day to the work. The work has been found not only interesting,
but we feel that our services are useful and appreciated.
Figures cannot express this service, but a brief
summary of the cases receiving financial assistance uirougli
the Care Committee will indicate the variety and extent
of the work performed.
Tonsil and Adenoid operations 7
Vision 22
Dental 118
Hospital fares 5
Boots 83
Clothes 2
Milk and extra nourishment 133
Convalescent home treatment 34
The total number of cases receiving our aid has been
404, at a cost of £117 13s. 8½d.
The following-up of these cases, and the home visitation
by the voluntary workers, gives us an opportunity
to realise the difficulties that the necessitous parent encounters,
and opens to us a great field of work for the
Children's Care Committee.
The Committee has again to thank Colonel E. Satterthwaite,
Hon. Secretary of the Queen's Reign Commemoration
Fund, for his kind help in allotting to us so many
convalescent letters, and Mrs. Parfect, of Rogate, also deserves
a word of gratitude for the way in which she has
looked after the children we have put under her care during
convalesence, even to the mending of their clothes, which
in many cases had been a great help to the parents. AVe
would here also like to add our thanks to the Bromley Benevolent
Society for their yearly help to our funds, for our
work would be much curtailed were it not for their financial
aid.
We are once again only too pleased to thank Alderman
A. T. Harris for his generosity in providing all spectacles
at a reduced charge and in many cases free.
