1t is a matter much to be regretted that
any misconception should arise, as we un-
derstand it has, in regard to the expendi-
ture of the funds of our Waldo County
/ Chapter, A R. c. We wish to correct
such an impression by stating that Belfast
uses for the support of its Public Health
Nurse and for other distinctly local works
only such money as has been raised II
Belfast We should have no more right
to use any part of the general funds fol
loca! purposes than any Branch woulC
have to use fer itself the money collected
by some other Branch. All Branch money
that goes through the Chapter treasury
goes for national work. One who knows
anything of the financial workings Of the
an account must be rendered of ever,
cent collected or spent; and how dlfficuI
it would be to divert the funds from thel
proper channel even should one be so dis
posed.
