The January meeting of the Women’s Institute was held on Monday after- noon at the home of Misses Belle and Margaret McGirr, with an attendance of thirty-three, despite the weather. The president, Mrs. George Sharp, pre- sided and the meeting opened by sing- ing the Institute Ode, O Canada and all repeating the Lord’s Prayer in un- ison. Letters of appreciation were read from the recipients of Christmas cheer and Mrs. Sneath the convenor, gave a good report. Roll call was answered by naming a person of note and giving a contribution of pickles for the sol- diers at Camp Borden. Mrs. Sneath and Mrs. Mather were appointed a commit- tee to pack the same on Mon. Jan. 12, and further contributions will be great- 1y appreciated. The convenor of the programme was Mrs. Mather, and it was Opened by singing “The Spanish Cavalier” and “My Bonnie”. The subject was “the Life of Winston Churchill, ably given by Mrs. W. B. Patterson oi the South Glenelg Institute. A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Patterson by Mrs. Giles and Miss Charlton . Mrs. Irvin Sharpe sang “The Shores of England” which was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Mather also gave a short paper on “Churchill" by his secretary Miss Phyllis Moir,, outlining more events of his life which also prov- ed interesting. The meeting closed by singing the National Anthem. Miss McComb as accompanist for the meet- Dainty refreshments were served by the convenor Mrs. Mather, Mrs. Peter Hay, Mrs. Alex Smith. Mrs. Moon and Mrs. Collier, assisted by the hostess. Miss Margaret McGlrfr. The February meeting will be held at the residence of Mrs. Sheath and the oonvenor will be Mrs, J. C. Nichol. There is one suggestion I would like to make to you and that is, instead of sending a bundle of goods aboard .1 ship to be distributed, make one small parcel for each man aboard her. Every man would get the same and not first come, first served. 1 hepe you under- stand what I mean. A fireman doesn’t need a helmet “only" from a bundle. Don’t bother making things pretty. If a nice looking pullover came aboard it would probably be used to go ashore in. I am sure you mean these things to keep us warm while we are at sea. Please remember if there is anything I can do for you or your friends, let me know. Wishing you all the best for the coming season, I am, Yours very sincerely. â€"Bobie Hamilton The ski house will be open again this Sunday and let’s hope more sen- ior members will be on hand so we can have a meeting.
