The knittihg of peggy squares brought forth keen competition, Mrs. Strom 'being the lucky one and winning Mrs. Spiers special prize for knitting the most squares. Mrs. Grant was making a quilt for a child's cot with some of the squares. A bundle of books was brought for the Levin Farm. A report was given of a card party held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Johnson which was well attended and brought in quite a good donation to the funds for parcels for England.
