And from now on they must dep- end on the various branches sending in bulletins, and urged that these be sent promptly when the event oc- currs. The Mental Health Association sent a request for a donation and mentioned the number of pamphlets they are happy to send on problems which are frequently linked with mental illness.

Reeve Harness presented the silver cup which is given by the township of Schreiber, engraved with the baby's name and the date. Mr. Harness complimented Mrs. Peltier, and warm- ly thanked the Women's Institute who since the trad- ition of presenting the cup, have always arranged the party . Mrs. Peltier had brought along her year - old daughter, nimbly walking about enjoying the party, and, with his usual wit, Mr. Harness added he real- ised he was a bit late, due to business appointment, but, seeing the child walking about, startled him for - he hadn't thought he was THAT late. The cake centering the tea table was made by Mrs. Campbell and decorated by Mrs. Ciemens. Mrs. D' Arcy McGuire won the lucky favor prize.
