Rus- sell, of Seaforth, reported that $3,524 had +been contributed• to the general fund, an increase of $144 over Inst year. The allocation was. $3,300. The objective for 1948 was an increase in givings„ and the re- sult of the effort made by each auxiliary called for a general thanksgiving. Mrs. D. J. Lane, of Clinton, girls' work secretary, gave a splendid report of the work of the Canadian 'Girls in Training, Goderich has three groups, with forty-five mem- bers; Seaforth, one group with seventeen members, and expects to form another group in the near future.

OF 'THE OPERATION OF SCOTT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL This is the third in a series of factual articles dealing with Scott Memorial Hospital. At this time of writing the Board has been well organized -each committee is headed by an able and qualified Chairman. At the first general meeting each member of the Board was handed detailed information regarding the internal work- ings of the Hospital. Utmost frankness will be the rule at meetings of the Board and has been proven necessary if the roots of any trouble are to be reached. The new Committee Chairmen have been given full authority to deal with any problem in their par- ticular scope. Greater demands will be made on these, new chairmen; detailed reports will be required from them at the monthly Board meet- ings. The Board will make a tour of the Hospital preceding each meeting, in order to completely familiarize themselves with it. Arrangements have been made with the Matron, Miss Grinyer, to have women's organizations„ such as Church and institute, tour the Hospital as a means of becoming better acquainted with its functioning. It 1* a real experience to pass through the new wing and view its panorama of colour, and it- is certainly the duty of every public spirited citizen to know the facts about such an organization as the hospital in his midst. Accounts are always a headache to any hos- pital. In Seaforth, even during this last year, thousands of dollars were involved. While we do not forecast drastic action, a more business- like system of collecting accounts will have to be set up. In city hospitals, patients are asked to pay in advance; accounts are rendered week- ly, eekly, and arrangements for paying the final account must be made before the patient leaves the hos- pital. We urge everyone to re -cheek his hos- pitalization ospitalization plan. A report concerning these plans is pending along with the financial report. This week arrangements are being made to hold a meeting with the medical men of this dis- trict. We are confident .of reaching a better understanding with them at that time. If you would like to have a copy of the pamph- let of Hospital information, or if you have an enquiry or complaint, you are requested to get in touch with Miss Grinyer, or Mrs. J. B. Russell, Chairman of the House Committee. W. H: FINNIGAN, Chairman of the Board. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 1949 W, H. FINNIGAN, Chairman. A, Y. MCLEAN, Acting -Secretary J. M. Scott Charles P.

Forty-one lettere were written, ,renmovals Were re- ported, and: twenty-four 'became connected with the church through the interest shown by this depart- ment. epart ment. Flowers' and • 'treats of various kinds' were given to the shut-ins, and were greatly appreci- ated. The report of the supply secret tary, Mrs. C, Cutt, of Goderich, was, read, showing that a fine contribu- tion ontri ution of baby clothes, quilts and other clothing had been sent to Rev. M. Fesenko,, of Toronto, and several cartons of good used cloth- ing were sent to the headquarters' for Canadian relief abroad in To- ronto. The value of supplies was $75.80, and $130 was contributed in cash to the supply fund. At the conclusion of the morning session, an excellent lunch was served by the Clinton ladies and an opportunity was given to "visit the literature table. conioletet Afternoon Session At the afternoon session the re- cording secretary gave her report. Some auxiliaries reported an in- crease in membership, others a de- crease, and two reported no change, with the result that there was an active membership of 3,69, the same as last year. Auburn celebrated their sixtieth anniversary, Exeter their fiftieth anniversary during the year. In- teresting meetings were held, and the study book, "Our Commission," provided fine programs, with re- ports of Presbyterial and Synodi- cal meetings. guest speakers for thank -offering meetings and musi- cal numbers to complete a suc- cessful year. Study books were provided for C.G.I.T. groups and Mission Bands, with increased interest shown by the members in this work. The ac- tivities include hospitai. visiting, work in connection with Canadian relief abroad, making quilts and clothing for the supply work of the W.M.S., welcoming strangers, vis- iting sick and shut-ins, and send- ing clothing and food parcels to Britain. One parcel was sent to Mrs. MaeGillivrary, for whose hus- band the -Goderich Mission Band was named. Most of the money raised came from free-will offer- ings, but there were teas, talent table, a bake sale and a play which helped materially in making such a fine contribution. Honorary memberships were giv- en during the year to Mrs. Eber- hart, of Seaforth, and Mrs. Keith Revell, of Goderich. An honorary membership was also given to Mrs. F. R. Redditt, of Goderich, in January, too late to be included in the report of the last annual meet- ing. There are twelve senior auxil- iaries, four girls' groups and five Mission Bands, all doing splendid work which is a credit to all con- cerned. These reports were adopted and after some discussion it was decid- ed to accept an allocation of $3,500 for 1949. Synodical Meeting in Goderich It was announced that the Syn- odical meeting will be held in God- erich on May 10. 11 add 12. It is customary for a Presbyterial to serve an evening meal for the members of the board when they arrive for their board meeting. Bil- lets will be required for about 100 delegates, and as a number of them will be coming by train or bus they will have to come on the Tuesday to be ready for the Wed- nesday morning meeting at 9.30, so tbere will probably be around. eighty for the Tuesday evening meal. As they are to be guests of the Presbyterial it was decided to ask each member outside Gode- rich to give 25 cents to help with the expenses, and each auxiliary is eligible for a billet for one dele- gate. Further information will be given later. The nominating committee for 1949 will be Mrs. J. E. Daley, of Seaforth; Mrs. E. Lawson, of Auburn, and Mrs. R. J. Scott, of Belgrave. The objective for the coining year is an increase in membership. There was a discussion regard- ing a change of date for the an- nual greeting. It was suggested that reports at the end of the year could be taken care o'f by a sub- committee, and the annual meeting held in April, when more of the members might be able to attend. This matter will be taken up at the fall rally. Letters of sympathy will be sent to Mrs. D. Ritchie and Mrs. Bon thron, who have suffered bereave- ment. A vote of thanks was tendered to the Clinton ladies for their hos- pitality, and Mrs. D. J. Lane pre-' Sided for the election of officers. The report of the nominating committee was presented, by Mrs. P. A. Ferguson, of Hensall, and accepted. The officers were then installed and Mrs. Lane closed the meeting with prayer.

