Coldstream suggests: “Competition between Institutes should be discouraged. Try to keep the Institute from being used as an advertismg agency." . One branch recommends that “if the dif- ferent offices were taken in turn by the mem- bers everyone would have more knowledge of the work and more interest in it.” Another says: "Perhaps if someone in Institute work could visit the branches and tell us what other Institutes do, it might create interest.” (A thought here for district presidents.

Woodhouse says: “We find that sometimes there is so much corres- pnndcnct' and business that there is little time for companionship and very little time for programmes." Another secretary suggests: "We need some younger members and members who aren’t in all the other organizations in town.“ (An- nth'l‘ argument for trying to bring in young mothers and homemakers not yet too busy \Vllll public affairsâ€"Ed.)
