BRUNNER NOTES

(Our Own Correspondent;

Mrs. S. Williams presided at the monthly meeting of the Dobson Women’s Institute which was held in the Taylorville pavillion recently. An apology for absence was received from the President (Mrs. Gibson) who with several other members is suffering from influenza. The' motto for the month was, “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” A: motion of condolence was passed to the relations of the late Mr. R. Glen, all members standing in silence. It was decided to co-operate with other Institutes in the running of a shopday for the Patriotic Fund some time in August. A letter of appreciation from a soldier who had received one of the Institute parcels was read. It was decided to help in the collection of waste paper and old files for reconditioning. Mrs J. L. Hill gave an interesting demonstration of making mops from used wool. She was accorded a vote of thanks. Competitions resulted: Best bush foliage: Mrs .Wootten 1, Mrs. Todd 2; six pikelets: Mrs Gutberlet 1. Best collection of vegetables: Mrs Rodgers, having 26 varieties 1. The roll call was a kitchen hint and it was well responded to. Supper was served by the hostesses Mesdames Gutberlet, Kent and Martin.
