GENERAL MANAGER;IS REPORT

I beg to submit to the Orphanage Board of Nlanager.s a report for the year ending· Dec. 31st, 1951. As I have already given a brief report up to April 30th of this year I trust that I may be pardoned if I repeat anything already written. .

During the year 10 children-3 boys and 7 girls-were admitted to the Orphanage, and for the same period 7 boys and 5 girls left us. Of the boys discharged in the period under re­view, one was placed in Messrs. Job Brothers & c .o. Hardware Departn1.e11t, one went to live with his sister "vho was prepared to care for his education. He is now attending Memorial University. Two brothers went to S1.1dbury, Ontario, to live with their sister, work having been asS1..1red them before leaving, two were re­turned to their mothers who had re-married, and one was given a position witli Messrs. Harvey & Company, Limited.

Of the five girls discharged in this period, one returned to her grandparents at Sydney, N.S. where she is attending school, one -was placed at the White Clothing Factory where her older sister is working and one went to her mother at New York to make preparations to train as a nurse, one went to Bedford, near Halifax, to live amongst her aunts, brothers and sisters, to secure suitable work and one is work­ing in a jewellery store at Corner Brook and living with her aunt.

4

On December 31st, 1951, we had at the Orphanage twenty-eight girls and thirty-six boys, a total of sixty-four children.

HEALTH

The health of the children has been ex­cellent and reflects the unremitting care and de­votion of Deaconess Chloe and Mrs. Greenland, to the boys and girls under their care. Several cases of measles, towards the end of the year curtailed the many enjoyable events planned for the Christmas Holidays, but all came through without any bad effects. I would like to men~ tion the splendid services we received from our Hon. Physicians, Dr. J. Tolson Smith and Dr. Harry Roberts, also our Hon. Dental Surgeon, Dr. M. F. Hogan, as well as the Medical Officers of- the Department of Public Health who de­vote much time to the medical and dental care of our boys and girls. This time and service given freely year by year is gratefully acknow­ledged and very much appreciated.

EDUCATION

Our two room school continues to function with Mr. Fred Haynes as Principal and Miss Edna Hancock as Assistant Teacher. Two girls an·d two boys successfully passed the Grade Nine examinations in June. We now have four pupils in Grade Ten and four pupils in Grade Nine who will write their ex~minations in June. Elsie Smith and Jack Hodder who attended Bishop Spencer and Bishop Field Colleges re-

5

spectively have successfully passed Grade Eleven with Honors, the former winning the prize for Latin. One of the senior boys is attending Adult School at night and helping with the farm work by day. It is a great disadvantage for our two­room school to be in operation in different buildings. The Principal cannot arrange his Time-Table so as to give much supervision to the Lower Departments. Let us keep hoping that the vision of a past Board of Managers, of a separate school building will become a reality in tlie not too distant future.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

As in former years the children attend Sun­day morning service at St. Thomas,s Church whenever the weather is suitable, and on the First Sunday in each month the confirmed ·chil­dren go to Holy Communion at 8 o,clock. Sun­day School or Children,s Service is conducted each Sunday by the Manager, assisted by his Assistant, Mr. C. Laing or Mr. Fred Haynes, Principal of the Day School. Eight of our chil­dren-6 boys and 2 girls-were confirmed by His Lordship Bishop Abraham at the Confirmation Service at St. Thomas,s on December 9th. This class had been prepared by Canon Howitt, Chaplain of the Orphanage assisted by Deaconess Chloe Adams, Assistant Chaplain.

SPORTS AND RECREATION

Substantial progress has also been made in the realm of sport. When the baseball season

6

opened Mr. H. J. Taylor kindly donated plenty of equipment, while Mr. P. E. Outerbridge ar­ranged for two instructors from the Play­grounds Association to instruct the boys in the finer points of the game. When the ponds . be­gan to freeze Mr. P. E. Outerbridge again carne on the scene and presented the boys with skates and hockey equipment. Every boy can now boast of having an up-to-date outfit for hoc­key, even to sweater and stockings worn for the mainland team he admires. When next season rolls round we are hoping to see an Orphanage team try conclusions with some of the city teams.

