Friendly intercourses by means of social events, lead to a better understanding of the problems whish confront each province. We held nine regular meetings, and have a membership of 27 with average attendance of fourteen. A delightful pot luck supper, one of the members gave a paper on Zurich and the surrounding district, concerning people and places, in connection with which an antique costume parade. was presented. Two lovely gifts were given to the secretary after her marriage. Our district president, Mrs. Glenn, McLean gave a marvelous talk on one of our meetings, she praise Institutes highly for the splendid work they are doing, and urged them to ever be considerate and kind to the young people of the armed for- ces. Miss Olive O'Brien gave two instr- uctive talks on Canada at War, and Current Events. At ,Christmas time she stressed the meaning of Christ- mas and how it is spent. Demonstra- tions have played a large part in Institute work. We had one this year on themaking of fancy sand- wiches. Beginning in the fall we made a quilt at each meeting, for the Red Cross. Thus far we have finish- ed six quilts for which we are truly grateful. At Christmas time our Roll Call consisted of donations for the boys overseas, - which resulted in a good response, during the year donations from the public for 26 soldiers' box- es amounted to $6.10. The proceeds from the lunches served at Red Cross Dances amounted to $19.22. Collect- ions at the .meeting amounted to $4.01. About 700 lbs. of jam were sent to Britain. Mr. Victor Dinnin spoke on Peace and International Relationship. Wom- en's Institutes have a great part to play in striving for peace. If we do not have such in our hearts, homes, and communities, how can we have it amoung the countries of the world. When history as written, may it he recorded that Womens' Institutes were one of the greatest unifying powers of the times. May it. also be said, "They shade the best of things in the worst of times." —Mrs. Newell Geiger, Secretary.

No. 7, GALT, ONTARIO -- Champion Plowman of Ontario, 1942. a,taaia¢ %mftth R—VICTORY BONDS Mr. Brown, who is President of the Central Dumfries Farmers' Club, has competed in 37 plowing matches in the last three years. In these 37 contests he has won 34 First Prizes- and 3 Second Prizes. "Bob" Brown bought Victory Bonds in the First, Second . and Third Victory Loans, and has placed his orr''for -Bonds for the Fourth Victory Loan to the limit of his capacity. When Mr. Brown urges others to buy Victory Bonds his recommend- ation carries weight for he backs his words with action. "Bob" Brown plows a straight furrow and thinks. in a straight line. He knows farmers' problems.. Here is what Bob Brown says about Victory Bonds "If Canadians were asked to give money to help to win the war; 'we would not be asked to make a big sacrifice. Some are giving their lives. But we are asked to lend money. I am sure that farmers throughout Canada will be glad to lend money to their country, for like all other Canadians, they know we roust do all we can to help. "There is a practical reason for buying Victory Bonds, too. The money we lend to Canada now, to help win the war, will be ours to use as we please after thewar has been won. Ready cash will be handy to have when we will want to replace farm equipment that is wearing out now. A farmer can always find a use for savings, and there is no better way to save than by investing all we can in Victory Bonds." ck ps r 4ttack/" 62-4 a' WHAT -A VICTORY BOND IS: A Victory Bond is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half -yearly interest et the rate cf 3% per annum i.ntil maturity. A Victory Bond is the sorest investment in Canada. The entire resources cf tha Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing bonds for 9 i years, and has never fail. d to pay every dollar of principal and interest. A Victory Bon.l is an e.s. t mare readily convertt.i '•eh than any other security. -' DRYSDALE Mr, and Mrs. John Cauott, . of Wallesburg; Mr. and Mrs. Orville Honli and Mrs. Alice Honli of Big Point, spent 'the week -end with their sister Mrs. Leo Corriveau who has been seriously ill for some time.
