Ways and means have to be framed for earning this money for we buy all our materials in our own city. Proud to Help There is no occasion IOI‘ nle to for the "Reports" will speak fcr themsewes-but as one unit we are proud to help m this great work. In May the National Order of the I.0.D.E. had their annual meeting in Saint John. As it is seldom there gatherings are so near, four of our members were able to go to these meetlngs. each one deirayinlz their own expenses. We had hoped tor a vlslt to this province of our Na- tional Regent. but just at the tlnle came the capituiation of King Leo- pold of Belgium. and soon after the "Surrender of France." As we hau no heart to welcome visitors, it was cancelled. ' During the summer, the province had a visit from the Governor- General. Lord Atllione, and his charming consort the Princess Alice. Apart from the formal gatheringsto welcome them, the “Royal Edward" and "Earl of I-Iilisborough" chap- ters were ilonored by a visit from H.R.H. Princess Alice. who inspect- ed the work on hand. She pro- nounced the knitting and wool of a high order. also spoke with approval of the work of both chapters fcr tile evacuated children. Duringil-r vislt the flower committee present- ed a bouquet of roses. During the year one of our oldest members. Mrs. Bagnall, a great worker in the last war, passed away. Through tribulation she had borne up bravely and death came as a re- lease from suffering. Many our members have been laid on beds of sickness this winter.
