SANATORIUM SERVICE SOCIETY

ANNUAL REPORT The annual report of the Sanatorium Service Society reviews the activities of the last year, showing that the society had continued to help needy patients in the sanatorium, and that the public had generously supported the society in its work. The response to various appeals, the report says, had been gratifying. A piano had been lent indefinitely to the Fresh Air Home, and with the co-operation of the Hospital Lady Visitors’ Association a scheme of occupational therapy had been begun at the sanatorium under the direction of Miss Mildred Lance. The women’s committee of the society had visited the sanatorium regularly, had supervised the buying of clothes needed by patients, and had provided Christmas presents for all patients who had remained in the sanatorium during the Christmas holidays. The committee expressed gratitude to regular subscribers to the society’s funds, and acknowledged donations from the Marlborough Hospital Board, Nelson Hospital Board, Hyam Marks Trustees, North Canterbury Hospital Board, and £SO from the Canterbury Rugby Union towards the baths at the Fresh Air Home. The report, signed by Mr P. H. Harris, chairman, and Mr W. J. Walker, honorary secretary, will be presented at the annual meeting of the society early next week.
