18 attend WI meeting
Lodge meetings resume
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, 18
members and one visitor attended
the first meeting after the summer
break of the Majestic Women's
Institute.
President Edna McLellan opened
the meeting with a reading "Life is
a Funny Proposition."
Everyone repeated the Institute
Ode which was followed by the
Mary Stewart Collect. The June
meeting minutes were read as well
as the minutes of the picnic held in
June. These were read by Secretary
Kathy Bridge.
Treasurer Jean Bell gave the
financial report.
In the conduct of its affairs and in
every phase of its work the
Women's Institute shall be non
partisan, non-sectarian and non-
racial. Al.’ Women's Institutes shall
be operated for the equal good of
all citizens in a democratic manner
to ensure that proper opportunity is
provided for the expression of
opinions and that the rights of a
minority are respected. This is the
policy of the Women's Institute and
one of the areas covered by Public
Relations Officer Peggy Keffer.
She also re-acquainted members
with Mr. Erland Lee and Mrs.
Adelaide Hoodless who together
realized the merit of forming the
Women's Institute. Along with the
great response of the women in the
Stoney Creek-Saltfleet area one
was formed in 1897.
Another important figure in the
Women's Institute is Lady Susan
Tweedsmuir who recommended the
compiling of "Village History
Books" also known as Tweedsmuir
Village Histories.
These people were the basis of
the Institute even before the
branches were formed. Now it's up
to the members to work together to

keep the branches so the District
and Area divisions are able to
continue with the work they do.
Many people everywhere are
touched by the Women's Institute.
Correspondence was read by the
secretary.
New business was dealt with.
Everyone responded to the roll call
of "Any changes needed and a
suggestion for this." Some feel
meetings are too long and suggest
a time limit to speakers, have
executive meetings to cut down on
business or shorten
correspondence.
There was a suggestion for each
member to bring in a new member.
A response that meetings are
ending too late in the day brought a
suggestion to start earlier. As a
result of this the October meeting
will be held the third Tuesday in
October and will be starting at
1:30 p.m.
Happy Birthday and grace was
sung. Lunch was enjoyed by all.
The euchre party is Oct. 7 at
8 p.m.
