Women’s Institutes

KAIRANGA The annual meeting of the Kairanga Women’s Institute was hold lust Tuesday afternoon,, Airs W. McClelland presiding over a good attendance. Included in tho year’s activities were many useful demonstrations and competitions as well as talks-on the Waitaugi Celebrations and the Federation and its privileges. Social afternoons were given to two members prior to their marriages and departures from the district. A drama circle had been formed Which had achieved success. A display was staged by the Institute at the A. & P. Show, and although only given fourth place, did credit to our members. The celebration of tho third birthday proved successful both socially and financially. A Post Office Savings Account has been started, £4 of the Institute’s finances being deposited, which was considered satisfactory in view of donations which had been made during the year, both to the Federation and the club-rooms in Palmerston North.
