A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS

Now and then we sacrifice a new car saii because we will not allow an exces- l sive price for a used ear. [We do this for the protec~ tlon of our patrons. If we pald Smith to much, we would have to get it back from Jones. But that would be unfair-and we believe in fairness, even if it hurts.

It will be observed that this is a public meeting of the contribu- tors to the Hospital. The contribu- tors are scattered all over the pro vince and especially all over Queens nud Kings Counties. The invitation is to all of these and it is mot only their privilege but their duty to be present. It is hoped therefore that there shall be a large and representative attend- ance.

The Prince Eldward island llospi- tai has ‘been somewhat in the lime light during the past few months. Mfllly 0f the contributors content themselves with handing in their annual contribution and leaving the conduct of the institution to the Trustees. Yet, if matters do not go smoothly, if methods adopt- ed by the Trustees do not with general approval, there is cri- ‘ticlsm, often uninformed criticism, and much harm may accrue to the institution.
