institute joined quilt blocks were on display at the meeting it had been a very interesting course and considered one of the best in which the members had par ticipated several members have again agreed to assist in the canvass of the neighborhood in the in terests of the canadian cancer society and mrs c mclntyre campaign chairman delivered the kits to them at the same time a substantial donation was approved from the branch as the furnishings had not arrived at the martin house halton centennial manor mil ton a postponement of the vis it by some of the dublin wi ladies was made a visit in the latter part of march will be arranged if suitable mrs m mccullougb as pre ident of the lady directors of the acton fall fair board re quested the branch to have a quilting display at the fall fair as this is a craft that is slowly passingjnsome neighs borhoods it was thought that as many younger women are not familiar with the work it would make an exhibit of interest to many young and not so young people many older women will be interest ed and will turn back in their own minds when they partici pated themselves a half century and more ago it was considered a very social event when a woman in the neighborhood put a quilt in and invited her friends in to quilt it in the evening the husbands joined them for a 1 social time in the exhibit it is expected that some of the women will be piecing blocks were still under society care for the quilt set up in frames fifty- five private and par- with ladies quilting on it en adoptions were reported the quilt committee are to the society helped 148 moth- look after the details as a special personal cen tennial project george rob ertson had metal supports made for the quilting frames and after finishing them do nated them to

made in improving re lations between the society and other local organisations and agencies dr askwith was pleased to note the help and cooperation he received from individuals and other or ganizations throughout the year the problem of illegitimate child births is on the rise par ticularly in this county but fortunately there is a good supply of adoption homes on the waiting list he said children referred to the society have more serious em otional problems than those of past years and an aunts and uncles type of relation ship may be set up until the disturbed children are assign ed to satisfactory homes it is apparently difficult to find homes for children who re quire only a little more at tention and love than the maiorlty of wards because the toronto metro politan childrens aid societv has a surplus of children and a shortage of homes the hal ton group is sharing some of its homes with the metro so ciety a report from treasurer warren harding staled due to
