W.D.F.U.

OKOIA BRANCH MEETING. The July meeting of the Okoia branch of the Women's Division of j the Farmers’ Union was held as usual | on the third Tuesday of the month, ! when members met at the home of i Mrs A. Duxlield, where all spent an enjoyable afternoon. Following the reading of the Creed the president moved a special motion of sympathy lor the Vavasour family, which was observed in the usual way. After various forms of business were discussed and dealt with, members viewed a “bring and buy’’ stall and good business was done, resulting in a, satisfactory sum for the soldiers’ par-; cel fund. Members also brought suitable gifts lor overseas parcels and if members who did not attend this meeting would still like to contribute to this worthy cause they are still invited to do so. Members must thank Mesdames, Duxlield, O'Donnell and Wilson, who have given their time to prepare and pack these parcels. The next meeting will be held on the third Tuesday this month at the home of Mrs. J. Brandon, when members all look forward to meeting Mrs. Wickham, who will address them on hex recent trip to conference, and other W.D. matters of interest, and every member is asked to bring some contribution for another “bring and buy” stall —the proceeds of which will go towards a Christmas overseas parcel fund. A vote of thanks to the hostess and to the chair closed the meeting.
