     WINSLOE - HARRINGTON W.I. organized first in co-opera-

     The Harrington W.I. re-organized November, 1921, has been 
     
     a going and influential concern to this day. We have a member- 
     
     ship of 28 members, most of whom are active. We donate to most 
     
     all worthy charities and remember our community sick and shut- 
     
     ins. Our main endeavour through the years was the renovation of 
     
     our community hall, which is truly a social center for all activities. 
     
    

    
     Beautification: We are very conscious of rural beautification, 
     
     having entered our school, hall and community at different times, 
     
     and were mostly always in the money—which of course wasn’t 
     
     our chief aim —but it helped. It was a common good and we were 
     
     all interested and aware W.I.’s are tops and absolutely essential 
     
     to country life.

     2 room school, cement basement, furnace, landscaped grounds— 
     
     fenced playground. Won the Governor’s Cup. During the war it 
     
     was suggested at a Provincial convention that an Ambulance be 
     
     purchased for use overseas, the suggestion was accepted and each 
     
     individual W.I. asked to contribute towards same. 
     
    

    
     The ambulance was presented through the Red Cross for over- 
     
     seas work. Two members of this group were instrumental in the 
     
     organization of the Music Festival. The meeting was held at the