CAMPING

During July our boys attended the C.L.B. Camp at Hr. Grace. Twelve boys who were under the age to join were guests of the Brig­ade under the care of the Manager. It was the first time this young group had been under canvas and you can imagine the benefits derived from such an outing. Through the kindness of friends transportation by bus to the Camp site l'lad been provided which was most efficiently carried out by Mr. Walter Hennessey. The generosity of the good people of Hr. Grace, in­cluding the Fraternal Societies, will not soon be forgotten. Splendid gifts of money, ice­cream, . fruit and candies were freely bestowed upon the boys. We are indeed grateful for all that the C.L.B. has done and is doing for our boys. I would here like to add a personal note

7

of thanks to the Officers and others for their many acts ot kindness to myself while at their camp. It was indeed a pleasure to be assoc­iated with such fine men.

From July 19th to August 14th our Girl Guides also had the joy of camping at Brook­lyn, B.B. The Guides camped in the field own­ed by Mr. Eli Russell and the Deaconess and Brownies took possession of Bishop Abraham,s house. The journey to and from was made over the Cabot Highway in a filled to capacity bus which journey took from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 a.m.

We are all so thankful to everybody who made it possible for the girls to get away from their everyday surroundings to enjoy the beauties and excitement of country life during the Sum­mer.

THE RoYAL VIsiT

One outstanding event for the year was, of course, the Royal Visit. Our boys and girls were excited beyond measure to be able to take part in the wonderful welcome to Princess Elizabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edin­burgh. Our Cadet boys did duty on the streets, our school cl1.ildren lined the streets with flags, Girl Guides and Brownies paraded, and we all felt proud and happy to welcome them and to express our loyalty to the Crovvn.

THE FARM

The Hon. Treasurer will submit the Farm Account for the past year and I do not intend to give you any figures in this report. We have aimed at keeping our farm, livestock and imple­ments up to the standard of past years as well as keeping our buildings in repair. We have therefore added new livestock to replace that gone for various reasons, and effected necessary repairs on the buildings. It is generally under­stood that a more modern barn than the one now in use is needed and we believe that the newly elected Farm Committee will derive 'va ys and means to make a start in this direc­tion.

The rna tter of pasture for our cows has be­come a problem since the Housing Corporation are putting their building programme into ef­fect. Land we had rented from the Corpora­tion l~as been occupied, but we have arranged with the Land Development Division to have them clear about ten acres this coming Sum­mer, which will take care of our needs by the SLimmer of 1953.

The Farm supplied the Orphanage with mil1< and vegetables with no cash returns while any surplus products were sold to outsiders. By doing this, we have taken care of all operating costs and made considerable in capital assets. In addition to what I have said our Farm is a means of training the senior boys in dairy farming and mixed general farming. If a trac-

9

tor and truck could be added to the imple­Jnents of the farm, I believe it would greatly increase production and, at the same time, give the senior boys a greater incentive to remain at that type of work.

Where so many have helped it may seem out of place to single out anyone in particular, but I would like to express special thanks to the Women,s and Men,s organizations of the City Parishes; to the Guide Captain, Miss Jean Mur­ray, who has taken care of the training of the Guides and Brownies, and for making possible the Gt1ide Camp at Brooklyn, to Mrs. John Templeman and Mrs. Heber Gosse for training the girls in singing; Miss Helen Campbell for instruction in Art Needlework; the Orphaeus Gro11p who quietly throughout the year made articles of clothing for the girls. Also to Cap­tain Ralph Noel for corning weekly to train the C.L.B. Lads and to the Honorary Physician, Dr. J. Tolson Smith and to Dr. Harry Roberts; also to the Honororary Dental Surgeon, Dr. M. F. Hogan, as well as the Medical Officers of the Department ~of Public Health for the ·Care of the children,s teeth, ears, eyes and for X-rays, and, finally to all the friends who in various ways have helped the Orphanage I express very sincere thanks.

Respectfully Sl_Ibmitted,

GEORGE GREENLAND, General Manager.

HONORARY TREASUREKS REPORT FOR SUBMISSION TO ANNUAL MEETING OF

CHURCH OF ENGLAND ORPHANAGE

31st;) May;) 1951.

I very much regret that I am unable to submit a Balance Sheet for the year ended 31st December, 1950. The Accounts I have are only in draft form and our Honourary Auditors have not had time to complete their audit owing to pressure of other work.

I submit herewith a Revenue and Expendi­ture Account subject to audit. I am of the opinion that it presents a substantially correct pict1_1re of the year"s operations. The audited statement will be submitted as soon as it is com­pleted.

