For

the

was
a
climax
to
a
campaign
to
raise
money
for
the
installation
of
a
children's
ward
in
the
Prince

General
Hospital.
The
drive
was
outstandingly
successful,
netting
the
club
more
than
$4500
in
excess
of
expenses.
The

Is

the

and
will
be
located
In

of
the
hospital.
The
ward,
when
completed,
will
contain
nine
