THE PRESIDENTS REPORT,
10 the Members of the Women's Hospi-
tai Aid:
On retiring as president of your Aid,
want to thank you for the kind support
you have ever been ready to extend to
me during the year l have served as your
president. l want to thank the vice
| president, secretary and treasurer for
| their untiring efforts and the interest
| they have shown. | have found them al
ways ready and willing to give advice
and lend helping hand. l wish to thank
all who may in any way have aided the
Hospital through US, during my term
OF service, especially the Supt., Miss
Ruth Coombs, who in every way has
served US so faithfully, ever watchful
over the sick and suffering ones under
her care, that everything possible might
be done for their comfort.
think the people realize now, as they
never have before, how much we need
the Hospital. We fully realize what it
meant during the month of October when
many were stricken down, some without
home or friends to administer to their
many wants, that they could 60 to the
Hospital and have the care they so much
needed 1t is, therefore, the duty of the
people to have an interest and help such
worthy institution.
The past year has been very hard for
US all, and we were unable to do all that
we would like to have done, but | am
pleased with what we have done for the
Hospital, as will be shown in the secre-
tary and treasurer's report. Hope urges
us on, and tells US that tomorrow will be
better. So let US hope that the coming
year may be a prosperous one to the Aid
and what we were unable to accomplish
last year may be done this coming year.
Respectfully,
MRS. ELMER SMALL, President.
THE SECRETARY'S REPORT.
To the President and Members of the
the Woman's Hospital Aid:
We present to you herewith brief &C
count of the doings of the society for the
past year, which has been great help to
the much needed institution, the Waldo
County Hospital.
During the epidemic of influenza our
President Mrs. Elmer Small, stood ever
ready to see that plenty of sheets and
pillow slips and OF her necessary articles
were supplied and everything possible
done to aid the Supt., Miss Ruth Coombs,
who so ably managed things and worked
so untiringly. Our little Hospital was
appreciated more than ever by the public
at that time.
Donation week proved successful as
usual and many necessary things were
given at this time.
The club refurnished the reception
room.
The Aid has Just finished two quilts
for the nurses beds and others have been
given by friends.
We feel that every member who has
visited the Hospital the past year has a
personal interest in it, allowing naught to
interfere with right and duty and believ-
ing sincerely that we are necessary ad-
iunct to help relieve the pain and suffer-
ing of the many unfortunate ones who
rely upon a place of this kind to give
them aid. This is only helping in small
way, when we consider the time given
by the many physicians on the staff of
the Hospital.
Respectfully submitted.
