At, the Greytown Hospital on Friday night the nursing staff were hostesses at a bridge party and dance given in honour of the retiring matron, Misa H. A. Burton.

Thompson, local member of the Hospital Board, and Drs. H. B. Berney and G. S. Sharpe, all paid tributes to Miss Burton's sterling qualifications. Miss Burton received many farewell and birthday gifts, including a beaten brass table and vase from the staff.
