mr.. Morris Colicn, and Mr. David Har-

the problems.

operative organizations and commit
tees, but when you come right down
to the splendid work, which this so
ciety has done. during the last two
years of its existence, it might be said
that it Is due to the fact that we have
had Mrs. Ray s. David as supcrin-
tcndcnt.

this society now since its organization.

period and during its baby-hood. and