The total Revenue for the year, exclusive of the Farm Account, was $29,752.97 and the total Expenditure was $35,491.91, leaving a balance of $5,733.94 excess of Expenditure over Rev­enue.

Details of Revenue and Expenditure are as follows: I have shown the 1949 figures in brackets for comparison.

The Farm accounts have not yet been com­pleted. From figures submitted, I am satisfied that the Farm had a successful year. At the end of 1950, the Bank Account for the Farm

13

was some $2,500.00 in credit. However, until the Farm Account is completed, I feel it is only right to include in the general expenditures the $3,507.50 which is the value of milk, vegetables, etc. used at the Boys and Girls Departments.

CoLLECTIONS

It will be noted that Donations for 1950 are less by $1,057.83 than in 1949. The response to appeals from the Outports was very gratify­ing. A much larger number of Parishes and Missions subscribed and the amounts received from them was considerably higher than any year in the history of the Orphanage. The col­lections in the City were disappointing. I give it as my opinion that it is much better to collect in the City by personal solicitation rather than by collections taken up in the four Parishes, as had been done in the last two years.

ENDOWMENT FUND

Early in the year (13th January, 1950) $27,.500.00 was borrowed from the Fund to liquidate the ovedraft at the Bank of Montreal. It is to be hoped that increased financial sup·­port will succeed in making Revenues exceed Expenditures so that the Fund may be reim­bursed for the amounts loaned.

During 1950 tl1.e Orphanage has received Bequests from the following-Estate Benjamin Colley 1st Installment­$10,000.00.

14

(A second and final installment of $2,500.00 was received too late for inclusion in the Royal Trust Company,s Statement and will appear in the 1951 Account)

Estate Levi A. McCuish........ . . . . . . . . . ....... $200.00 During the year we received the first distri­bution of $258.82 from the Eastern Trust Com­pany from The Peel Charities Trusts. This Trust was set up under the Will of the late Thomas Peel. From the statement of the East­ern Trust Company, I gather the Orphanage is to receive one-sixth of the Interest on a Fund of approximately $40,000.00.

GENERAL CoMMENTS

I hope that the practice of publishing an Annual Report will be resumed and that one will be sent out to our friends and supporters as soon as the audited 1950 Balance Sheet is re­ceived from our Honorary Auditors. The last Annual Report was sent out in 1940.

The financial support afforded the Orphan­age of late years has increased over what it was in pre-war years, but is not keeping pace with the rise in operating costs. Unless the gap be­tween Expenditure and Revenue is closed, the time will come when we shall have to close our doors to the Orphan and the fatherless. It must be considered highly undesirable to be forced t~o take from the Fund which was created to in­sure continuity of operation. We should not count on Bequests in the future replacing the

15

sums taken from the Endowment Fund. At the time this report is written, we have an overdraft with our Bankers of about $8,000.00. ·

Finally, I should like to express my thanks for all the assistance rendered to the Orphan­age and to me as Honorary Treasurer by so many friends. We are also very grateful to all those ladies and gentlemen "vho work so hard for the success of our Garden Party and for all those who have assisted in our various collec-­tions. The keenness of the members of our Board of Managers should result in improving tl1e financial position.

The work of caring for our orphans is of national importance and the Orphanage is one of our oldest charities in the community and surely one of the most deserving.

Thanks are due to our careful Manager and his loyal staff. His book-keeper Francis Rowe is keeping the books and working for us without remuneration.

We have reason to be very grateful to the members of our Ladies Committee for their general interest, work and supervision and to the men who put in very useful work on the Policy and House Committees.

We are also grateful to our Honorary_ Aud­itors, Messrs. Read, Son, Watson and Leith.

Respectfully submitted,

ERIC BOWRING:> Hon. Treasurer.

HONORARY TREASURER,S ~EPORT;J 1951

It is my pleas tire and privilege to present to you my first report as Honorary Treasurer. As Mr. Eric A. Bowring, C.B.E., continued in this capacity 11ntil July of 1951, my efforts were confined to les than half of the period reported upon.

