The usual monthly meeting of the Takahue Women’s Institute was held in the Takahue Hall, on Tuesday, August 10, Mrs. Carr presiding over a fair attendance of members. The roll call was, “Sewing and First-Aid Hints.” Ways and means for raising funds for Patriotic purposes were discussed, and it was decided to hold a Patriotic Day on Saturday, September 25 at the Takahue Hall.

Kitchen 1; 3 potatoes—Mrs. Warner 1; Any article made from a sugar bag—Mrs. Scrint 1. Competitions were won by Miss Lake and Mrs. Val Evans.

The competition for September will be as follows : 1 bloom, any article suitable for sale, jar marmalade. Roll Call : “What wartime economy that hurts me the most.” The hostesses were Mesdames Kitchen and Evans.
