This was not the first get-together since since June, however, as a successful family barbecue was held at the Conservatio i Area early in August and the members met August 25 for a delicious potluck supper, at the home of Rekha Kalokhe, to celebrate Beginning Day. The roll call question, "What do you think a true woman is?" set the stage for, a provocative program presented by Linda Meade from the new program book Heritage and the Woman. Linda first talked briefly about several modern women from different walks of life who have influenced the way women are thought of and treated today. She then had each member privately fill out, for per- sonal enlightenment, a questionnaire dealing with her own values and goals. The business, part of the meeting covered a wide area as all the committees reported on their plans for the year.' Lois Fitzgerald, service chairman, men- tioned that the local chapters will help with advertising for the Terry Fox run. Members signed up to work in the Hospital Gift Shop. Ways and means chair- man, Ann Adams, asked. members to save IGA as well as Zehrs tapes and discussed plans for a Creative Circle party to be held September 15. Marj Dobson went over the social calendar and planned an outing to a movie this month. Brenda Rutledge graciously volunteered to act as chapter librarian, in- cluding keeping committee plans and records and also program ideas from previous years. President Vivienne Roy announced this year's Beta Sigma Phi contests and Rekha Kalokhe was chosen to represent the chapter in the International Valentine Queen contest.

Six members of the after- noon unit had attended the visitor's day at the Alma Col- lege School for United Church Women and were greatly impressed with the message from the guest speaker, Rev. Maurice Boyd. It was interesting to learn that the sum of $12,000 had been sent to purchase seeds for underprivileged countries from the United Church of Canada overseas relief fund. The day proved very, educational and • spiritually uplifting for the busload of ladies who attend • - ed from churches in this area. Dorothy Marquis introduc- ed Miss Ida White, the guest speaker who is home on leave from India. Miss White has been a missionary under the Presbyterian Church and has served in India for 29 years.
