Multi-Cultural Nation by Dr.
P. H. T. Thorlakson:
Page 2, 2nd column, para-

rateness. In the same para-
graph: A combination of re-
taliation, resentment and fear,
the last word was missing.

From the original founda-
tion of the Betel Horne, it has
been the policy of the Board
of Directors to present a re-
port to the Icelandic Lutheran
Synod Sitting in annual con-
vention. In June of last year
the Synod held its final meet-
ing in Gimli and we regret-
fully witnessed the passing of
an organization which served
the Icelandic community for
some seventy years. This or-
ganization, t h o u g h small,
served as a unifying factor of
our seattered Icelandic com-
munities. The members of the
Betel Home Foundation now
wiSh to report to the com-
munity at large, through the
medium of Logberg-Heims-
kringla so that the many
friends of Betel may have a
clear understanding of the af-
fairs of the Home.
The Home at Gimli pro-
vides resident accommoda-
tions for some ninety persons.
An integral part of the Home
is the infirmary which has
bed facilities for twenty per-
sons. Many of the infirmary
patients are chronic cases re-
quiring twenty-four h o u r
care. A matter of concern to
the Board of Directors is to
improve and expand the faci-
lities of the Home. Studies
and plans have been made in
this direction both at Gimli
and elsew'here and presently
a new study of expansion at
Gimli is being made. A report
on these plans will be made
when the studies have been
completed.
The buildings of the Home
are continually being repair-
ed and maintained in a first
class condition.
The DireCtors wish to ex-
press their appreciation for
the loyalty and co-operation
of all the members of the staff
and management for the past
year.
Respectfully submitted on
béhalf of the Board of Direc-
tors.
GRETTIR EGGERTSON,
President.
