TO 'OHGAINIZ'E A HOSPITAL' AUXILIARY -Many •women in,Seafnrth are hoping to organize a Women's Auxiliary or ,Aid to the Scott 'Memorial 'Hospital. iHospitai aids are doing splendid work in almost all towns that can boast ,of a hospital. ,Seaforth certainly has a hospital 'bo be proud of. Its doors are open to all needing its skilled medical, surgical and nursing: care. Life is very uncertain; we cannot tell how 'soon t'he day noay conn 'that we will be glad to avail ourselves of its services,. An atixilia'ry is certainly' needed to help keep the .equipnen't up to the high standard that ,has so fare been main'tain'ed. The Auxiliary would work entirely separate from the Hos- pital Board 'but 'altways'in friendly bar, many with the Board, the (medical faculty and the Su'perinten'dent. For the last sixty-four years volun- tary women workers 'have .played a large part in Ontario in assisting hos- pital boards and superinten'dents to build up and maintain a service in their commu'ni'ty for the care of the sick and suffering, making also a splendid contact between the hospital an'd the comam'unity, strengthening the 'bonds o'f sympalthy 'for the needs of the hospital and a better understand- ing of all that pertains to hospital `,ad- ministration, 'T'here are 45 affiliated aid's in Ontario with membership varying from '2600 to only 112 in some small towns. On !Wednesday, February 8th, at 7.30 p.m., in the !Carnegie Ball, a meeting will be ,held and every woman interested in organizing an auxiliary is earnestly asked to be there. W.I.
