Hospital Auxiliary
Sponsoring Project
For New Equipment
Membership Drive Now
In Progress to Raise
Funds
At their regular meeting January
21, the Chowan Hospital Auxiliary
opened a membership drive extending
to February 18, with Mrs. E."N. El
liott as drive chairman.
Membership in the organization is
SI.OO and the purpose of the drive is
to secure funds for the year’s pro
jects, rather than active participation
in the work. Although anyone still
wishing to be actively associated is
privileged. Active members are
those who act as representatives of
the various groups throughout the
county. Memberships of SI.OO or
more will be accepted by Mrs. E. N.
Elliott, Mrs. Rodney Harrell, treas
urer, or any active member.
The No. 1 project of the year is the
purchase of a combination infant re
suscitator and incubator. Miss Fran
ces Tillett, manager, and Miss Early,
head nurse, stressed the need of this
equipment for the delivery room and
nursery. The Auxiliary realizing
that this piece of modern equipment
may be the means of saving lives of
the new-born, ordered the machine at
once.
Mrs, William P. Jones was elected
secretary to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mrs. J. Lester
Forehand.

others will follow from time to time
until we reach our goal of one hundred
pounds, and we trust that this small
gesture of friendship will be accepted
as a token now in memory of the past
to unite us more closely in a future
of certain and lasting peace.
“Sincerely and faithfully yours,

“By Duncan Winston Wales.
“(Mrs. Chas. P. Wales)”
The letter from the Duchess of
Devonshire is as follows:
“Dear Mrs. Wales:
“Col. Hills has written to thank
you for the wonderful gift of tea
from the ladies of Edenton, but I feel,
as chairman of the Victoria League,
that I would like to reply to your let
ter to Cbl. Hills with its most inter
esting first paragraph and to thank
you and the ladies of Edenton for
your very great generosity in giving
ultimately one hundred pounds of tea
as a gesture of friendship. The spirit
which has provided the motive for this
most kindly gift is, I think, a splendid
example of the feeling which exists
between our two countries and I like
to think, especially between the ladies
of Edenton and the headquarters of
the Victoria League. I appreciated
also the coloured postcards which you
so kindly enclosed.
“I hope that if any of your ladies
or any visitors from Edenton are ever
in England they will come to the Vic
toria League headquarters so that we
may have the privilege of showing

places and its silk brocaded drawing

period—early 19th century—when this
house was built. I hope, however,

' them a letter of introduction so that

j is true that rationing in Eng
land is drastic, but we do have, on the
whole, enough to eat if there is more
than one member of the household,
though the lack of variety is dis

especially those in the older age

kind gift, and I know how deeply they
