Comments and Suggestions Kipling: “For one meeting we moved the program up to immediately after the roll call and we found that this works much better than leaving it till the last." Willanerest: “We have had every one of our members taking part in our year‘s work and this has given us a true Women‘s Institute spirit.” Atherton: “More executive meetings should be held in the branches to transact as much of the business as possible, leaving time for inter- esting programs at the regular meetings.“ Woodhouse: “We believe our programs could be improved if the committee would start to prepare for them as soon as the pro- grams are made out, instead of waiting until a few days before the meeting and just gathering clippings to read. More study could be given to the topics and mottoes." lnnerkip asks for “fewer and shorter letters.” Mount Elgin: “The members appreciate the reduction of so many letters and requests. We discarded our budget (for charities) this year to donate to the scholarship fund.” Belfountain Rockside: “By having a lunch- eon precede our annual meeting we have a good attendance.” To increase attendance, Sandhill members “chose sides" as for a baseball game, for a competition to see which side could have the more regular attendance at meetings through the year.

One girl conducted a 3‘ class for all interested members in leathc and Christmas decorations." Fullarton: “Encourage young mothi bring their children. Soft pedal money as as possible. Have more high grade coursesâ€"perhaps some could be done r as a series.” Loehwinnoch: “We feel that there shut two community history books. kept in wt homes in case of loss through fire or placement.” Mitchell Square feels the Institutes shot more to create in their members an inter poetry and music. (If any Institute has anything along these lines we would 1!. have a report of it for the “Special Pro: and Projects” pages in this paper. Ed.) Northbrook finds it interesting to have standing committee convener give a tut ute report at each meeting. Warminster says: “Let’s bring back th meaning of the Women’s Institute as v by Adelaide Hoodless. Let‘s do away u' many forms and so much red tape.“ Slate River: “We have adopted a pol: remembering a member in hospital with . ers, a hospitalized member of her family *- small gift and others of the communit} cards.
