Wanda Adams and Eileen Smallman represented Knutsford Institute to be, the Welcoming Committee and provide the Fun and Nonsense portion of the meeting. Fun and nonsense consisted of jokes and riddles, and playful stories so everyone was put at ease when arriving at the meeting. Other institutes did what was requested by them to make it a successful convention for District 2. The KWI also decided to serve a turkey dinner for the election poll to

be held at the school April 22. Dinner would cost $2.50, and supper would be $3.50.

colonial quilt.

president, Orell Smallman.

Correspondence was read and a report from the District 2 convention was given by Helen Adams. An auction sale for the community hospital is to be held May 16. The holiday box and Pennies for Friendship was passed around and the program was a

pantry quiz by Eileen Smallman.