I find myself in exactly the same position as my predecessor was this time last year. I am unable to present audited accounts for 1951. The Audit for 1950 was not completed until January of 1952. Tl1e Orphanage accounts for 1951 have not yet been completed and the Farm Accounts have not been started. In any event, it may be late in 1952 or early 1953 be­for our Honorary Auditors find it possible to audit our 1951 accounts. I therefore submit a Revenue and Expenditure Account subject to audit. While an audit may disclose differences in detail, I believe the figures will give a cor­rect understanding of the results for 1951 as compared witl1 1950.

The foregoing shows a surplus of Revenue over Expenditure for the calendar year 195.1 of a little over $1,600. There may be some ad-

32

justments necessary when the accounts are audited and some payments on 1950 account are not iilcluded. The Overdraft on Current" Account as of December 31, 1951 was a little over $4,000. The audited accounts for 1950 show a deficit of $557.59.

COLLECTIONS

The increa~t in donations for the year as compared with 1950 was $4,011.08. This is most gratifying. In an attempt to wipe out the current ovedraft and set up a surplus for operat­ing expenses, it is suggested we work for a similar increase in 1952.

GENERAL CoMMENTs

The costs of operation l~ave increased so much during the war and post war years, that at first glance, our expenditure appears to be altogether out of proportion in comparison with 1938. Actually, costs do not appear to be much out of line with the cost of living index as the following percentages indicate: Salaries and Wages 203% above 1938, Food 157% and Heat 230%. For every dollar expended in 1938, 25c. was used for salaries, 30c. for food and 9c. for heat. In 1950, we used 32c. of every dollar for salaries, 29c. for food and 13c. for heat.

In reviewing the costs of operation, one question is paramount: Are we getting value for the money expended? I believe we are for the most part. There may be one operation for which the answer is in the negative.

As I understand it? the present policy was laid down in 1937. Briefly, it was to give the boys the best education possible up to the age of 15 years and then for 3 years they were to recei\'e basic training as farmers and carpent­ers. A vocational training scheme in Carpentry was set up, some valuable tools and equipment purchased and a carpenter engaged and added to staff. The idea was that boys would learn the trade of a carpenter by worki:Q.g in the workshop or become farmers by working on the farm. The girls were to receive practical training in useful handicrafts and household

34

science. To give effect to this policy in 1937, the Government was approached and the grant allowed for boys and girls up to the age of 18 years. The age limit was raised from 16 for boys and 17 for girls to 18 for both. The ar­rangement intended to give the children three full years for their practical training.

As all of us must realize the above policy has been allowed to lapse without a definite re­vision taking place. The workshop has become a productive enterprise which loses money. It is doubtful if any of the boys are interested in learning the trade of Carpentry. In short, the Vocational Training centre in carpentry at the Orphanage has become a place where an at­tempt is being made to produce revenue for our funds.

In my view, therefore, it is necessary not only to revise our policy in regard to Vocational training but also to ·consider whether ·or not the age limit of 18 is a good thing in present cir­cumstances.

Under the Canadian set up, we are re­quired to file a great deal of information and statistics with the Dominion Bureau of Statis­tics. It would not have been correct under the circumstances prevailing to show the Workshop as part of the Educational programme. We had to show it as a 4:Cproductive enterprise,, along with the farm. The farm definitely comes with­in the meaning of the description but, as the

35

workshop showed a deficit of $1,251.98 for the year 1950, it is doubtful if it can be so described. -.i recommend that the time has come to con­sider carefully whether or not we are justified in continuing its operation.

I presume that under the present system of special committees the Honorary Treasurer should confine himseH to finances only. The comments included here are given because of the effect changes would make to the funds of the Orphanage without detriment to the well be­ing and happiness of those under our care.

REPORT OF COLLECTION COMMITTEE

I have pleasure in submitting to the friends and suporters of the Church of England Or­phanage, a report on the activities of the col­lection committee appointed by the Honorary Chairman in September of 1951.

The Committee consists of the Hon. Chair­man, Han. Treasurer and Mr. J. G. Mercer, a member of the Board of Managers. No meet­ings have been held as the collections for 1951 were all organized and going well before the committee was appointed.

The Hon. Chairman, Mr. P. E. Outerbridge, organized and distributed the appeal and en­velopes for the ~~Orphanage Week Collection~~ again in 1951 as he h.as done in recent years. He did a thorough and painstaking job and enjoyed the co-operation of most Parishes and Missions. Many people in the 0"LitptoTts availed of his in­vitation to send contributions direct to the Treasurer. The collection was the most success­ful one to date, over $9,400, having been re­ceived from the 011tport people. As noted by tl1e Han. Treasurer in his report for 1950, the envelope system does not seem to obtain the results expected in St. John~s. The total for the 4 City Parishes was $1,020.73.

