Events which ll'ansplrcd'at the in September at the Home for the Aged, at which time Mrs. Minerva Davis. as finance chairman, (lid so much shooting, have stirred the members into activitiy. The many accusations made by Mrs. Davis against Mrs. John C. Sherman. treasurer. at tile last meet- ing, were recounted in the previous two issues of the paper. A narration of the events leading up to the last meeting made clear a number of the underlying causes of the trouble. The many friends of Mrs. Sher. mall and of Mrs. Herbert Pollard, president. who also came ill for a share of the “onslaught" are. rally" ing against Mrs. Davis and her friends. The former feel that their. two officials were unjustly criticized and that most of him-Davis "cen- suring" was “out of order." and should not have been done by her at all. Seeking Tile Way Out. Already the members are search~ ing their by-laws for a way out of their present trouble, 3. tool with which they can “clean house" and bring peace and quiet to their board again. Among their many grievances. the members claim that the “unchristia'n like" attitude of Mrs. Davis .has re- flccted discreditably on the Union in more than once instance. They cite the following: Two years ago there came before the board the matter of back pay- ments for the board of a Miss Ar- nold. aged inmate at the Home. At the last meeting. the matter again come tip, this time under a some- what different light. It is said that when Mrs. Davis discovered that some of the pay- ments in this particular case were long overdue. she said she would see that the money come into-the treasury of the Home it she had ’to lake the old lady out of the Home and "dump her on the doorstep" of the relativc's house.

She was working. Then her husband was taken ill. had to give up work. and she was forced to give up her own wclk in order to look after him. This meant that there was barely enough money in the house to make both ends expect for a‘ long time let alone pay the keep of anyone outside Mr. Francis is a chauffeur.
