Mrs. D. J. Lane, presided and the minutes of the previous meet- ing were read by Mrs. A. Haddy. In the absence of the secretary, Mrs. H. C .Lawson, the treasurer's statement was presented by Mrs. Douglas Bartliff, for the treasurer, !Mrs. Reg. Bali. Mrs. Harry McIntyre, convener } of the sewing committee, distrib- uted a large number of sheets and pillow slips to be hemmed by the members, Mrs. A. Haddy reported a con- siderable number of dressings and surgical Supplies had been made for the use of the hospital. New Project Planned Miss W. O'Neil informed the Auxiliary that it was impossible far her to continue the convenor - ship of the Fail Sale. As no sub- stitute could be obtained to con- vene the annual sale it was mov- ed by Mrs. Bulteel and seconded by Mrs. M. D. McTaggart that a Fun Month of games of any kind, teas of any description, or any other form of fun be held instead, in October, closing with a Giant Home-made Bake Sale. A com- mittee consisting of Miss O'Neil, convener, Mrs, A. J. McMurray and Mrs. Bulteel, volunteered to take charge of "Fun Month" and Bake Sale. Mrs. Douglas Bartliff reporting for the membership committee stated that 446 had joined the aux- iliary. Bills amounting to $293.50 were ordered to be paid. These were payments for a tray carriage and an infant's incubator, both of which were displayed for the ben- efit of those present at the meet- ing. • Mrs. Lane, the president, stated that she had been .informed that there had been some reluctance by a few women to join and serve in the Auxiliary because of apparent sufficiency of things already done by the Association, but that she would like to remind all such that all forms of hospital equipment in- cluding mattresses, beds, electrical appliances and many other things are constantly wearing out and need replacement. She added that the Women's Auxiliary is not concerned witn Iegacies left to the Board, but is concerned primarily with equip- ping the hospital with modern ap- pliances, and that all these are very expensive. Therefore there is need of as many helpers as pos- sible to maintain our hospital at the highest point of efficiency, A beautiful blanket donated lc the hospital by the Tuekersmith Ladies' Club was on display. Miss Sinclair served a cup of tea, the president pouring. Mrs. Haddy and Mrs. F. Fingland assisted. Prompt Service. r Guaranteed Work BOB WEEKS, Radio & Sound.

CLINTON WOMEN'S INSTITUTE HOLDS "APRON PARADE" The president, Mrs. C, Sturdy, presided at the Clinton Women's Institute on Thursday, February 26, when about 60 Iadies of the community showed by their pres- ence, that they were interested in the demonstrations and apron par- ades planned for the afternoon. The meeting opened with the singing of the Institute Ode and repeating the Mary Stewart Col- lect and the Lord's Prayer. The minutes were read by the secretary, Mrs, H, Managhan, and approved. Mrs. N, Shepherd gave the treasurer's monthly statement. Correspondence and bills were read by the secretary. Plans were made to send two delegates to the Of- ficers' Convention at Guelph early in May. An invitation from Blyth Wom- en's Institute was accepted, and plans were made to go to Blyth on March 5. Several thanked their Sunshine Sisters. Plans were made to piece a quilt in the near future. Mrs. N. W. Trewartha, a mem- ber of Clinton WI has recently be- come a life member. A donation was voted to the Overseas Flood Relief. Mel Crier', representing the ' Clinton Town Council, spoke to the ladies, seek- ing their co-operation in renovat- ing the town's Rest Room. A com- mittee was appointed to consult with the council, on what is re- quired. Mrs. T. Leppington gave a splendid motto on the fifth verse of the Mary Stewart Collect: "Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid." An apron parade followed, when 16 ladies donned their tea aprons, and paraded before two judges (visitors from the audience—Mrs, G, Cantelon and Mrs. W. Lobb) . Mrs. D. Freeman won the prize for the fanciest tea apron. Then ten ladies donned coverall aprons, and paraded before the judges; Mrs. Jenny Wise won the prize for the "neatest fitting coverall ap- ron." Adding spice to the parade was Mrs. E. Epps who donned a costume of some 50 years ago. She also put on a tea apron and gave a humorous reading. Mrs. E. Radford favored with a piano instrumental. A sewing machine company from Goderich, with Mr. Henderson, general manager, and Miss Parrish as demonstrator, gave a fine dem- onstration of the use for the basic attachments to their machine. Miss Parrish displayed to the ladies the results of her work, as she went along. Judging by the interested audience maybe more ladies will be experimenting to see what can be done in sewing. It was sug- gested that if enough people were interested, a sewing class could be started. At the close of the demonstra- tion two names were drawn; and Mrs. M. Crich won the "Course in Sewing Instruction" and Mrs. A. G. Grigg won a gift from the company. A vote of thanks was extended to all who helped make an inter- esting meeting. The meeting closed with singing "The Queen" and a social hour fol- lowed when Mrs. J. Batkin and her hostess group served lunch. 0 Quilt for.

Present Overcrowding Forces Use of Church Basements These youngsters form the afternoon class of kindergarten children who receive instruction from Mrs, George Falconer. Crowded out of the old school building on Ontario Street, these youngsters, with their teacher, are using make- shift portable equipment in cluttered surrounding with inadequate lighting. The leaded coloured windows of a church, although designed for beauty, were never planned to admit light suitable for proper study conditions. At the right of the picture are the tiny tables at which the little folk do their art work, and to the right of that (not visible) are the play cupboards for staring toys and games. The picture was taken from a spot directly in front of a portable coat rack where the youngsters keep their coats, hats, rubbers, mittens, etc. The entrance to this classroom is down a rather steep and twisty stairway, and when mothers come to pick up their young ones there is no comfortable spot for them to rest until dism[ssal time. Two other churches are gladly playing host to the extra youngsters who can find no room at the Ontario Street School. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is school to Grade 4, taught by Francis Huisser; St. Paul's Anglican Church opens its doors to Grades 1 and 4, and their teacher, Mrs. Jean Munson. These churches have willingly given their accommodation, and made necessary adjust- ments to have the youngsters made to feel as much at home as possible. How- ever, the children are looking forward with great eagerness to the time when they'll go to SCHOOL. Rebekah Lodge Plans 23rd Birthday Party Two names were proposed for membership at the regular session of Huronic Rebekah Lodge No. 306, where Noble Grand Marion Taylor presided.

Sisters Mabel Gray, Betty Stanley and Joy Hicks were appointed to look after the arrangements for this party which will be held after the regular meeting.
