legacies are indeed s. great help in our work and are greatly ap- preciated. they also remind us of the interest o! the donors in the work of our society.

The annual collection last year ivas, as usual, very satisfactory, and proves that. the Dispensary has not. only the sympathy but the , whole-hearted suPPOR of our ¢it.l_ I ZEIlS.

i Ac Christmas time the annual ftreat was given to the children, i and “'11s. as usual. successfully sup- i ervlsird bv the ladies of the litxecu- i tire and some of their friends.

more unfortunate, so the average remains unchanEed, and day by day a steady stream of people flpw into the office. and we give medi- Cllle. have prescriptions filled, or hell) them in any way we can to ease the burden of sickness and want.

The war which ts causing untold misery and heartbreak in Europe. has scarcely begun to be felt in our quiet. little Island, but already some who have been helped by this So- ciety‘, have enlisted. They are anxl. ous to serve their country we are sure, and happy t0 be able to pro- vide for their families, long lug- fer-era from unemployment. A sol. dlers allowance of $79.00 a month, for a wife and two children looks like a large sum, butin almost every case the back bills are many, rent, groceries, clothing and shoes must, be provided for, and the money seems to melt away. After two or three months the thrifty ones can manage to save a little. but there are those who will not even try to be careful and so will never be much better off. Some of the sol- diers wives have bought small kitchen ranges on the instalment plan, and no doubt other needs will be filled through time, and some families at least be more comfortable than for years. One of the greatest needs in our town, as has often been said before, is for decent houses at low rental. Where can a poor man turn when, with his family, he has to leave a con- demned house? ‘fir-ere are many such cases, and little relief is in sight.

As in previous years, every ef-

fort has been made to keep in touch with the homes. 587 visits have been made ar.

through the

1210 orders for drugs given, in- cluding doctors prescriptions.

210 orders for necessary food sup- plies and nourishment for the sick, and 19 orders for coal supplied. The Dr. Jenkins Coal Fund was not really sufficient to meet . demand. As you know, the late Dr. S. R. Jenkins generously left $25.00 a year to start this Fund. which formerly grew to fairly large proportions. Of late years. unfor- tunately there have been few ad- clitional donors, and this year we only had $35.00 to spend. Giving cut 1-2 ton here, 1-4 ton there, even a bag or two somewhere else our money was soon gone. rind our coal bill mountcd to $75.00 before we knew, but the coal had to be sup- plted. Here is a case in point. Onc cold morning. your worker found a family (not on relief) sitting a- round the kitchen stove burning pzeces of boxes to keep thcm warm. For three ivezks we were told they had no coal, and the last they had. the Dispensrlr had supplied. ‘They didn't want o ask for more as they knew WC had so little, and they did not know whore they coud get any. Necdl-vss to say, n few bags were sent thcm at once. Just here we woufrl like to thank A Plckard dz 00., who generously donated the coal uscd in heating our office, also Mrs <Dr.)‘Dewar who before leaving to spend the iwinter in the South. gave a gen- erous ordcr of coal to supply three old people. Mrs. Kemieth Richards too, did not forget us and her gm- eroslty besides sending a cheque for $30.00 has enabled us to supply two families of children with two quarts of milk daily the year around. When the father of one of these families enlisted. rind there was more money to meet their needs. one of these orders was transferred to a little girl ill through the win- fer. Thus we prevent overlapping and see that our supplies go as far as ossible. We also give a quart of mil a day to a former sana-torium patient who had lost. thirty-seven pounds from lack of proper nour- lshment.

in the children was again shown at our Annual Christmas treat which was held the afternoon before Christmas. with our President and the Ladies of the executive assist- ing. Every year we look forward ‘to the Co-operatio s of our friends at this time. and ave never been disappointed. We know that this part of our work undoubtedly Vhelps to make the Christmas Bee- son a brighter one for man people, .than it could possibly be o herwlse, ‘and donations from the Rotary Club. Male Chorus and Ladies Chorus, Catholic Women's League, H. Y. Grads, Merchants and citi- izerns made the past Christmas a merry one for the children. After ithey received their gifts. food was given to deserving ones who came iwlth their baskets and in the eva- inlng we sent our boxes well filled with a full dinner as well as other good things. Usually we plan to fill a few extra boxes for the tn- variable last minute calls. and these calls come in such ways as the following.

On Christmas Eve, two young men investigated a case of which they had heard. They found a smell family in vim-etched circumstances. the mother lll and incapable of coring for herself. much less pro- viding anything in the way of Christmas cheer. The young men ,came to the Dispensary to ask if at such a late hour we could man- age to send a dinner to this fam- ilv which we did. After Christmas the Health Officer was called to the home and ordered that the moth- er be taken to the Hospital where she spent some reeks. Now with help from us and o family is more comfortably situat- ed, and is getting a little more out of life than before.
