Vincent's Hospital, and St. Louis-Marie de- Montfort Hospital in and hospitals in Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Renfrew and Smiths Falls. Encouraging Reports Reports given by the delegates indicated the excellent accomplishments of the auxiliaries in fund-raising and voluntary work. Guest speaker at the afternoon session was Rev, Sister Madeleine of Jesus, director of nursing education at the University of Ottawa School of Nursing. Sister Madeleine spoke of the history, progress and present programs of hospital auxiliaries.

She noted that these WA's had been established originally to supplement the hospital staff and also to raise funds. At the beginning, the auxiliaries took quite an active part in the day-to-day work at a hospital, helping in the clinics and feeding patients. Today, she said, this field of their work has been taken over by hospital personnel such as nurses' aids. But the women still have an important role to fill in the effective execution of a hospital's work, she added. Raising Funds Women's auxiliaries now concentrate their efforts on the important task of raising funds for various projects at the hospitals.

They do this through tt-as, rummage sales, card parties and other efforts such as the Tuck Shop or Snack Bar at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, she said. However, the speaker urged the women to enlarge their sphere of influence by acting as an intermediary between the public and its hospitals. Auxiliary memhers are in closer contact with the public than are hospital personnel and so have the opportunity of making people more conscious of the operation and accomplishments of the' various hospitals, she said. In order to carry out this public relations type of work. Sister Madeleine added, the auxiliary members must have a thorough knowledge of their hospitals.

Praises Association She praised the association's accomplishments and noted that its conferences provided a stimulating setting for the exchange of ideas and suggestions by -the member auxiliaries. Sister Madeleine was introduced hv Mrs. Horace Racine and thanked by Mrs. George Cameron of Cornwall. Following her talk a report on the recent provincial convention was given by Mrs.

A. Siddall of Perth. Votes of thanks to the hostess and the Sisters at St. Louis-Marie de Montfort HospitaVwcre led by Mrs. Campbell of Renfrew.
