her grandmother, Mrs. Gregory, fa-
vored the ladies with two solos,
which were very much appreciated.
Mrs. Beavers then brought before
the union the plans of work for the
unions for the coming year, which
are as follows:
1. The setting aside of a week of
prayer, one day of which 4s to be de-
voted solely to prayer for the success
of the Referendum vote.
2. That a deputation wait on the
Government asking that an instruc-
tor in scientific temperance be ap-
pointed in the Normal and teacher
training schools of the province.
3. That the unions as a whole,
place a ban upon the Hearst publi-
cations, and I, B. S. literature.
4. That an appeal be made for
funds to enable the union to extend
the work of scientific temperance

5. To ask for more rigid censor-
ship of moving pictures, billboards

0. To protest against the issuing
of licenses of any kind that would
tend to promote the use of alcohol
in any form as a beverage,
7, That the Prov. union prepare

general use of the reports.
8. That we work to place more
women on the school boards and in