Mr. l. G. Mercer has done a fine job with his ccOrphanage Gift Boxes.'> He distributed some 200 boxes late in 1950 and by Dec. 31, 1951, the sum of $815.44 had been received

37

from this source. Mr. Mercer is continuing this effort which, in my opinion, is very worthwhile from the point of view of educating people to think daily of others as well as for its welcome addition to the Funds of the Orphanage.

The Hon. Treasurer with the approval of tl1e Hon. Chairman continued and expanded an effort started by Nlr. E. A. Bowring, C.B.E., some years ago. A special appeal was mailed to 335 firms and individuals. Most of the reg­ular subscribers who did not send in their do­nations were called upon by Nlr. Outerbridge and a few were contacted by Mr. Mercer and the Treasurer. Over $5,000 was collected by tl1is means.

Total collections in 1951 amounted to over $17,000. Outport collections showed an increase over 1950 of over $800, while City receipts showed an increase of a little over 3,400. The list of donations and subscriptions is now too lengthy-over 1,400 names-for inclusion in the Annual Report as was the custom in the past. However, every donation received from a Par­ish, Mission, individual or firm was acknow­ledged by letter by the General Nlanager or the Hon. Treasurer. Lists were also published from ti1ne to time in ~~The Diocesan Ma~azine,,, ccEvening Telegramn and ~~Daily News.,

Your Committee "viii be seeking your co­operation and assistance in 1952 in a plan of personal and organized solicition of our City Church people.

38

In expressing my grateful thanks to my colleagues, Mr. Outerbridge and ~1r. Mercer for their assistance and co-operation, I should like on their behalf as 'veil as my own to thank all tl1ose who contributed to the Orphanage during the year under review. A special word of gratitude and appreciation goes to the Clergy, Church Wardens, Teachers and individuals who gave us full support and co-operation. Many of them organized house to house collections in their t~owns an·d .settlements. We also apprec­iate the action of many people in places where no collection could be received in church or where the collection had been taken during their absence who sent in their envelopes direct. 'The Board of Managers will want to join us in thanking each and all who by their contribtt­tions have helped in the work of caring for the children in our care.

Respectfully submitted,

CLAUDE E. DA WE,

Hon. Treasurer.

AN APPEAL

This R~port shows how great the need is for the Orphanage to extend and better its service:J and how urgently it requ,ires tlte financial support of our Cl1urch people.

The Orphanage is the established agency for the charitable and Christian service of caring for cc:the orphan and the fatherless~>. It is a home for these young boys and girls who have suffered the greatest loss that can come to a child, and whose families and relatives are tinable to care for them.

It is at the same time the agency through which we who are more fortunately situated can individually aSSllme our share in a common responsibility and join with others in helping tl1ose who are u11able to help themselves.

The Orphanage serves the entire Diocese. It is a fact a part of every Parish and ~1ission, and every Parish and Mission should play its part in Sllpport of the Orphanage. Is your Par·ish doing its full part?

The Orphanage is a Church Charity. Is ·it askiTtg too rrtuch that one collection each year in every Pat··isll Chttrch be set aside for the support of the Orpltanage-t:t:the Church;,s open door to the orplzan and fatl-Lerless;,~p

The Orphanage is a Christian Charity. Is

53

it not the plain duty of every Christian to help these children who cannot help themselves? Eve1·y Churchman and woman throughout the Province should help the Orphanage according to ltis or her means. We cannot all give alike in amounts, but if we all give according to our means we shall be meeting our individual re­sponsibilities and joining equally in a very deserving and worthwhile work.

We know that there are many demands tlpon your pocket book, and appeals to your sympathy and generosity. Can xou find a Charity and work "-'hich is more deserving of your sympathy and financial support?

Donations sent by mail should be made out to •cThe Church of England Orphanage,, and sent direct to the Orphanage.

ln making your donation think of what it will purchase in terms of giving these boys and girls a helping hand in life. The need is great. The opportunity to help is yours. Be generous.

CCAnd now abideth faith:J hope:J cJ-tarity; these tl1ree:J but the greatest of these is clta·rity.,,
