Mans are already made by several old persons to sell their few belongings and board, another to go to the Country with friends. One gets very close to the es- sential kfndliness and helpfulness of the poor in work of this kind as tho following letter in part will show:- "I have a charitable offer to make towards The Free Dispensary. I hope it will be accepted in these hard and trying winter days. It is this: I will give away every Bat- urday beginning January 14th and ending March 25th one loaf home made bread. This is to help some poor down and outer over Sun- day. I have full and plenty this winter and as a Christian I desire to help some one less fortunate. Don't you think the best way to do this will be for you to give the order with your name signed. Hope others in a position to do so will do the same as I feel it would go a good way in affording relief."

The Rotarisns sent their usual generous donation and we must

The state Relief furnishes food. bu; does not directly administer to the v/ants of the sick, all of whom require care and medicine. During the last year the sum of $390.50 was expended in medicine, an in- crease of $214.32 over the previous year, which was very necessary for the comfort and wellbeing of the suffering poor.

I feel, that. the pdaiio realize, that the Free Dispensary is s. use- ful and necessary adillmt l0 m9 philanthropic endeavor in this city, and will put forth every effort to sustain it.

The yearly envelope collection will take place, on Monday, May 1st... and my sincere hope is that it will rccuivn the same generous 81100011. as has been accorded it in the past.

bliss Enrich Report The following report was pre- sented by Miss Amy Earle: The records 01' The Free Dis- pcnslry for the past twenty-two years may seem insignificant but the appreciation of those helped ccnxrlizms us more and more that we are meeting a great need. ‘There are four hundred and sixty five families on relief in this City.

A splendid piece of service was done by the Pure Milk Co., when they offered to supply a quart of milk a day to a needy family for each person who visited their plant. Members of the different churches and societies took advantage 6r this generous offer with the re- sult that one thousand quarts of milk were delivered. This work was done in conjunction with the Red Cross Society.

Emergency Cases

A morning visit on a 001d Octo_ ber day found a feeble old lady veTY much in need of help. She stood shivering with cold, no stove, just a tiny oil lamp. We had to act at once which necessitated s. stove, pipe, plumber, coal box, coal, kindling. Six visits were made to that room in one day, but we left her radiantly happy with o. bright fire and plenty to eat.

Christmas Work

It has been the purpose of the Free Dispensary to care for de- serving families at Christmas time. This year although the response to our appeal was not as generous as usual, we sent out boxes con- taining chicken, pudding, preserves, canned goods, fruit, etc. If individ- ual donors could be on hand when these deliveries were made they Thanks are due the Pffi.

GERTRUDE ‘COTTON Treasurer

Reference was made to the reso- lution passed at the last annual melting urging the Government and City Council to take steps toward the improving of the housing con- ditions of the destitute.

Canon Malone thought that the resolution regarding housing should be incorporated in the minutes, and should again be brought to the at- tention of the Government and City Council.

The following were appointed as a nominating committee: Mr. John MoKenna, canon Malone, Mrs. C. Cr. Duffy. The report presented by this committee was adopted.

In response to query as to what action the Government had taken on the resolution re housing, Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MadMillan stated that a resolution of that kind did not fall within the province of the Provincial Government. but as Minister of Health he voiced his hearty approval of the principle.

During his fifteen years experi- ence as city Health Officer he had pressed the matter 0n the City Council. Some steps had been tak- en at times, and a number of houses unfit for human habitation had been closed.

There was a drawback as shelter had to be found for the families whose dwellings were thus removed.

The resolution hncl merit in it- self if it could be accomplished. The carrying cut of the idca had always met some obstacle beyond which it was impossible to g0. The responsibility was one which the City Government should assume.

Mir. John MacKennu moved a resolution oi’ thanks to the Garden City Milk Co., for generous dona- tions ofmllk. The resolution was seconded by Dr. Maolvlillan.

It was moved by Canon Malone seconded by John McKcrma that the thanks of the meeting be ex- tended to the Rotary and Y's Men's Clubs.

A vote of thanks to Miss Earle for the work she had donedurlng the year was moved by Rev. C. N. Brown, and seconded by Canon Malone.

A vote of thanks to Mrs. R. L. Cotton secretary-treasurer was moved by Mrs. W. B; Bentley sec- onded by Mrs. Chas. Lyons.

A vote of thanks to the Press was moved by Hon. Dr. W. J. P. Macmillan, who made reference to the publicity given the work of the society. Ho had been surprised to note that the Dr. Jenkins’ Coal Fund had been neglected by the public this year.

