NEWS NOTES 81 



nineteenth I had our first community fair which was held at the School House. 

 I did not expect many entries but knew we must have a beginning. What was 

 my surprise and delight to have between two hundred and two hundred and 

 fifty entries of caitned fniits and vegetables, needlework and poultry-. About 

 thirty-five women came in the afternoon to listen to an open meeting on 

 Household Economics and over two hundred men and women attended the 

 evening meeting. The people were surprised themselves to see the splendid 

 things from their own community. They enjoyed it and decided to have a 

 larger one next year. 



My program for the winter's work is purely economic. For the children, 

 current events and a selection of books in their circulating library supplement- 

 ing their school work. The community evening meetings are to be practical. 

 First, a series of three sets of slides on the "Finding of the New World," "Our 

 Period of Independence" and "Chu- Natural Resources," informing them a little 

 on why, we, as a countr>" now stand preeminent. Later, "Insects," "Bird 

 Control" and "Spray Control," with whatever may come up that we feel we 

 need. The Poultry Club are doing their winter's work in an egg laying contest 

 and the women have had the first of three demonstrations on Household 

 Economics. The best part of all is that now they want to come and take part.
