the theme when the Fordwich W. I.

firmative and Mrs. C. Gibson and Mrs.
H. Harris the negative. Mrs. D. Bride
read Mrs. Harris' points. The nega-
tive won by a very small margin.

sided and Mrs. Devitt read the Scrip-
ture. Mrs. C. Sotheran presented the
motto, 'Blessed is she who by her
skills can cure another's ills." It was
decided not to apply for the legisla-
ture grant. Committees were named
