Handcraft work and papier mache splints were on display. Goods from the Pedlar Box were offered for sale, and a bring-and—buy stall did brisk business.

Miss Kane (Dominion President) had requested that at the November meeting every member contribute a penny for the A.C.W.W. funds, and this was heartily supported.
