     The most outstanding achievement was taking a small road- 
     
     side school and moving it to a new site. It was placed on a cement 
     
     basement, two indoor toilets were installed, maps were purchased, 
     
     as well as blackboards, and many other articles. Interior and ex- 
     
     terior of the building painted, a fence was erected and electricity 
     
     installed, thus converting an outmoded school into an attractive 
     
     modern one. This cost several thousands of dollars, but when dis- 
     
     tributed over a period of years has not been too difficult, and a most 
     
     gratifying attainment. 
     
    

    
     In 1944 we designed and completed a crib quilt, which was in 
     
     competition with 15 other Institutes, winning first prize —— a War 
     
     Certificate. This small district had eleven men answer the call to 
     
     service and each was presented with a fountain pen and an address 
     
     read. Each Christmas they were remembered with a box of hand 
     
     knitted articles, food, cigarettes, candy and home-canned fruits. 
     
     Much work for Red Cross. On their return from overseas, the boys 
     
     were guests of honor at a dinner party, also two war brides who were 
     
     showered with gifts. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Contributions are made to those in need, sick and shut-ins, 
     
     and assist many charitable causes. Money is raised by concerts, 
     
     plays, parties and auctions. Since 1958 attend District Conventions