AUBURN George Hamilton The funeral of the late George Hamilton, highly, esteemed -resi- dent of Auburn, who died at his' home Sunday evening, January 9, in his 85th year„ was held from St. Mark's Anglican Church, Au- burn, Tuesday afternoon, Janu- ary 11, condiucted by Rev. 3. H. L. Henderson. Interment was in Col- borne cemetery. Deceased had been in failing health for some time. He was a son of the late Thomas Hamilton and Elizabeth Jane McCann Hamilton, and was born on the 8th concession of Col- borne Township, on January 28, 1864. He attended No. 3 School, Colborne. In 1896 Mr. Hamilton contracted the "gold fever" and decided to go prospecting in the Yukon. He got in totich with Dun- can Matheson. who had come home from Montreal to visit relatives in 'Goderich before going north. Mr. Hamilton joined the same com- pany which employed. Mr. Mathe- son, and set off for Montreal the middle of March. There he founds a party of gold seekers waiting, and after outfitting in Montreal the men journeyed to Edmonton. There they completer) their outfits, and then proceeded along the Athabaska trail to Athabaska Landing. Their twelve tons of pro- visions were taken thus far by teams. There Mr. Hamilton be- came a ship carpenter and from lumber purchased from the Hud- son's Bay Company built three sturdy flat -bottom boats. The party then proceeded down the Atha- baska River, through Lake Atha- baska and down Slave River to Great Slave Lake. At Hoy River the voyagers paused long enough to build a church for an Anglican missionary. The Arctic Circle was crossed, the party continuing downstream until within 90 miles of the mouth of the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Oceon. Here the group entered the Peel River, proceeding upward. toward the height of land on top of the Rockies which separated- them from the Yukon River. After ten days down stream •t.he •party came to the mouth of the Old Crow River on October 3, and as ice was beginning to form Walker, Hensall; "Glad Tidings," Miss M. Brown, Exeter; press•, Mrs. J. W. Thompson, Seaforth; welcome and welfare, Mrs. C, Hud- son, Hensall; supply, Mrs. C. Cutt, Goderich. EVERYBODrS BUsmTE ss by The world's most successful men vary widely in their abi- lities. But they all know how to make decisions. This ability is important to all of us, for life presents an unending series of choices. The following suggestions may help you in making up your mind: 1. Don't lean on others. Seek their opinion on impor- tant matters if you wish, but make your own decisions. 2. Be sure you understand what your objective really is or should be. 3. If much depends on your decision, try writing down the pro's and con's in opposite columns. Studying the list will help you. 4. Don't argue with your- self too long. Usually it's bet- ter to act - and risk mistakes. We learn by trial and error. As your decision -power improves you will become more a man of action. • • . When trying to decide how much life insurance you should own, or what kind of policy will best meet your needs, give careful considera- tion to your agent's advice. He is well qualified to analyze - your needs and help you, build a sound plan forprotec- tidiit and future income. v Fffa`a, tte9lti sd `;iib al imp r 11XF° yids Q dol -ae Ibiri ,„.4 o : aesett all dt1 csiias b t war't. ] nt� •: t .ain4 alto in eceti#b': but ,only otl one o ale* olatl p'ny, yellow , Ydouw'knop. thwe g�nrI5c4tlpwiPr net'ovirteh:7; :' 4i1 1:4 ,At Fort.
