The achievements of our own branches were portrayed in a very clever skit in which the characters rep- resented famous people in the story of the Insti- tutes of the province. So much interesting data was gleaned that it was felt it should be perman- ently recorded for the future, and the idea of a district history was born. During the 1957 annual meeting of the District of South Norfolk Women‘s Institutes. the con» vener of Historical Research and Current Events. Mrs. T. B, Barrett, Marburg branch life member and life member of the District, brought forward a motion to promote a contest for “a distinctive cover design," suitable for the medium of leather. wood, bronze or other permanent type material. the winning design, chosen by an impartial judge. to be made into a cover for a “South Norfolk Dis- trict History.“ The motion carried, and Mrs. Bar- rett was named as Convener of a committee to draw up a set of rules and to decide on prizes. At the 1958 “District Annual," the cover de- signs were displayed along with a covering letter from the judge, Mr. C. Bice of the London (Ont) Museum of Art. All were of exceptionally fine workmanship, but the winning design. a semiâ€"con- ventional pattern incorporating Norfolk‘s county flower, the dogwood and leaves, and the Institute crest, submitted by Miss Norah Barrett, was conâ€" 22 sidercd the most sui'ahle for working in [in tr fied heavy media.
