Sister Sylvia Nksic and bro John Vrbos reported that
the accounts assigned to them found in good order
however the expenditures the Chdrens Home for the
July to December 1856 period rather excessive. AL
though do not wish to appear too critical still
aware of duty to the entire CFU membership and find
ourselves confronted with the task of mentioning bills
which we found that of luxurious nature others
which may be an improvement to the Chdrens Home but
were rather expensive.
The question in minds is this: With the Chill
drens Home funds at all time low is this the time to
make installations of expensive equipment? We will
grant that the buildings and equipment DID, but feel
that expenditures in these crucial times should be made
only OH that which is of extreme necessity and not be-
there commodities the market.

free Polio injections paid $1O8OO for SO injections and
in addition purchased 60 and D Polio Syringes.
