Special thanks are due to the North Cam- brian Needlework Guild for their useful gifts, and also to the Mutual Benefit Society for the sum of 10s 9d, and to the Co-opera- tive Society for £1 Is, these last named donations being specially gratifying, as ihowing the general interest which is being taken in the Association. Many thanks are also due to those who have so liberally added donations to their annual subscrip- tions, and to all others who have given their time, and their money, in support of this charity. The total receipts of tho year, together ^vvith the balance from last year, amount to £179 6s 2d, and the expenditure to JE136 18s lOcI, showing the balance of j642 7s 4d. The increased support accorded to the Association has enabled the committee to furnished a cottage for the nurse, as it was most essential that she should have a per- manent home. Miss Pritchard, the inspector of Queen's Nurses for Wales, visited the district twice during tho year. The committee of the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute stated that they had considered the report re- ceived from their inspector, on the Colwyn Ba-y distriot, of May 23rd, 1906. Nurse Bailey is a good nurse and her work was well done. Everything appears to be going on in a satisfactory manner."

Great credit was due to tho "ltOors. He did not know how the ladies but the gentlemen had a rooted ob- jection to going from house to house, askij.g for subscriptions. It must indeed be heart- breaking, considering the time spent, to re- ceive a refusal. Mrs Whitehouse, Bryn Mostyn, seconded, and this was also unanimously carried. THE NURSE. The Chairman said the last, but by far not the least part of the business was to thank the nurse for the excellent manner in which she had performed her work in the parish. Mr J. Wood said that he felt rather out of place, in proposing the vote of thanks, as h« had rendered tlie Association no help, although it had his warmest sympathy. He had closely observed the work done by Nurse Bailey. He had seen and heard almost daily in many quarters of her many kindly acts. He had also heard from experts how exceedingly skilful she was. He knew thdt many would be very sorry indeed at the prospect of losing Nurse Bailey, and when she moved into q higher sphere he was sure they would all wish her very gre-at happiness and blessing- They would all be very anxious until they knew their fate with regard to a successor. Father Cammerfo-rd seconded. The Chairman, in replying on behalf of the nurse, caused much merriment. On the proposition of Mr D. Gamble, sec- onded by Mrs Lumloy, a vote of thanks was acoordcd the Chairman for the genial and happy manner in which he had carried out his duties.
