The July meeting of the Walton Women’s Institute started off with a car tour meeting at the hall’ by seven on Wednesday evening then drove to Blyth where another guest was picked up. Not knowing where they were going, members turned right through Blyth over the railroad tracks (somehow the cars got parted), but soon found their way to the first stop at Riverside Aviaries owned by Harm and Irene Thalen, where they were given a tour of all the different animals such as Honeybears, Monkeys, Pheasants, Water fowl, and Exotic Birds of all kinds, some that members had never seen or heard of before. It was quite interesting.

They were met ,by hosts Margaret Sloman and Toby (Sloman) Rainey, who had been with their parents when they taught school and lived in the railroad car up north. When the school car moved from place to place and children could come in from districts such as Malachi, Sioux Look Out, Conmee, Thunder Bay, Fort Frances, Sault Ste. Marie, Chapleau, White River, Toleyete Capreol and North Bay. Members were shown slides by Margaret who gave a commentary as she went along. It was certainly quite a different way to get their education then, than now-a-days. The business part was conducted by Marion Godkin opening in the usual manner. Berva Watson acted as secretary in the absence of Marjory Humphries. All members gave “A tip on how you would protect the environment” for the roll call.

Ruth Axtmann thanked Mar­ garet and presented her with an envelope. Cup cakes were served by Maxine Marks and Berva Wat­ son along with juice and tea by the hostess. DOUG/WTHESLUGS^’ LIVE AT B.
