WOMEN’S INSTITUTE

MONTHLY MEETING HELD

RESULTS OF COMPETITIONS

The monthly meeting of the Coromandel Women’s Institute was held in the Oddfellows hall on July 11 when Mrs Ball presided. Two new members were welcomed and after the routine business was dealt with arrangements were discussed for the group meeting to be held in Coromandel on August 10.

The roll call, .“What my husband thinks of the W.1.” was well answered and caused much merriment —the answers being varied. The highlight of the evening was a housewives quiz. Mrs McKinley and Miss Russell were the quiz masters. The chosen team answered well and many useful hints were learnt by the members. A competition, which was won by Mrs McKinley, resulted in a donation

Of £1 being made to the Girl Guides. Supper was served by the hostesses, Mrs Lemme and Dr Logan.
