annual ,rna report of the secretary and
treasurer for the year 1929 tells us
OF a successful and prosperous voar
Tor the Ladies' Aid. We have every
reason to feel that our good work
Is still growing. WIZ ~
me usual number of meetings have
oeen held with the average attend
ance. Our officers and committees
nave been most faithful, in their ef-
!orts 10 forward all our undertake
lngs. A matter of the greatest con-
graduation to all concerned, is that
tl,s year we have realized our long
Liked OF scheme of giving to the new
wing of the hospital some worth.
while gift: AT the May meeting it
was voted to appropriate a sum of
! money with which to roof, screen
ana glass the unfinished porch of the

the walls.

operation as well as to the generos-

Friday, Octe 10. our yearly Hospital
| Day was observed. Many friends of
the institution came and brought
| gifts, including money. preserves,
1ellies, apples, vegetables and gro
ceries. All of the guests visited the
sun parlor and all were most enthu-

aodltlon TO the hospital equipment.

sources for the year S2.QSO.71
Cash paid out .. 2,161.0O
We have paid for the sun parlor
and all usual expenses and only
| drawn on last years balance $SO.29.
Three hundred and twenty-five per-
sons have paid annual subscriptions
as against 312 persons last year. We
can make it 500 with little individ-
ual effort.
To many of us. who have been in
terested in the life at the hospital
| since it was founded, has come the
experience of seeing year by year.
some of our faithful workers pass on
to the higher life. But the past year
our hearts have been doubly sad
dened by the death of Mrs. Ella Pen
ney. for many years chairman Of the
visiting committee, and the death OF
Mrs. Olive Penney. our faithful treas
urer.
| May the harmony ami ready CO.
operation which has characterized
the work of the Ladies' Hospital Aid
in the past, continue the coming
year, all being animated by the de-
sire to give their best to the noble
and worthy work.
