For Lectures
■Mrs. Sheridan Revington, the
health convenor of the Lucan
branch, with her committee, Mrs.
Jack Lankin, Mrs. Cliff Culbert,
and Mrs. M. H. Hodgins met re
cently to discuss further plans
for the series of health lectures
fdr women by Dr. E. V. Shute of
London, specialist in Gynaecology
and Obstetrics.
It was decided
should commence
April 14 and that
ture should be on
of Life”. At that lecture the
women 'present will be asked to
choose three out of five subjects
for the remaining lectures on
April 30, ’’May 7 and May 14.
It was further decided that
tickets should 'be made to be
sold at $1.00 for the series, well
in advance of April 14 to insure
a large attendance. However, it
was felt that in some cases an
individual-might not find it pos
sible to attend all the lectures
in which case an admission of
35 cents would be charged. Tic
kets for the series may. also be
obtained at the door April 14.
