The minutes of the last meeting were,
read and adopted. >
The Fordwich Institute provided the
programme which- was much enjoyed.
Mrs. F. Demerling introduced the
speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Wm.
Demerling, who spoke of her trip, to
Ireland, her homeland. The audience
was hot presented with the ordinary
■travelogue, but were really transport
ed with this charming Irish lady to 'the
spots of beauty that were dear to her
heart. We latchedwith her when she
recalled some of- the humorous parts
of her visit, and we saw, through her
eyes, the beauties of the old castles
‘around Belfast • and- other^ parts of
Northern Ireland:
The roll call for the day was res
ponded to by telling an 'Irish story,
or by giving what you consider a mo
ther’s responsibility to her daughter.
Miss Yvonne Denny favored with a
solo, and Mrs. Demerling conducted
two contests. One was the names of
various roses, which was won by Miss
Jean Fydell, with a prize of a lovely
cup and saucer,; the other was com
posed of lines which were taken from
familiar songs, and was won by Mrs.
Robert Nay, of Fordwich, with a love
ly prize also. A bountiful picnic lunch
■ was served on the lawn, and a pleasant
social hour was enjoyed.
There will no Institute meeting
in August, as has been the custom, but
the- September meeting will be held at
the home, of Mrs. Kane with Mrs.
Hutchison - and Miss Edith Ritchie in
charge of the programme. The theme
for that meeting will be Agriculture.
American Great War Veteran posts
are famous for their novel bands, but
the palm probably goes to the Simp
son Post, of Erie, Pa., with their drum
and bugle band of fifty-seven girls.
They are making their first appear
ance in Canada at the Canadian Nat
ional Exhibition this year.

t
■ is, indeed, a pleasure to greet you and
your bride on this happy occasion. j
Earl, you were always willing to
cheerfully help along with any work
in school or community and we, your
neighbours and former schoolmates,
are glad of an opportunity to show
our appreciation of your goodwill and
friendship. /Although you have been
absent from our community we feel
like this old saying:
Stone and canvas wear and fade,
Times may alter with the change,
But the friendships we have formed,
Like the pearl, remain unchanged.
And to you, Eva, we extend the
friendship of those gathered here and
welcome you in our community. We
are sorry you will not be living among
us but we know you will prove a cap
able and faithful companion through
the years to come.
Please accept these tokens of our
friendship. May they be constant re
minders of your many friendships
here. , |.
