Haiti is considered the poorestnation in the Western Hemisphere with six million people living on an island orae -half the size of Nova Scotia. The water is con- taminated and there is very little soil left on the moun- tains as the trees have been cut down. In spite of poverty, disease and deprivation, Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Macintosh said the people of Haiti are very happy and loveable and they always can find something to smile about. A small gift was presented to the ladies from Institute in appreciation. The fall rally will be held at the Anglican Church on Oct. 1 with registration at 9:30 a.m. The meeting closed with the singing of "The Queen" and several games of shoot were enjoyed by all.
