MAXSON STARTS HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN A meeting held at the home of Mrs. H. L. Maxson of Freeport on Monday, June 9, at 2.30, marked the beginning of local activities for the Nassau Hospital campaign. Mrs. Maxson, who has long been an enthusfastic Red Cross worker and chairman of her district, has accepted the responsibility of district chairman for this excellent cause The meeting opened with the good news that Mrs. Maxson had already secured the services of nine captains: Mrs. C. D. McCarthy, Miss Helen An- derson, Mrs. W. F. Cornell, Mrs. Robert Earon, Mrs. Harry Reeve, Mrs. Charles H. Reach, Miss S. R Kahn, Mrs. Richard Remsen and Samuel R. Smith. Mrs. Maxson explained to the cap- tains that she has decided to work her territory by dividing it into nineteen sections. During the first four days she and her captains will make individual calls. The two fol- lowing days will be devoted to a house-to-house clean-up. Tag day will complete the campaign. A more detailed announcement will follow regarding the additions to the hospital that are to be made as the result of the campaign. For the present, however, it is of inter- est to know that there is a children's ward in prospect, from which no pa- tient will be barred because of in- ability to pay for treatment. This is consistent with the policy of the hospital, which recorded a total of 2226 days of free work for the year ending March, 1919. MOosQUITO- COM.
