War Brides Special Guests
The regular meeting of the local
Women's Institute was held on Thurs-
day, January 16th: A large attend-
ance, including over twenty guests, was,
present. After the official opening and
before the business portion commenced
the President,Mrs. F, A. Parker re-
gretfully announced the passing of one
of our members. She then welcomed
the guests, twelve of whom were war
brides. Of these, we shall speak. Dur-
ing the business portion it was an-
nounced that $50.00 had been sent to
the Hopdless Memorial Fund; $15.00
sent to Mr. E. Stuckey as winner in the
recent poster contest. The President
also told of numerous sick members
who had ,been remembered.
After the business meeting there was
a splendid, program, The theme of
this meeting was slated to be Social
Welfare,. but then we remembered that
this is January and January 25th is
dear to the heart of every Scot, as the
birthday of Scotland's Immortal Poet,
Robert Burns. So in tribute to our
Scottish members and guests we hon-
oured the memory of Burns by inter-
spersing our program with Scottish
numbers, The Convener of the Social
Welfare Committee is Mrs. Gordon
Ilastie, and she read a very excellent
paper on the evil of drinking, from the
medical standpoint, The B.C.H.P,
business was finished, Mrs. Parker
will receive names of those wishing to
join who are already members• of the
W. I. for six months and for those new
members a new list may be sent in
when they are members for at least
six months, Mrs. Habkirk thrilled us
by exhibiting her handwork in oil
painting, shell work and candlewick
tufting. She showed a beautiful rug
of this work and very kindly explain-
ed its making, cost, and even launder-
ing. Mrs. L. Hiseler, in the absence
of the pianist, versatiley accompanied
herself while she sang the beautiful.
solo, "The Old Lamplighter". The
Scotch numbers were, the singing of
Afton Water, the reading of The Life
of Burns, and the answer to the roll
call by a Scotch quotation. Mrs. S.
Hall 'delighted everyone with a "vera,
vera quid" rendition of "Tam 0' Shan-
ter", Burns' best poem. A special ef-
fort was made to make the lunch time
very informal, during which the young
war brides learned to know each oth-
er and the members ',to know them
much better, They came from Ire-
land, England, Wales, Belgium, Scot-
land, so we feel we have much to learn
from each other. We hope sincerely
that they will ,find happiness ins, their
adopted homeland, In conclusion we
as W. I. members have started some-
thing we must finish. We have told
these girls that they are welcome and
we must make good that statement.
Our latch key and our hand must al-
ways be open to them,
There were 22 new members this
week at the W. I. The following ten
were war brides: Mrs. Broome, Mrs.
Ellacott, Mrs. W. Finley, Mrs. E, Fin-
ley, Mrs. Halle Mrs. Hammond, Mrs.
Harris, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Ross,
Mrs. Stokes,
Note—Because of a. very full pro-
gram, the President omitted to tell
the members that there are several
members sick or at least shut in for
the winter. We have no visiting com-
mittee, we feel every member has a
duty along this line, Please take note,
