Aberdeen Journal: Saturday 25th September 1937

For Glass and Cabrach: Work of Nursing Association: Tribute to Cause at Sale: Glass and Cabrach District Nursing Association, assisted by the W.R.I., raised almost £31 by a sale in Glass Public Hall yesterday. It was opened by Mrs. P. C. Garson of Craigmore, Huntly. Introduced by Mrs. Pinsent, of Edinglassie Lodge, Mrs. Garson complimented the W.R.I. for undertaking the sale on behalf of a Nursing Association which covered a district where tremendous strain was placed on the nurse and the association. Public services might fail in snowstorms, but the work of nursing associations went on. There was no more worthy cause. Mrs. Duncan of Edinglassie expressed the thanks of all to Mrs. Garson, who received a gift from little Jean McPherson. Stallholders were Nursing — Nurse West and Mrs. Gauld, Auldyne; dairy — Mrs. Duncan, Edinglassie; cake and candy — Mrs. Thomson, Edinglassie, and Mrs. Anderson, Beldorney; teas — Mrs. Mackie and Mrs. McBain; ice-cream — Mrs. Gardyne, Beldorney Kennels. Nurse West expressed thanks to all who had contributed to the stalls and laboured for the success of the effort. A gift was won by Mrs. Shand, Deneath, and Miss Bateson and Master Pinsent, Edinglassie Lodge, also won prizes. The sale was followed by a dance.
