The „matter of selling the” °$260,-
000 debenture tissue for the addi-
tion to GDOI was left with the
finance committee with power to,
.act,
A Mr. Hughes from J. L. 'Graham
& Co., was "tiresent at the meeting
and said .his firm.- was ready to
make an attractive offer for the
debenture issue if council would
consider making a direct deal
rather than calling for tenders.
The practice in the past has
;been to call for tenders, and some
caupcillors were reluctant to de-
part from that ,,procedure. Mr;
Hughes urged council not to delay.
`,`Quite frank1L" he said, "in our
opinion; as Soon- as one major
issue comes along to test the
market, it will drop off again."

dent, Mrs. A. T. Lamb; conducted

comed the .guests present from,th'd
Kintail Women's Institute and sev-
eral visitors from the local com-
munity.
"The; secretary, Mrs. Jas, Horton,
announced that the Institute would
be divided intofour groups for the
rest of the year. These groups,
headed by Mrs. Ralph Jewell;; Mrs.
Girvin Young, .Mrs. Clive Allin and
Mts. ,Be,a1,,,Chisholm, 'were formed
fairly close to their districts and
it is 'hoped that through them,
interest in meetings and other W.I.

under the direction of Miss Jean
Glen, Mrs. ,D. McNeil, Mi -s. B
Young and Mrs. R: Bean ,with help
from various. other members. Work-
ing space 'was; greatly facilitated
by the building of shelves'and cup -
•boards by Mr. G. McNee, An 'elec-
tric stove, new curtains,and a new
paint job completed the renov-
ations. Thanks were. tendered to
the' council who helped .with the
heavy wiring, etc.
R was decided to accept the
Federation of Agriculture's sug-
gestion that the Institute be re-
sponsi,hle. for serving supper to the
Federation at their church service
arid picnic supper to be held at,
the Goderich Summer School..» '
Roll .call .for the meeting was
"Custom from aForeign Land."
Members not answering this were
fined the sum of 10e, The "An,
niversary Box" was passed around:
Each month those wild celebrated•
a wedding anniversary , in the past
month would put in a penny for
every year married. Proceeds
from this would go to provide a
Oyer for the Tweedsmuir Book,

Mrs. Tait Clark took charge of
the program. She first read an
article on the United Nations and
this was followed up by inform -1
ation given by Mrs. Ray Moore on
the education program 'sp"onsored
by the U.N., of the illiterate pod
pies of the world. Mrs• Lloyd ;
Young gave a reading about our
New Canadian children contribut•
ing so much to our country.
A highlight of the program was
the talk given by Mrs,'Van der Lay,
of the Kintail district, a New Can-
adian, who left her native Holland
'with her huyban.d..aa.n.d family to.
find a new • life in our 'country.
She based her talk chiefly on the
customs Of, -Holland in- comparison
to our country. She illustrated
her . talk with articles .from' Hol:
land, beautiful wall tapestries, a
blanket, pictures, etc., .which " gave
the ladies a clearer idea of• her
homeland. Several tried out the
Wooden shoes which many Dutch
people still use around the farm
in this country. •
The audience noted with interest,
that the house andbarn are "in
one" an a. Dutch farm. The stable
'gide is kept spotlessly clean and a
little window at the and of each
cattle stall, has 'a curtain the same
as the ouae "Dutch .weddings;'"
said -Mrs. Van der Lay, "took place.
at' the Town Hall." Some couples
,,would then go to the church to
receive blessings and then follow-
ed a reception to which all their
friends and neighbors came to
wish them've1l and which lasted
until "the early hours of the morn-
ing. There is no honeymoon
Everyone goes to work as usual
the next day.
Thanking the speaker, Mrs. .R.
Buchanan pinned on her a corsage.
