Garton were asked to represent the association at the Christmas festivities at the Children’s Fresh Air Home. It was decided to send a donation for the funds of the home. A 14-year-old girl who has never been able to use her arms or hands, and who had exhibited some of the work she had one at one of the association’s demonstrations, sent a letter she had typed with her toe, thanking the association for selling some of her work. The Home Science Department of the University of Otago advised members that Professor A. Q. Strong intended making a tour of the Dominion to make known the scope of the School of Home Science and to discuss the possibility of a more intimate relationship between the school and the community for the benefit of both. Dr. Elizabeth Gregory and Miss Violet MacMillan will accompany Professor Strong, who is expected in Christchurch early in February. It was decided to ask members of the association to attend the public meeting at which Professor Strong will give an address.

In appreciation of the services of the honorary secretary (Miss Bevin) it was decided to present her with a cheque. The president, on behalf of the executive, thanked all who had helped at the various functions, mentioning specially Mrs Kelly and “The Press.” Mrs Richards was accorded a vote of thanks for her services. The 1938 session of the association will commence in February.

AND THE CUSTOMER LAUGHED

In these days, many a substitute is foisted on the unwary. But women who are used to buying for households are not to be deceived. A lady was recently offered a baking powder which she, was told was "as good as Edmonds.” She laughed. She wasn’t going to listen to such a story when she knew that Edmonds—and Edmonds only—is the Baking Powder without any serious rival. Insist on EDMONDS. —2
