r-~"'-.. Rideau Lakes Union LIBRARY RIDEAU REVIEW Shadow of the Moon by M.M. Kaye Set in the 19th century, with the Indian Mutiny as a back- drop, Kaye unfolds her magnifâ€" icent novel with the same style as she did in "The Far Pavilâ€" ions".

Saga of a Wavward Sailor by Tristan Jones - The third book in the trilogy of Jones' personal adventures presents an emotional range as wide as the geographical sweep coverâ€" ed in his travels.

This meeting was a specially planned meeting to interest and inculcate some new mem- bers and it proved most successful. The Ode & Mary Stewart collect were sung and recited respectively. The theme of the meeting was "Agri- culture". In keeping with this, the roll call was answered by naming a new development or process in agriâ€" culture that has aided the farmer and the Motto was "Farming is the most natural, the happiest, the most innocent, the healthiest em- ployment in the world". In keeping with the "Year of the Child" a discussion followed on children helping on the farm. The minutes were read and approved. Our President, Mary Warren, gave the progress on our new kitchen which is most favourable and people have been very generous. A new policy was drawn up revising the old policy of rental of the Hall. The fee has to be raised ow- ing to the high cost of heat and maintenance. Correspondence was read including many compliments on the success of our Area Convention held at Chaf- fey's and hosted by North Leeds A committee to organize our an- nual Christmas party consists of 6 volunteers and they will report back after their meeting. A reading from the Harrowsmith magazine on the section regarding Forfar Cheese Factory was ready by K. Scott. A beautiful poem "A Sigh in the Wind" was read by Janice Cross. Mary Warren gave a most interesting read- ing on the origin of the Women's Institute describing the world wide motto "For Home and Country". Mrs. Laurel Fleming gave a com- plete review of our own branch when it began 55 years ago to present day. Mrs. Thea Dodge gave us a real challenge as to the future of our Institute and we are most anxious for new members. The euchres are to begin and there will be 5 before Christmas. A note of thanks was moved by Mrs. H. Jarrett to our hostesses, Mrs. Glenna Langlois, Mrs. Lola Timpany and Mrs. Judy Tanner assisted by the Executive.Meeting adjourned. peso“ IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The Royal Canadian Legion Rideau Lakes gent. 231) Branch The Annual Remembrance Day Parade was held at the Cenotaphs in Elgin and Portland on Nov. 11th at 2:30 and 3:30 respectively.
