NEWBORO WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Newboro Branch was formed on June 19, 1908 but really had its beginning two years earlier when the late J.R. Darga- vel of Elgin, M.L.A. for South Leeds, sent a copy of the 1906 report of the Ontario Women's Institute to his sister Mrs. William Chamberlain. This report was read by her daughter who was imr pressed by the wonderful possibilities it opened for the educational and social development of Country Women. Mr. G.A. Putnam, Supt. of Agriculture sent out letters and asked for a meeting to be held in Newboro. A hall was secu- red and elections were held: president was Mrs. R.G. Leggett and the Sec. Treas. was Miss Helen Dargavel. The motto was "For Home and Country", the colors "Blue & Gold" and an "Ode and Creed" which is still used. Thirty ladies joined and at one time there were nine branches in Leeds North.
