bum Clubjnto her home.
Vera Penfound opened the
meeting with the reading The Man
Who Thinks He Can. She followed
this by a true story of a doctor who
believed that he knew the reason
for too many obstetrical deaths. He
was ridiculed. Later it was agreed
that he was correct so because of
his belief fewer women die in
childbirth.
Ethel Ball then led in prayer.

were read by the secretary as was a
thank you letter from the
Alzheimer Society. The quilt

quilt to them followed but no
definite decision was made.
