     ‘ Our Institute work has followed the pattern of most 
     
     branches — having programs that helped to make us better home- 
     
     makers and citizens. We always did a lot for the school in the little 
     
     things and we provided the desks for the new school in 1951. We 
     
     do Red Cross work‘every year and during the war years most of 
     
     our'spare time was spent in this way. We have held First Aid and 
     
     Home Nursing courses. We provide CLO tablets for the children. We 
     
     support our own organization in their endeavours. We have provided 
     
     leadership in 4-H work for many years. One of our members served 
     
     on the Provincial Board as Convenor of Education for four years 
     
     and she is now Editor of the Institute News.
