SeVeral items of business were dis- cussed, two of which are of interest to the public. First, the Women's Institute are again sponsoring a "Tag Day" for the Blind-this will be on Saturday, September 28th. The next item is that there will be a Provincial-wide contest •for which prizes will be .given, This contest is to commemorate the fiftieth year of the founding of the Women's Institute. All necessary information will be given at a later date. The main topics of this meeting were slated to deal with Ag- ricultural Canadian. Industries. Mrs. Jas, 'Walpole thrilled us with a descrip- tion of the "Musk-Ox Expedition". This was so much more interesting as it was the actual description written by one of the members of this expedi- tion, D. Armstrong, who is Mrs. Wal- pole's brother. The expedition started from Rockcliffe Park to Fort Church- ill thence to the far northland beyond the Arctic Circle. The journey there and back to Edmonton was by glider and plane but from there they came by train. It's object of course, was to cover the movements of a Moving Force across the Hinterlands of Can- ada. Mrs. Walpole showed us a nat- ural parachute with all its fittings. Apart from a lot of worthwhile ex- periences, two details of Mr. Arm- strong's experiences remain with the reporter-He saw an 'Eskimo woman who, tiring of her husband disposed of him by eating him, no ration book being required. The other item was the very interesting fact that the ex- treme Northern Alaskan Highway is forbidden for travel by women-too extremes of Canadian solicitation for its citizens. Mrs. H. Campbell whose reading ability makes any selection worthwhile read a 'very interesting and educative article on "Ramie". Ramie is a plant native to China and Florida of which almost unbelievable uses are being made and of whose future no one can prophesy or predict. Her reading made one realize how complacently the pub- lic live their little lives, all unmindful of the marvellous strides being made by scientists of our own day, Our alloted meeting time passed so quickly, and, aware of her own, as well as our family responsibilities, at Mrs. DuVal's own request, her ad- dress on Historical Research was postponed. We were very disappoint- but we realize it's a mighty big draw- ing card for the next meeting. We. answered the roll call by nam- ing our first school after which a love- ly luncheon was served. BINGO! BINGO! The Wingham Legion are holding their weekly Bingo every Saturday ev- ening in the council chambers. Good prizes. Proceeds are for Legion pur- poses only.
