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.

A reading by Mrs. R. ,Sav'auge in

,As in a dream she heard her pastor,
"I am the resurrection and the life."
Drays passed into' weeks, and the
weeks into months. Mrs, Grant 'was
much missed in the IW.MJS. Auxil-
