Have you checked your First Aid Kit or Medicine Cabinet lately? If not it is time you did. This was the topic of a most enlightening speech by pharmacist Judy Snider. The meeting was held at the home of Lola Timpany with a very large crowd in attendance. The meeting was preceded by lunch followed by the Ode 8: Mary Stewart Collect. Our speaker emphasized most definitely how careful we should be about the use of drugs, being most careful on Expiry Dates and overlapping of drugs that are similar but with different names. This sometimes happens as a result of doctorâ€"hopping without telling the doctor which drugs are already being used. Drugs should always be kept in a dry place, thus never in the bathroom because of the steam. She passed out many informative bulletins on the various forms of drugs with their contents and - possible side effects. This also brought out some interesting points in our roll call. Kathryn Scott gave an account of the Area W.I. Convention where she was a delegate. Tentative plans were made for our Annual Christmas party for the local residents.

COLUMBANUS C.W.L Instead of a regular monthly we are adopting a new format by alternating Business meetings with meetings or social gatherings conducted by the various convenors. The October gathering took the form of a dinner for the seniors of our parishes. This was held in our hall under the direction of our Social Committee. The tables were beautifully set with Autumn centerpeices and place cards. The program consisted of a humerous roll call, a solo by Capt. T.L. Davis and a singsong led by Kathryn Scott and a few humorous remarks by Father Shea who also donated many interesting prizes which were drawn. This was a first venture of this type and it was most successful. A vote of thanks was moved by J.J. O'Meara to the ladies who arranged it all.
