for Pancake Day
Ten ladies gathered at the home
of President Joan Smith for the
legislation meeting of the Ethel
Women’s Institute.

handled as it was read. An invita
tion was received from the Gorrie
W.I. to attend a Fun Day on March
16 at 1 p.m. Jean Fraser is to look
after the attendance arrangements
for Ethel.
A lengthy discussion was held on
the upcoming Pancake Day at
Maple Keys Sugar Bush on Sun
day, March 19. Barbara Grube is to
chair the committee and get as
many helpers as she requires. It
was decided that the April 3 W.I.
Euchre profits will be sent to the
district coffers. All members are to
help and donate the prizes.
The March meeting is to be on
farm safety and members were
asked to invite the general public.
It was decided to hold an open
meeting at the Ethel hall.
