Taneatua Women’s Institute Meets

The October meeting of the Taneatua W.I. was well attended and there was one new member proposed. Arrangements were made for the birthday party, which will be celebrated next month. Mrs R. McGougan and Mrs Hayward are the delegates to attend the bi-annual Council meeting to be held at Otakiri.

Very interesting letters expressing grateful thanks for parcels received were read from the link Institute in England. Schedules for the show to be held on November 26 were distributed and are available to anyone interested. It was decided to have a special effort with the funds to go to the school towards a new projector. The date and form of the effort will be arranged later. Birthday posies were presented to five members.

Mrs A. Tebbult gave an instructive demonstration on smocking and passed round samples of her work in different stages. The roll call “A Spring Cleaning Hint” drew forth many bright suggestions for making the work easier and for making a better job. A wall competition arranged by Mrs Merrie was won by Mrs A. Sisam.
