PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

Fbliowillll is the tent of the ed- dress by President H. T. Holman.

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

“Tune film! Another year has run its course and we have again gathered together to e end felici- tations and congratulations to our Braduating nurses. This year Mis- ses Helen Catherine Rogers, Vivian Mae Paynter. Adric Margaret Campbell, Verna Mary Griflin have finished their courses and are re- ceiving their diplomas. It is un- dflllbiiedly a happy evening for them and I am sure we all join in wishing them every success end much happiness irrthe year's“ to come.

‘ feel rather like celebrating myself this_eyening for, if I have not miscalculated. I come of age. TWBh-iy one years the honor of be- lllil appointed President of the Prince County Hospital has been extended to me and for that per- iod the pleasure and sometimes the pain 0f helping to administer to that Institution has been mine.

‘There comes a time in the lives of all of us when it is a pleasure 0r a satisfaction to look into the past. This applies to even a no“. er extent to our Institution. To the T151118 Beneration it may be of interest to know that the Hospital was started in 1910, was Qfllglglly Opened on August 1 A012, and m- ceived its first patient on Bepjem. ber 23rd of the some year. The Institution is under a deep debt of gratitude to Miss G. B. Beattle, who gave it of her Wisdom and her elqmrience to get it started with a system thert has stood us in steed until the present day. For the first four months of that year the troubles and tribulations of 54 patients were administered to. with a total earning of 8700.00. The re- latinl of these facts will enable you to realize the extent of the progress that has been made since

were free. which is rather a. differ- ent story than the one we read from today's records.

"Miss Annie E. Pillman has the distinction oi being the first Pro- bstioner to enter the Hospital and was yery shortly followed by Miss Annie B. Muttart and Miss Mabel A. Gorman. These young ladies finished their courses and received their diplomas in i915. Since that

The downs have been very minor ones but the ups have been outstanding. Its progress has been steadily onward and every year the number of patients served has been increasing until at the present time its capacity is taxed to the utmost. “During the period under review icism and we raise. criticism has been just snd in addition con- structivs and we have made every effort. to profit by it.

“It has not been an easy year from whatever way you may view it. As I stated a moment ago the Hos- pital has been almost continuously crowded. which naturally makes difficulties in administration, The economic condition of our province and particularly of our County is not as healthy as we have seen it in the past and is reflected to a very material extent in our finan- ces. It has been difficult indeed to make ends meet and were it not for the great generosity displayed by our citizens and some sections of our County, our position would be far from inspiring.

“I am glad indeed at this time to extend to the young ladies of tlhe Okto Club the thanks and appreciation of the Trustees for the enthusiastic manner in which they carried on their campaign and the success they attained in it. A very appreciable amount of money was collected and a great many yearly pledges were received. which will be of continuous benefit to the Hospital.

"I would like to remind you, one and all, that our annual meeting will be held in the Town Hall on the third Tuesday in June and I hope a great many of you will be present for at that time you will hear in far greater detail the man- ner in which the finances and the Hospital in general are administ- ered. The followlng are a few fis- ures taken from last year's report. which will Rive you an idea of the extent of the Hospital's activities.

Our expenditures for meat and fish were $1,560.31: butter,mi1k and eggs, $1782.72; bread, $595.45; gro- ceries, $3600.82; drugs. $4,808.05; bedding, $055.38: kitchen. soap. dishes, etc., $359.08; X-ruy supplies $967.95; laboratory supplies, $549.50 light, fuel and water. $2,986.68: laundry. $2,178.16; salaries and wages, $731153; Insurance, $490.57: general repairs, $1,518.78; sundries. $336.38: interest. $34.35: and other items, making a total of $303-$110

"Statistics are generally tiresome but I um nevertheless going to have the temerity to submit a few as I feel they are pertinent to the occasion. The Great War killed slightly more than 60.000 Canad- ians. In a like period. disease 1n this country accounted for 400,000 deaths. About 100.000 or so of our countrymen were disabled by the war. but in any single year about 200,000 Canadians are continuously disabled through sickness and dis- ease. Medical science declares that about half of all disabling diseases are preventable and one third oi all deaths pcstponable. Hence 100.- 000 citizens of Canada are unnec- essarily disabled yearly and 30.000 die before their time. It is estim- ated that about 2% of our popu- lation are too sick to work and that about 31,000,000 working days were lost by sick adults. These are stupendous figures and I feel inclined to leave them alone to speak for themsel , Willi‘- the way. however. for action and that. is, prevention rather than cure. “An ounce of the former is worth a pound of the latter" is an old adage that applies even m0" strongly today than when it was first coined. Al; the present time Canadians spend 8300000000 a year on cures but only about $6.- 000,000.00 on preventions and now I think I'll leave it with the say- ing that ‘A word to the wise is sufficient.’

"The Hospital for the last few years has been laboring under fln- ancial difficulties due to the very material increase in the number of our free patients, and the appar- ent inability of an increased num- ber to bay their bills. 'I‘hls con- dltion is iaclnll hospitals the world over and is a problem they are e11

endeavouring to solve. Hospitl-Ill- ation is no problem for the well- to-do or to the very poor. The former are able to pay and the 10t- ter can take advantage oi the Hos- pital's free service. 1t is the mul- titude of persons who come be- tween these two classes that finds sickness a financial burden almost

beyond their means to . ‘Many plans have been armrest- ed and some of them put in oper- ation but the one that seems ‘to enjoy the greatest known as group hospitalization. This scheme is being adopted in a at many of the hospitals in the nited States. Canada and Great Britain. I noticed recently that Australia had taken it up.

utors. Both of these gentlemen have always had the best interests of the Hospital at heart and their ROCd counsel and constructive ad- vice will be soreiy missed. They both gave of their wealth and their giving made the operation of the Hospital distinctly easier. The Trus- tees take this opportunity of ex- pressing their regrets and grief that they are no longer with us.

"In closing my remarks I wish to extend to all those who have contributed to the Hospital the ap- preciation and thanks of the Trustees. We are living on the borderland of making receipts and expenditures meet and it is main- iy due to the generosity of the residents of the County that we are able to make a comparatively satisfactory financial showing.

"We have no hesitancy in solic- iting these contributions for we feel they are being expended to make life safer, surer and more pleasant for all of us. We know not when we may be stricken and it is a comfort and_ a satisfaction to know that we have at our door an Institution that ls capable of giving us the best oi medical and surgical attention. The efllclency our Hospital, however. must be kept up. Every day something new is being discovered and put on the market. Sometimes these additions are inellverlsive but more often costly. Be they dear or cheap. they must be acquired for we have no intention of letting our Hospi- tal slio. We are unanimous in this regard and we are sure we have the whoiehearted support of our Prince County residents in this policy. "Expenditures of this kind are undoubtedly a drain on our finan- ces and I again make a plea for your financial assistance. Charity makes enormous inroads upon our resources. That. however. is un- avoidable and must be given freely for that is the democratic prin- ciple upon which this organization is built. Under that head also I ask for your support. We have made these requests in the past and we have not been disappointed in your response. I make them again and I feel‘ you will not be found wanting."
