President, Mrs. Laughlyn Mc‘Kay. Our institute has been going 
     
     strong for the past many years, increasing from 8 members to 20 at 
     
     present. We have done outstanding work for our schools and for all 
     
     the community affairs. We have installed new desks twice, and sup- 
     
     plied much school equipment. Painted the interior and exterior every 
     
     six years or so. Installed septic toilets in the school. We give to all 
     
     charitable organizations unstintingly and help the poor, sick and 
     
     s ut-ins.

     needs: new seats, storm windows, science cabinet, books of knowl- 
     
     edge, globe, cod liver oil capsules, swimming instruction, helped install

     PANMURE ISLAND W. I. Organized October 31, 1927. Pres- 
     
     ident, Mrs. Mathias Condon; Secretary, Miss Stella Murphy. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Only two of the original members are still members of our 
     
     present Institute. Some are living elsewhere, and death has claimed 
     
     several. For some years we were disbanded as a decrease in our pop- 
     
     ulation made our membership too small. We re—organjzed February 
     
     18, 1947, and have remained active ever since. Our chief interest 
     
     has always been the school to which, over the years, we have added 
     
     new desks, new floor, a book-case and globe to mention only a few 
     
     of our contributions. We continue to help the school with needs and 
     
     treats, and practically everything that the teacher might suggest. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Institute has been a vital factor in the social life of our 
     
     community. The monthly meetings and District Conventions have 
     
     formed and strengthened friendships. The Institute too, has treat- 
     
     ed its members to some delicious get-together suppers.
