8 LEOMINSTER COTTAGE HOSPITAL . A YEAR'S EXCELLENT WORK . The 18th annual meeting of subscribers to Leominster Cottage Hospital took place at the Free Library , Leominster , on Thursday after- noon and was one of the best attended meet- ings in recent years . The THE KINGTON TIMES , APRIL 28 , 1917 . LEOMINSTER NOTES . We are pleased to hear that his Worship the Mayor ( Alderman H. Gosling ) is making good progress towards recovery and it is hoped that he will soon be back again to his manifold duties which he so nobly fulfils as chief citizen of this ancient borough . • There was an alarm of fire on Friday , the bell being rung at noon . Captain Budd and the fireinen were soon at the scene of the out- break which occurred in a house in Bridge Street , occupied by Mr. A. Bassett . It was found that the chimney was on fire , a large There was quantity of soot having fallen . little damage beyond discoloured walls . • • We understand that Mr. P. Johnson , of Burgess Street , has resigned his position of verger at the Priory Church , which he has held for many years , to take up other work . * • The report of the Committee for 1916 was as follows - In presenting their report to the subscribers the Committee of the Leominster Cottage Hospital can claim that good and use- ful work has been done during the eventful year of nineteen hundred and sixteen . The war has brought numerous changes in its train , although such changes have been less marked in this district than elsewhere . Cottage Hospital has been more affected by the war than any other institution in the town or neighbourhood . For the moment , the character of the work carried on by Miss Tew and her staff has been greatly altered . Under normal conditions the patients are drawn entirely from the district and represent the ordinary cases expected in a rural community . This class of work is still carried on , but for the present it has been overshadowed by work of another character . The cases treated have been largely those of sick and wounded sol- diers , drawn from all parts of the United Kingdom . Through the agency of the Cot- tage Hospital , Leominster has been enabled to bear her share in the duty of tending the men who have suffered in the cause of King and Country . Heartily have the sick and wounded soldiers been welcomed at the Cottage Hos - ster Depot in a fortnight's time . In the list pital and heartily have they appreciated their welcome . With one consent they have ex- pressed their gratitude for the treatment they had received at the hands of those in charge of the Institution . Nor have they failed to value the hospitality so warmly extended to them by friends in the town and neighbour- hood . The Committee feel that when peace is obtained and when normal conditions prevail the work will be all the more appreciated by reason of the part played at this great crisis in the national life . The Doctors , the Matron and Staff , and not least the Honorary Secre- tary , deserve the gratitude of the Committee for their devoted and successful labours . Those who have continued their genuine sup- port of the Hospital in face of increased de- mands on their liberality , are entitled to our best and especial thanks are due to the Misses Urwick who raised a substantial sum by means of an entertainment given in the Corn Ex- change . The financial report speaks for itself . Sufficient to say that it affords cause for thankfulness as regards the past and fills us with courage concerning the future of the Cottage Hospital . The financial statement may be summarised as follows : Income , ordinary , subscriptions £ 155 28. , donations £ 4 2s . , Creswell Fund £ 5 , Hospital Sunday collections £ 89 4s . Sd . , Har- vest Festival at Eye Church £ 2 2s . , patients ' payments , civilian £ 11 19s . , military £ 257 15. , total £ 524 11s . Sd .; investments £ 49 6s . 4d . , entertainment ( per Miss Urwick ) 18 8s . 7d . , Young Helpers League 2 10s . , B.W.N.T.A. £ 1 , G. Hinton ( box ) 3s . , total £ 595 19s . 7d .

The proceeds of the pantomime Aladdin , " which was so well given by the girls of the Leominster Church of England National Schools , amounted to £ 20 145. The sum of £ 19 has been forwarded to the local Red Cross Funds , per favour of Mr. R. M. Thorneley , The Old Hall , Eyton . I 14s . has been re- served to pay for the wool used for knitting which is being done by the girls of the Church of England Schools for the Red Cross Society . A dozen pairs of mittens have been sent in and seven pairs of socks , and 13 pairs of mit- tens will be completed and sent to the Leomin- of thanks to the stewards of the Hall Mr. Badham's name was omitted . Miss Florrie Pugh should have been thanked for the loan of dresses and Miss Wilkes and Miss Wood- house for help in making the slippers .

Jones , Mrs. Parry , " Mrs. Biddle , Mrs. E. P. Lloyd , Mrs. Dalley , Mrs. Abell , Mr. Gough , Mrs. Williams , Mrs. Mayor , Mrs. Hammond , Miss Colt , Miss Ban- nister and Mrs. Smith . The result of the pantomime is one reflecting the highest credit upon Miss Smith and her assistants and that their efforts were highly appreciated in the town is shown by the handsome sum which they have been enabled to forward to the Red Cross Fund .

Elder will conduct services at II a.m. and 6.30 p.m. In the afternoon Mr. H.
