    REPORT. For the Year ending 30th September, 1938. The Committee present the 71st Annual Report to the subscribers. The Hospital has treated no less than 64 in-patients, 17 more than last year. There has been a steady supply of Invalid Children and a large number of operations for tonsils and adenoids in addition to local cases. The Balance Sheet is again satisfactory and the balance in hand shows an increase of £17. During the year the Hospital benefited by two bequests; one of £125 from Miss Bunker and another of £50 from Mr. James Stephens : the interest on these will to some extent make up for the fall in subscriptions : a welcome grant of £10 has also been received from the League of Mercy. The resources of the Hospital were duly placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Health with a view to possible air raids. By the death of Mrs. Gosling the Hospital has lost a very good friend, who for many years had done everything in her power to help the work of the Hospital.
