This group will, I believe, hold some pur- poseful meetings and will be undertaking some work projects. In the past they have enjoyed making garments for babies and children. Fort Norman. This group has had problems this past year. The President is away in hospi- tal and the Secretary, wife of the R.C.M.P. Officer, is now living in Hay River where her husband has been transferred. Some fourteen women attending the meeting showed a real desire to make another try. Finally a new President has been named and a young Indian matron has accepted the responsibility of the office of Secretary. This is most heartening but they still have another problem.

A December meeting will be held and others again as the families return. From recent word from them it appears that the Fort Norman W.I. is really off the ground.
