The speaker told of the home life of the artist, who was a native of this district, and of his ambition to be an artist. When a very small boy, he was often found sketching. Since his death his widow, who re­ sides in Toronto, has presented paint­ ings to the Wingham Library, where a plaque has been placed in his honor. Mrs, Thomas Burke presented the current events, both local and inter­ national. Mrs. Wes Newton was in charge of the slogan, “Don’t save all your smiles for the parlor, use some of them in the kitchen.” Read by Mrs. Allan Munro, it took the part of a humorous skit. Mrs. Charles Cathers gave an excellent report of the con­ vention. Mrs. D. S. MacNaughton favored with a reading, “Chicken Every Sunday.” The roll call was answered with a quotation from a Canadian author and brought some choice gems from that field. Members planned to attend the district rally to be held at Lake- let early in November, also the county rally to be held in Grand Bend in November, at which time Mrs. Mc- Phatter, provincial president, will set up the scholarship for Huron County homemaking clubs for which the County of Huron Institutes have sub­ scribed $2,000. The president, Mrs. Herb Patterson, presided. Mrs. Thomas Burke, secre­ tary, presented the minutes.
