gave a report of the hospital work
foz• last year and Dr. Gandier gave
an address in which hes presented the
needs of the hospital, which at the
present time is more space. Every
available space has had to be utiliz-,
ed to set up beds, the nurses' quer-
ters have been curtailed, office and
waiting' rooms utilized and then pat-
ients have had to be turned away
during the past year. ``This," said
the speaker, "ie not serving the com-
munity as it should be served," An ele-
vator which is badly needed, cannot
be installed because it would take up
room which cannot be spared. He
highly commended the work of the
board and the hospital staff also the
'Xray work, as several compliments
had been received on the excellent
plates sent away for examination.
More student nurses were required,
he said and also ahother graduate
nurse should be employed. He said
that something would 'have to, be
done the conning autumn to provide
more space,
Mise Ann Stewart', Dr, Smillie and
Dr. Thompson each contributed a
sole during the evening and Miss
Lovett a reading. The program was
concluded by an organ number by
Miss Treleaven and prayer by Dr.
Dougan.
After the program an adjournment
was made to the lecture roost down-
stairs, when the board entertained
the graduating nurses and their
friends, the hospital staff, doctors
and ministers to a banquet. Mayor
Trewartha acted as toastmaster and
when the good things provided by the
hostesses had been enjoyed a lengthy
toast Iist was run through.
Toastmaster Trewartha spoke of
the effort made some years ago to
have one County Hospital, the county
to raise a certain sum of money each
year for its maintainence. But the
county council ;dud not favor the
echeme and he thought the several
community hospitals served much
better.
The toast to The king was reepon-
ded to by the singing of the National
Anthem. •
The toast to Canada was proposed
by Rev. Capt. IC. McGoon and re,

ty singing of Auld Lang Syne.
The banqueting tables were daint-
ily laid, the hospital colors, blue and
yellow, being used in decoration. One
lovely bouquet of blue and yellow
peonies was much admired, but it
was admitted that these had been
tampered with somewhat, they were
not just as nature made them. But
they were odd and also very pretty.
TOOK A LITTLE JAUNT
Fitzsimons' delivery horse caused
seine excitement the other day by
making a dash down the street,
dragging his tether tine and weight,
He ran foul of a couple of cars,
shook off the vehicle and a good bit
of his hampering harness, and finally
made a clash for his home barn.
A few breakages had to be mend-
ed here and there after the little ex-
citement but no very serious damage
was done.
A HELPFUL HAND
One never should grow too old to
be helpful. A citizen told The News -
Record the other day of a little in-
cident which he witnessed which il-
lustrates this fact. A well -know
citizen whose eyesight is very poor
was standing at the main corner,
which is an intersection of two much -
travelled highways and is often rath-
er difficult to cross even when eye-
sight is keen, when along came an-
other well-known citizen who can see
well but who counts his years well on
toward the century dark. He took
in the other's difficulty at a glance,
went up and spoke to him, then slip-
ping his arum through that of his
friend he guided him safely and
quickly arcoss to the other side, The
Scouts would no doubt vote this non-
agenarian a "Good Scout" He was
quick to see the need and ready to
perform the helpful act.
