1he Secretary>s Report
To the President and Members of the
Woman's Hospital Aid:
/ 1t is pleasure to report the progress
of our Aid this past year. We have 90
members and many outside friends who
have gladly given of their time, strength
and money.
Through the efforts of our President
the entire interior of the hospital has
been redecorated and new furniture
placed where needed also new dishes and
bedding. At the present time it is in a
| first-class condition with up to-date op-
Grating and sterillzng rooms and a well
equipped laundry.
In February dance was given in the
| Armory clearing about 5000
Several card parties have been held
at the homes of different members which
We're very successful.
A midsummer fair and dance netted
, us over 5000.
Donation week, inaugurated in 1909,
still proves great help to the hospital
for the gifts come from thoughtful and
loving friends and prove not only useful
but encourage us in the work we are try
ing to do.
The society wishes to thank the public
for its continued interest in the hospi-
tails needs and for its generosity in send
ing gifts, especially at THANKSGIVING and
Christmas time.
We are to be congratulated upon the
efficiency and superior quality of charac-
ter of the Supt., Miss Alice Wescott, and
the special interest she shows in her CORPS
of student nurses at all times.
The work of our president, Mrs Cecil
Clay, has not only shown wonderful bill
lty and good viii but an effort to make
the Waldo County General Hospital one
that we may all be proud of and to say
that we are interested in.
Never before has there been so much
help from friends who have at sometime
lived in Belfast. Never before has there
been so much need of help, for during the
war, like all institutions of it's kind, it
was not kept in as good repair as we
would like.
Not only has our president been sue
cessful in raising the large amount of
money needed to repair the hospital, but
she has given of her time and opened her
home for meetings and the regular busi-
ness meetings of the Aid and for mending
and making new quilts. We owe much
to our able and efficient president and we
have amended our bylaws so that she
may continue her good work.
Respectfully submitted,

subject matter of the address was woven
around the words of Lincoln, 'No State
is safe which does not secure the safety
of the property of its citizens" It was
not long talk, but every minute of it
was crowded with the presentation of in
