KEMPTVILLE HOLIDAY A smaller than usual number of members attended the Eastern Ontario Women’s Insti- tute Holiday held at the Kemptville Agricul- tural School, August 7, 8 and 9. What the group lacked in numbers, however, they made up in enthusiasm. A warm welcome to K.A.S. was given by Miss Ruth Rorke, Director of the Home Economics Department. As hostess of the school, Miss Rorke contributes a great deal to the pleasure of the holiday. Mr. H. Ransome, Department of Horticulture, K.A.S. told of the planned planting of the grounds and in a tour of the greenhouses gave much informal information on soils, cacti and house plants. A tour of the Home Economics Department with Miss Rorke was most informative. Many different kinds of work done by students were shown. Particularly interesting were drapes which had been made for Miss Rorke’s room and a beautifully smocked child’s dress. Mrs. James Haggerty, President F.W.I.O., in her greeting to the members advised them to dress comfortably and just relax, for this was a holiday. In such a friendly and re- laxed atmosphere, members who did not alâ€" ready know the Provincial President, enjoyed getting to know her. A Get Acquainted Talent Party was held the first evening and all members contributed something to the programme. Games which helped to get the group mixed were played. After a session of Community Singing, re- freshments, thoughfully served by Miss Rorke and her stafi, brought a pleasant even- ing to a close. Each morning of the holiday Mrs. Haggerty conducted a short devotional service. Her address each morning was timely and much enjoyed. Wedding anniversary congratula- tions were sung to Mrs. Haggerty on the second morning of the holiday. Mrs. Addie Cardiff also received choral congratulations on the occasion of her birthday. A bus trip to Ottawa and a demonstration in the Department of Fisheries Test Kitchen was most enjoyable. Miss Margaret Myer, Director, welcomed the women to the Depart- ment’s Test Kitchen and Miss Adele McEach- ern conducted the demonstration. Many de- licious fish dishes were prepared, after which all the dishes were sampled by the members. Very welcome on the bus trip were several 24 Mr. and Mrs RC” . . ‘ Ph ' dlrechng choral gmUFK'dj Guelph Holiday members from the Kemptville Women's [m stitute.
