Carswell on agriculture and Canadian industries, and Mrs. W. it. Hamilton on public re- lations and community activities. The secretary‘s report for the year was also given by Mrs. Young, followed by considerable discussion regarding the filling out of the comâ€" plete form sent out by the district secretary. The financial statement was also heard and approved, with the auditors‘ report given by Mrs. M. Stewart. Following the reading of a letter from Mrs. C. D.

To arrange for standing committees, and draft out a program for the year, a committee was appointed consist- ing of the executive, together with two other members chosen by the president. Mrs. J. Scobie had the motto for the month, which was: "We should neverjudge the shape of the world by the little stones that lie in the footpath.” Her talk on | the subject was thoughtful and well prepared, urging that one can live a fuller and happier life by refusing to concentrate on life's worries and troubles, and thinking instead of the trou- bles of others, which sometimes are much greater than one‘s own. The rollâ€"call was answered with favorite flowers, and something of their culture, and 5 humorous reading by Mrs. A. Carswell added to the enjoyment of the meeting Refreshments and a social hour closed a delightful gathering. 20 of 105
