WI meeting The Public Relations meeting of the Holyrood Women's Institute was held on Thursday at the home of Edna and May Boyle with an attendance of 18. • Pat Livingston, general manager of the Lucknow Sentinel, was the guest speaker, giving a splendid video presentation to show the members how the paper is put together, step by step, on a weekly. basis. Tle presentation was a real eye-opener to ail the ladies present. The weekly advertising, the faithful cor- respondents from the surrounding areas, all the meeting reports, along with the coming events, the classified ads, births, weddings, obituaries, and everything from the front page to the back page, is of in- terest and makes for good reading for many people in the area. The Sentinel is compiled in Lucknow by a capable staff and put together and published at Signal -Star , Publishing in Goderich. Pat explained the duties of each staff , member and had a question and answer period. The subscriber the greatest distance away is Russell Barr of Africa (a former Kinlough native). The Kinlough news is picked up each Monday morning at the Boyle -residence on the sunporch by editor Alan Rivett as the rural mail wouldn't get it to Lucknow on time. The deadline is .10 a.m. here. Pat also left a questionaire for the members to fill in to be returned with Mon- day's Kinlough news. Everyone found Pat's presentation to be very interesting and informative. After hearty applause, Edna Boyle expressed appreciation on behalf of the ladies and presented her with a gift. Following the Ode and Mary Stewart Collect, Doreen Mali spoke of starting a new Day Care -Play School at the new hall and wished assistance from the WI. A donation of was made. Mrs. Harold Smith presided and by INLOUG May Boyle welcomed everyone. The rollcall was answered with "a recollection of something noteworthy in the HWI in the past decade".

A dance and a social evening was also held at the new Holyrood Hall. If everyone didn't have a good day and evening at the new hall, it wasn't the fault of the Miller fami- ly.
