The Board, a voluntary group of lay people, have accepted the responsibil- ity of carrying out that dedication as devotedly and wisely as they can.

In the unavoidable absence of the Presi- dent, Mrs, Stewart Rodman, Vice- President, took charge of the meeting. Before taking up any items 'of busi- ness Mrs. Rodman welcomed several new members whom we were very glad to have with us. Owing to poor road conditions, snow- storms, etcetera, we have been unable ing publicly several donations given us by our friends. First we would like to acknowledge the candy given us by Maybelle Re- bekeh Lodge at Christmas time for the patients in the Hospital. This con- tribution was indeed a help to us and very much appreciated. We also wish to acknowledge the following contributions towards the Doll Festival: Nurses, Community Memorial Hospital ......

We are happy to announce that the Auxiliary has a new library convener in the person of Mrs. J. C. Whitby. From now on the reading require- ments of the patients will be well taken care of. As has been our custom in years past we shall see that no patient's room is without flowers over the East- er week-end, and we shall also see that the Easter Sunday dinner trays are at. tractive with special servicttes, favors for the adults, and baskets of candy for the children. We thought we had provided all the green linen necessary for the operat- ing-room for some time to come; how- even, several additional articles were needed, so the women are making these as well as providing other items which are necessary. Very soon you will be hearing once again about the Penny Draw, our us- ual summer project for raising funds. We shall try to have the prizes even more attractive than ever, and might just say that any assistance which may be given us in the way of money (or prizes) will be most acceptable. Mrs. D. Crozier and Mrs, Wm. Chap- man have been delegated to buy the prizes, but Mrs. Dymond or Mrs. Rod- man would be glad to accept contri- butions towards this project from any of our friends. The Auxiliary very seldom serve re- freshments at their meetings, but we went "sort of all out" at the March meeting and had a very enjoyable so- sial half hour after the business had been transacted. We talked about the need to cut down on colories while thoroughly enjoying hundreds of them. Easter Suit Draw Winner The Lions Club Bingo and Suit Draw on Saturday evening had a lot of competition in the area and only a very small crowd attended.

Annual Meeting Four years ago last November the Manchester Credit Union was start- ed. Twenty enterprising people in the district provided the funds and applied for the charter from the Pro- vineial Government and the Federa- tion of Agriculture.in Ontario county fostered and promoted the movement which held its annual meeting early in March in the Myrtle hall. Over seventy members attended the meeting and heard the annual report of savings in this group amounting to cighty thousand dollars and depo- sit accounts of approximately half that amount, Mr. Lloyd Smith read the report of the board of directors and informed the membership of th. board's recommendation that a three percent dividend be declared on all share accounts. These share accounts are also covered with life insurance which in most cases double the ac- counts in case of the death of the member. Mr. John Hamer reported for the credit committee that 152 loans were granted- during the year totalling 187,000 dollars. Loans were granted for a great variety of reasons but mainly for farm equip: ment and supplies and home improve- ment. Mr. Gordon Corner reported for the supervisory committee that his committee were in constant touch with the credit union books and found everything in order. Mr, Rheyber- gen was introduced and the meeting was informed that he was now doing part time accounting for the co-oper- ative. Mr. Corner reported that there had at no time been any need to cancel a loan or to call on the guarantee fund to pay a loan. Sev- eral loans were paying penalty inter- est but payments were generally in order. It was noted again that sick- ness and lack of employment were the only two reasons accepted by the group for non-payment. Mrs. Hamer, president of the Man- chester Credit Union who chaired the meeting called on all members to start an "add-a-Member" campaign. The value of the credit union in the community cannot be estimated" said Mrs. Hamer, "consider the members who enjoy the security of having $140,000 doubled in case of death, and $187,000 in loans also covered ga they would be cancelled in case of death and you have a tremendous influence for good. Then you must consider the asset of all this money working in the community for the good of this community. You must consider the children growing up in the credit Manchester Credit Union union knowing that when the day comes and .they must establish' them- selves in the business world the credit union will be behind them. There are three hundred and fifty members in our credit union and there are a thousand families in this community who would ire times as well off if they were fnembers, it is the duty of each one of us to at least let them know how good it is to have a part in the Manchest® Credit Union." Mr. Joe Best of Co-op Credit So- ciety was guest speaker for the meeting. He elaborated on the co- op movement in Ontario, credit unions and family financing in particular. Following his talk he ansivered ques- tions for the membership at some length. Mr. Russell Rodd catered for the coffee break and a social hour was enjoyed. W. I. Display Rugs at Uxbridge UXBRIDGE LEGION HALL Plan to attend! In October, 1958, c¢leven Women's Institute branches in Ontario County sent a Leader and assistant Leader to the Local Leader Training School for "Rugmaking", given by the Home Ec- onomics Service Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. This was a two day school. Experienced rug- hookers grained experience in how to perfect their work, and beginners learned the fundamentals of "Rug- making." Patterns were original de- signs. ~The cffectivenass of colour and design, dyeing, and material for hooking, were all phases of this craft shown to the leaders. The Leaders and assistant Leaders returned to their respective communi- ties and organized a local group for "Rugmaking". This project has now been completed, and all the groups in Ontario County will exhibit their rugs at the Summary Day, April 8th. This Summary Day is held in order that the ideas acquired are put into practice; to see how other groups put their ideas into practice, and to have an op- portunity to share the project with the public. ; An open invitation is txtended to all to attend the Ontario County Sum- mary Day- for "Rugmaking", Uxbridge Legion Hall, 'Uxbridge, on April 8th, at 1:30 p.m. 'Port Perry Fi ure Skating Clu SKATING CARNIVAL - Friday Evening - April 3 .
