WOMEN'S INSTITUTE MEETINGS RESUMED Sixteen members of the Schreiber Women's Institu- te answered the roll call at the September meeting by describing what they liked about this month, and giving donations to a penny auction. Mrs. Annie LeBlanc, of Pinewood Court, former member and Mrs. Edward Lason of Schreiber were welcomed as guests. Mrs. Anne Todesco, who presided, explained that the expected visit of district executive officers had been prevented by a sudden death. Mrs. Todesco's report on the difficulty of getting the appointment of Rich- ! | The yearly program was amusing and a practical ex- ample of the rising costs of printing, among other things. However she had made them herself this time but the suggestion of Mrs. Lois Gilmour to make them was gratefully accepted. Members were gratified to hear that Mrs. Peter Dzioba, a new member had won first prize in the Lakehead Exhibition for her cushion top, an original design marking the 75th anniversary of the W.I. The prize for this will be presented at the Institute Rally on October 19th in Thunder Bay.

Mrs. Tommy Bolan gave a lengthy report on Public Relations = concerning the activities of the W.l. in Schreiber. In January, a visit from the local Doctor's wife, Mrs. T.

In February the party for the town's New Year Baby was held with presentation of the engraved silver cup by the town council and heaped baskets of other gifts; in March a special Irish program was enjoyed; in April there was election of officers and donations were made to the Cancer Cupboard and plans made for the 75th anniversary tea in May.

We can use sets whether or not they are in working order. We hope to be able to collect enough second hand receivers to set up a few for use in connection with our closed circuit system. Anyone willing to donate a set is asked to call 825-3271 We will pick up E.E. Forgues, Principal. enjoyed this summer; Scholarships are presented annu- ally to grade 8 students with the highest marks to both Public and Separate Schools; free memberships to new members are offered this year to mark the 75th anniversary; the Institute co-operates with other organizations at Christmas, particularly, when hamp- ers are packed for those needing them, in other community areas as the need arises. Mrs. Todesco spoke informally of the proposed gift, by Kimberly-Clark of their present hotel in Terrace Bay as a district Home for Senior Citizens - the offer presently under consideration. It would seem an ideal site, for this area, rather than at the Lakehead, with this, older citizens would remain where they can still attend community activities, and enjoy days or weekends, as health permits with rela- tives and old friends and especially frequent visits. : cont'd page 15 ......
