GREENWICH W.I. — organized November 18, 1925. Super- visor Miss Mathieson. President, Mrs. Earl MacEwan; Vice-President, Mrs. Ambrose Rattory; Secretary-Treasurer, Miss Ethel Sutherland. Improvements in school and community have been our concern throughout the years.

In the beginning this branch comprised three school districts: Grand View, Lyndale and Uigg. Eventually increased membership made it possible for Grand View and Lyndale districts to form their own branches. Much credit goes to Mrs. W. D. Ross, Kinross, whose interest and enthusiasm sparked the desire to organize. At first home-making skills and the needs of the school were of primary im- portance and in review we find: School: bookcases, book of knowl- edge, cupboardS, maps, blackboards, water fountains, desks, globes, pictures, venetian blinds, new roof, new ceiling, exterior and interior painting, Wiring, electric fixtures, electric light bills paid. Music teacher’s salary, hot school lunch equipment, prizes, treats, picnics, etc‘. Immunization and dental clinics, farm forum, junior farmers, 4-H clubs, home nursing, swimming and water safety sponsored. Sick and shut-ins treated, institutions visited. Trees and shrubs planted. Overseas parcels sent. Signet rings presented to service men and women. Honour Roll placed in school. New-comers, brides and babies welcomed. Institutions and Welfare campaigns supported by dona- tions and canvasses. Sewing and knitting done for Red Cross, Or- phanages and M.S.C. A $25 prize received for plans for a rural home; a $25 award for war work in a Canada wide Contest, and $3 prize won in programme planning.