The proposal that relief should cease on May Lmeant thata larger burden would have to be borne locally The Society had been organized

Boy Scout Troop Comes To The Aid Of Ken Maynard In “Drum Taps”

"Drum Taps" now at the Capitol has many novel angles to commend it. Being a thrilling outdoor drama, it has its full quota of great horse- man ship, keen hand-to-hand tus- sles, last minute rescues and the participation of a full Boy Scout Troop, who cuter the story in the beginning and play an important part in the unfolding of the story.

The Boy Scouts are shown going through many of their interesting manoeuvres in the course of the pic- ture, and their help in rounding up the gang of rustlers was wildly ap- plnuded.

In addition to Maynard in the leading role. there is also his fam- ous horse “Tarzan", Dorothy Dix, Junior Coughlin. If you like wmt- crn pictures, don't fail to visit the Capitol.

“State Fair” Excellent Entertainment

ALL-STAR runs rrAs EVERY- THING AND SOME Tasman.

Surpassing in entertainment val- ues and supreme in characterization the eagerly awaited “State Fair” opened at. the Prince Edward yes- terday with a winning combination of a great cast and great story. Such an array of stars as Janet Gaynor, Will Rogers, Lew Ayers, sally Eilers, Norman Foster, Louise Dresser, could scarcely fail to pro- vide outstanding entertainment. When those players are presented in a story as rich in romance, com- edy and plot as “State Fair" the re- sult is nothing less than delight.

Authentic in atmosphere, beauti-

fully photographed and handsomely mounted, "State Fair" posseses ev- ery quality that goes to make a pic- ture great. Without question it ranks as one of the screen's really great achievements.

INDIAN T0 GIVE ‘UP PONY WEALTH

KAMIOOPS, B. 0., Alpril 27—-(C. PJ-iliaving now given up the age- old belief their wealth and posit- ion in the world is indicated by the number of Hogs and ponies they possess, aborlglnles of British Oolumiba have promised to assist authorities in ridding the interior of both scourges, according to Rev. A. R. Lett of St. George's Indian School at Lytton, B. C.

Because Indians reckoned their wealth in ponies and clogs there is today a surplus of the animals in interior British Columbia, Mr. Lett stated. They are destroying sheep and poultry and are of no value. Fortunately the modern Indian sees this and is helping to rid the reserves of dogs and the ranges of wild horses, he said.

cuiosis and the speaker hoped that this phase of work might be continued, 6.8 well as the charity work. Miss Earles work was very commendable. The position of the Sanatorium was not good at the present, as apart from those in the Sanatoriiml who were returned soldiers and whose way was paid, there were scarcely any other pay- ing patients. It was now necessary for the Government to pay $18,000 in support. The people must su-p- port the senator-tum if it is to con- tinue to operate. Some of the pat- ients thcre had no homes to return to, with the result that tho institu- tion had become a place of refuge.

The Society had agitated for the erection of a Banatorium for years. The speaker had smiled when members of the Legislature had taken full credit for the building of the structure from s govem- mental standpoint. This society was the first friend of the Sonat- orium. The speaker deprecated the statement that the sanatorium was a free institution. The vote of thanks to the press was seconded by Mr. '1'. E. McNutt.

Mr. '1‘. E. MoNutt as regards the housing question stated that there was a section of land in Spring Park on which the City might build houses. In England where the plan was carried out small rent was paid by tho tenants. He mov-

ed a vote of thanks to Mr. W. F‘. Tldmarsh. The motion was sec.

‘ended by m. John McKenzie.

He told. of the growth from the time the office was opened in 1921 when fourteen hundred held of live stock were shipped, to the past year when it was increased i0 fourteen thousand head. Mr. Clay went on to explain why the thlrw various clubs that are in operation on the Island were organized and the benefits derived therefrom through lessening marketing ex- P511595 and giving the farmers the facilities of shipping rirty two weeks of the year. He also-stated that one man looked after the mar- keting for the ninety clubs that are operating in the Maritimes. Y's Man Aben McLean acted as chairman, and m.

Martin, however, was forced to spend a few ‘days in hospital here, suffering from frostbitten feet. His condition was not serious. "It is true we ran short of food and two of our dogs died," said Clive, “but to say we experienced danger is wide of the mark."

The two-man expedition conduct- ed surveys for the Royal Society in the Inc Martro region, far north of Fort Rae. Wild stories‘ of their “terrible hardships" had been reported here. Martin will head an expedition w Spitsbergen this summer after he returns to Eng-
