BULLETIN o f the Pierce County M edical Society 7 EDITORIALLY SPEAKING... Our hard working Pierce County Medical Society Auxiliary recently had an experience that is worthy of presentation. Due to unforseen circumstances they were forced to change the site of their rummage sale, held December 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and a sign to that effect was placed in the door. Subsequently Helen Kittridge received reports of some strange faces behind the counters accepting rummage from doctors’ wives. Investigation disclosed that another organization had taken over the space and altered the sign left so that no mention was made of the transfer of the Pierce County Medical Society Auxiliary to another location. The party that had taken over was found not to have a permit and the place was promptly locked up. However, the Auxiliary and what it supports suffered considerable loss. Instead of the previously— (last year) earned $1000 only $455 was taken in. These funds are used for scholarships for nurses and also “The American Medical Educational Foundation Fund.” It would seem that the Pierce County Medical Society Board of Trustees could support our Auxiliary and investigate with the thought of recovering loss, preventing misunderstanding with this organization and taking action to prevent recurrences of this situation.
