Work of Year Shows Great Enthusiasm 0n Part of Workers, Ladies Auxiliary Has ' Most Successful Y ear.

t REVIEW 0F THE WORK OF 1927‘

The beginning of the year found1 thc members of the Trustee Boardl looking forward hopefully to the l future. These hopes were increas-1 ed when early in January We were able to pay off the remaining Mort- 1 guge on the farm of $1,000.00 andl deposit of land, which we still hold, in the: safety box of the Bank. 1

During February, Miss E. L. Bceis was appointed Nurse in Charge of the Home, and tho decided improve- ment in the working of the ln-siii- ution has certainly fully justifiedl the appointment. Each depart- ment is being run smoothly and ef- iicicntly.

1n May the annual meeting was held; the attendance was not. as large as might be expected, but alll present showed keen interest in thc- work. '

At this meeting wc wore _sorry to losc front our Board, Col. D. A. MacKillnoil, Chairman; Mr. A. J. Houle. and Mrs. Maynard McDon- ald Montague. In the usual man- ner of election their places were taken by Rev. G. T. Spriggs, Keri- sington; Capt. T. G. Taylor, City. and Mrs. Mort. McLean, Montague.

About this time also we received the resignations of Mr. L. D. Mur- ray and Mr. George D. DeBlois. 011d we were most fortunate in securing Rev. Ross C. Eaton and Mr. John T

McKenzie to fill these vacancies."

We trust the annual meeting will be pleased to confirm those appolnm

N0 Need 0f Any Such Office, Says -- ‘ Sir George Perley

OTTAWA, June l-There was no j need for thc creation of any suchl office as that of Financial Controll- er in the Department of the High Commissioner in London declared Sir Geo. Perley (Conservative, Ar- gentuili, in the House of Commons today. Sir Geo. referred to the statement of the Prime Minister yesterday which was to the effect that the government was consider- ing the appointment of such an of- ficer. The High Commissioner's of- fice, (icclared Sir George". was simp- ly a spending office. During the war it had had a good deal to do with many large financial questions _ and the High Commissioner had had to discuss these and settle them with the British treasury and the wal- officc. The High Commissioner had attended to them. without the assls-- tance of an offlce staff throughout the war. Sir George expressed ap- preciation for thc faithful services given by thc personnel of the High

The children always appeared well dressed and properly fed. The food is excellent aiid every article of dict needed to supply the physical re-

The large number of infants ad- mitted to the institution resulted in the staff having to provide nursery $120.00 in one of the large dormitor- ies. Six bottle fed habit-s at one time. fed at three-hour intervals cn- tailcd u large amount ‘of work on thc part of the nursery staff. 1t would not be possible to admit these babies if there were not a medical- ly trained person in the Home to supervise their feeding and care.

The general health of thc child- rcn has been excellent. There has been no outbreak of infectious dis- ease and no case of serious illness. Four children were operated upon in the Pringe Edward Island Hos- pital duriilg the year. They all

As tisual, the early part of thc year is thc story of a struggh against dwindling finances and when mid-summer came. it was no- ccssary to ask the banks to carry us.

In previous years the nntillul maintenance collection was con- ducted tiirctlgh channels other than thc Clergy, but this year we ap- pealed particularly to thcsc and the collection reached a figure ncvcr before attained.

When the explosion occurred we were compelled to redouble our cl‘- forts. At this time. Col. D. A. Mac- Kinnon was instrumental in open- ing the Emergency Appeal whicil almost offset the accident.
