The programs at that time were aimed to help young farmers while the;wonien formed a Junior Institute.and had programs for the home- maker. Each had their own meetings followed bey a • joint meeting which was more for socializing. The club was affiliated with county and the provincial organizations. It was 'dis- banded in. 1961.
