    There is also the £60 which we receive each year from the Hinckley Sunday School Union, and further an item of £50 received from the Hinckley and District Teachers. There are many smaller events entailing personal effort and often sacrifice of leisure time, from which the Hospital derives financial benefit, and on behalf of my Committee I should like to assure everyone asso¬ ciated in any way with these organisations, and also those who support them, of our grateful appreciation. The thanks of my Committee, and the thanks of all Patients, both In- Patients and Out-Patients are, I think, due to our Matron, the Hon. Medical Staff and the Hon. Surgeon, for their services during the past year, and my Committee also extends to Messrs. Thomas May and Company, the Hon. Auditors, very best thanks for their services. This brings me to the end of the Annual Report of our Hospital, and, while there is nothing therein of a spectacular nature, and the report itself follows a set style, I sincerely trust you have found something in this report to stimulate your interest in the work of our Hospital. The Report clearly indicates a steady progress and a satisfactory position, but my Committee would like to see still greater use made of the facilities and services offered by our Hospital. Hinckley and District should be justly proud of possessing such a modern up-to-date Hospital, unhampered by debt, and my Committee would be only too willing to extend and improve upon the existing facilities if they were assured that such a step were justified by the demands of the Supporters. Hinckley is a town of growing size and importance, and should not, therefore, continue to rely upon outside Institutions more than is absolutely necessary, as, the greater the number of cases which can be dealt with in our own Hospital, the greater the number of cases it will allow our County Hospital, the Leicester Royal Infirmary, to deal with from districts not enjoying the hospital facilities possessed by us. My Committee would, therefore, ask those who are supporters to continue that support, to those who are not supporters my Committee invites them to become Subscribers or Contributors, so that if the necessity for Hospital treat¬ ment ever arises they can call upon their own Hospital, for those services which such support and interest has made possible. On behalf of the General Purposes Committee, H. A. GUTTERIDGE, Hon. Secretary.
