Glasgow Women's Institute Book 1 On the afternoon of Hallowe'en the school children had their innings, when they and their teacher, Mrs. K. McIntyre, sponsored a Halloween tea and frolic, to which the la- dies and pre-school children were invited. All reported a delightful afternoon, with games, contests, and a dainty tea served by the pupils. Prizes for the best girls‘ costumes were won by Joan Forrest, as a bride, and Helen Storie, as a balloon. Boy winners were John McNab and George Young, and prizes for costumes of preschool kiddies went to Louis Forrest and Thiry McNab. Among the adult guests, Mrs. C. Hanson and Mrs. J. Russett were awarded prizes for costumes, Mrs. J. Cherry for a contest, and Mrs. T. Hamilton for sitting in the lucky chair. A short program by the school children was a pleasing feature of the afternoon, and a hamper of apples donated by the Glasgow Co-operative created plenty of "appleâ€"bobbing". In the evening the Glasgow Recreation Association took hand in the festivities, and arâ€" ranged for a community social evening in the hall, to which young and old were invited. More colourful and laugh-provoking costumes appeared, and the evening was passed in much carefree hilarity, with games music dancing and a treasure-hunt At this event, prizes were won by Mrs. McLean Russett for the best ladies costume, and by George McNab for the men's, Faye Stewart for the girls' and John McNab far the boys. Billy Hamilton and little Phyliss Kewley were winners of the comedy Prizes were also given for the oldest and youngest folks present, and a lucky number prize, which went to Barr McNab. Another hamper of apples contributed by the Recrea- tion Association, and plenty of cake and sandwiches, concluded a delightful evening. Glasgow Women‘s Institute - Jan. 18, 1950 The "home economics" committee had charge of the program for the January meeting of Glasgow Women‘s Institute, held at the home of Mrs. T. Carswell. An interesting and unique slant was given the topic this time, when the conveners, Mrs. Geo. Eady and Mrs. J. A. Young, dealt more with the housewife herself than with the matter of efficient housekeeping. "Charm and the Housewife,” was the subject of a delightful paper by Mrs. J. A. Young, which stressed more attention to the homemaker‘s charm, personality and appearâ€" ance, rather than giving first place always to the daily round of housework. Mrs. Eady‘s paper followed along the same line, on the subject, "How to add years' to your life.” Mrs. Eady also contributed a short item on "Good housekeeping,” and a pleasing ' poem, "A Nicht wi‘ Burns,” Other items of a Scottish flavor were also introduced into the program, mindful of the fact that the birthday of Scotia's wellâ€"loved bard was close at hand. Mrs. A. Carswell pleased the company with a song, "Our own Rabble Burns,” and Mrs. J. Scobie a short reading, "The Burns touch.” Mrs. R. A. Stewart had the motto for the month, on "The glory of the home is hospital- ity." In a thoughtful little talk on this subject, Mrs. Stewart stressed particularly what it means to young folks to know that their friends will have a warm and kindly welcome to their own homes. The roll call was answered with a display of handwork, which aroused great deal of interest, and a "soap contest", prepared by Mrs. Eady, was much enjoyed, with Mrs. J. Scobie winning the prize. Following the meeting, the host- ess was assisted in the serving refreshments by Mrs. A. Carswell, Mrs. R. Barr, and Mrs. G, McNab. 100f105
