AT A1L lALF F1OlNA LlVll llNL, vention held in Boston this year and returned with a glowing &C., count of the work accomplished during this convention.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Nordling was the Units choice for the Presidency for 1881, and under her able and en- thusiastic direction the regular work of the Auxiliary was carried out most successfully The Child Clinic was continued through this year, with even more notable suc- cess than that of the year before. Other work also was carried out with Outstanding success, and a greatly increased membership and progress in all undertakings testi- fled to the renewed enthusiasm and interest members were showing in the Units work.
 This year the unit transferred it's support from the hospital at Ameri- can Lake to the hospital at Walla Walla, the latter being the place where Alaska's own veterans were being cared for. Carrying out the idea expressed in the child clinic, the auxiliary this year sponsored baby show at the Southeastern Alaska Fair, and prizes were award ed in two groups one to white ba- bies and one to native babies. This proved to be delightful innovation and attracted wide attention from 1 those attending.
 The Auxiliary was also honored this year by visit from Mrs. Beth Laubaugh, National Y ice President, from Montana, who spent several days in Juneau during the summer Mrs. Laubaugh was entertained at several events during her stay in Juneau, and members of the Aux Hilary thoroughly enjoyed the privil- ege of meeting her.
 Electric Range
 The Units contribution to the Dugout this year was the electric range which replaced the old coal range, and has been a source of great satisfaction at the various so- cial meetings, and dinners gwen by the Auxiliary and the Legion. Eight delegates were selected to attend the Department convention held in Pet ersburg in September, and a fine delegation attended, and succeeded in putting the local unit on the man in no uncertain manner.
 Mrs. Esther Seelye, became the Unit President in 1882, and contin- ued the excellent work which had gained such impetus under the leadership of the previous Presi- dents. The Auxiliary this year made substantial contribution toward the furnishing of room in Persh- ing Hall, a memorial to World War veterans, in Paris. This fund was for the purpose of furnishings and endoWlng a room, where the English language would be taught to the children of American veterans liv- ing in Paris.
 The unit was honored this year in having one of it's most active members, Mrs. Edith Sheelor elect ed to the office of Department Pres ident of the Auxiliary.
 A special piece of worthy work this year done by the Auxiliary was It's payment of the fare to Seattle. for a local veteran who was with cut funds, and seriously in need of hospitaliza tion. A contribution of thirty dollars was made this year to the Christmas fund of the vet erans at the Walla Walla Hospital
