CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

FUND STILL INCREASING. \ : ;"::'-, PROPOSED HOSPITAL GUILD. ■'..'■': ■■''"■ To state the exact amount contrib-- ■ -; jilted to the Children's Hospital Fund . - : is at ,tlie moment impossible, although it will-jvery shortly, be determined with ..-. ; . exactitude.. Yesterday from 9.45 in ''. e . -morning to 6.15- in tho ovening, " four 'patient worker's,' ■ Mrs. AVilford, Miss. Joseph, Mr. .AVilford,' and Mr. • Harding were engaged in checking .tho rjarious lists: They found • mistakes '■'-':. innumerable, and-their task.was ardu- . ■-. : . ; :- pus to a .degree/ but at the end of a ';■■■:■' toilsome day practically every item on the lists;had.been, checked.and. veri- ■ ned.'- There were no fewer than seven lists, each containing fourteen pages Jof foolscap, on which every'figure had Ifo-be checked. . Mr. AVilford is of opinion that £6000 -will-bo banked by piesday morning.! Tho .total. amount .'w the fund ..when , completed' will, of. bourse, bo considerably greater than . this. ': j.AVhon yesterday's labours TCere completed,; there remained four items as to;_which: some uncertainty exists. .Those responsible for the appearance on the list of."G.D.-, 205."; "H.H." and '.'A.M.G., 55," are requested to communicate with the Mayoress. Communication'is also desired with Miss •iChnt./- '.;,': -!}".-.:- .; , -.;,■ ■' -. .Prompt Payment Desired. -•■' A great deal of trouble and unnecessary labour will be saved those adniinastering the fund if people who have promised subscriptions,' but'' have iiot - .jyet"banded them' in, will repair the ■•, ' omissioh'.' without delay. There is' of :colirs'e'-no suggestion, that anyone is to avoid payment, fiift it is a -fact that payment his, no doubt •from:lack of.thought in a number of. cases; been unduly delayed, and prompt ■ . .'payment will-greatly lighten the task N ' of those who are engaged in reducing the details of the fund to order. ■ .' Apart from, individual subscriptions', a , numbor of'lists have yet to be handed . ■' in, • although' it was notified that they ; would close on Saturday.- Mr. and Mrs. AVilford desire to call a meeting of the committee as soon as possible, out this caiinot bo dono -until- all subscriptions' ; ; and = lists have .been received and'offi-..cial-returns prepared'showing the exact 'positioh'of the fund. .'....'■' k ; ; A Cuild of Women. -. "'AVhile wrestling with financial details -Mr. AA r ilford has by-no, means lost sight of-the general object of assisting .in. every possible, way to brighten the •kt of -the- children in hospital. AVhen the'-committee meets he will suggest . the formation, hi AVellington of a permanent Hospital' Guild,"of .women.' Mr. AVilfprd's ' idea is that the proposed , .- guild' snould work 1 in conjunction'.with the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board. Its;members.would, of course, have.no ■.administrative status, but might assist - the_ board;on .all cessions .when the advice.'., "''of''-, 'women, .would ibe valuable. They- /might be ' consulted in reference, to .the. plans, of the new building, and.later in eonnec- ,... tioii.ivith such matters, as providing destitute ' children with; clothing, the endowment of cots and so forth. .There ; are many details, Mr. Wilford considers, in :wiiich the. intervention of 'women w-ould be of. decided-. valu'eV''■"■'They' might, be. entrusted with the work of '-. preparing toys.and .Christmas; gifts for v the little ones, and the' organisation of concerts "and, other entertainments would also fall naturally.to their share. .They might work generally' with'" the Hospital ;and Charitable'. Aid;. Board .; . when-required;-: and . the' plan' 'ha,s;,;tKe, ;.- .-obvious, advantage that' should. any"ur- '. ... gent-nfied-arise there, would be an or- ,'. ganisatioh'already in'existence, and 'in "a-ppsition to. bring it prominently into public notice. 'Mr."AVilford will present his proposal in full detail at the meeting oft tne;'committee, to'-be l 'called -'shortly.. ' ' i ■ ..Charity "Soccer" Match. ; According to arrangement, b'alf tbe '■...'.,'■•; ' 'gate"i at the 1 interprovincial Association; football match, Otago v." Welling-' ...- tori, 1 , played' on. the Basin Reserve on Saturday, is to be handed to tho Mayor as a..donation, to the Children's Hospital Fund., Although the exact 're- , turns from the sale of tickets are not 'aVailable, it. roughly, estimated that the total -receipts 'will be just over £100,: so the Children's Hospital Fund will benefit to the extent of-about £50. ~: Plans and Specifications.
