Why * A little son has come to stay in each of the respective homes. J. L. Wideman for a few Editor Chronicleâ€"Telegraph. ‘The ‘Member of the Board" who recently favored you with a communiâ€" cation alout Hospital matters, and who replied in last week‘s issue to my letter of a few days ago, now attempts to soften his fling at the Ladies‘ Auxiliary by quibbling about the meaning of ‘‘maintenance." _ His first letter certainly left the impresâ€" sion as no doubt hbe intended that while the ladies contributed someâ€" thing towards the hospital it did not amount to very much. His ‘"explanaâ€" tion‘‘ does not remove this impresâ€" sion, but rather confirms it. As to the amount of ‘‘cash‘‘ collected by the ladies, we agree pretty closely. I esâ€" timated the amount at between $4,â€" 000 and $5,000. _ He asserts that it was $4,650. As a member of .the Board he ought to know. But he very wisely offers no remark about the ‘‘donations‘ of useful articles which T mentionedâ€" in my former letâ€" ter. These, no doubt, he regards also as not amounting to very much, It would be very difficult for any one to say just what they were worth, but the former Lady Superintendent, Miss Duncan, could inform us better . proâ€" bably than anyone else, both as to their value and usefuiness. If the ‘"Member of the Board" knows nothing about it, his ignorâ€" ance only serves as another proof of his uselessness to the ‘hospital, for reports were made by the ladies to the Board, at each annual meeting, of each year‘s collections and donations. As to the term ‘"‘maintenance," I may be wrong in my view, but I should think that a laundry, which the ladies provided, an operating room, which they helped to equip, and an ambulance, etc., are all very necessary for the .‘"mainteaance‘‘ ~of an hospital. Assuming that this is not ‘"‘maintenance," what about the blankets, beds, mattresses, pillows, linens, not to mention all manner of ‘"‘catables,‘‘ which were constanily supplied; are these not part of the ‘‘maintenance‘‘ of the hospital? _ if the laundry, ambulance, operating room, wereâ€" not ‘"‘maintenance,"‘ was it not because of the very fact that the ladies furnished these ‘that the iBoud was able to pay its butcher and baker (maintenance) tills? In other words, if the ladies had not from the commencement lent a helping hand, where would the funds have come from for "maintenance‘‘" His request for an audited statcâ€" ment of the receipts and expenditures of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary is an insult to the treasurer and the other officers quite in line with his first deliverance on this question. It is safe to say that he néver contributed to their funds and therefore no accounting is due him. Any contributor can . no doubt secure all desired information from the treasurer, whose books, even it not audited, no one has hitherto had the cheek to question. dist church last Sunday.â€"Owing to quarterly services held at .L.inwood no gervice will be held this Sunday.â€" Rev. Mr. Geach preached his farewel! sermon Sunday evening in the U. B. Church, which will be iosed for some "Justice" Answers the Auxilâ€" lary‘s Critic. The ‘"Member of the Board" will no doubt reply that the $4,650 collected by the ladies would have been found somewhere. If I am right about his identity, he also thought the Board could get along without an Auxiliary. Well, the Board did get along withâ€" out an Auxiliary, with the result that the hospital is now in _ the ‘hole‘‘ to the tune of some $2,600! If the same Board had continued in office a little longer the fate of the hospital would soon have been sealed. It was fortunate that at the recent annual meeting several new members were elected, to replace amongst othâ€" ers the "‘"member‘‘ in question, for it was certainly ‘"time for a change,‘ so far as he is concerned. time.
