small at home, they were unable to be of much help. ‘ I However, in our community as in many, no one is forsaken. The neighbors organized a canvass of the entire area, for money, house- hold furnishings and clothing. Well over $800.- 00 was collected plus tables, chairs, lamps, radio, clocks, beds, springs, mattresses, clothes racks, etc. In short, after Carolyn had pur- chased a used stove and refrigerator, she had all the necessities and even a few luxuries. The Foresters Falls Women’s Institute like most branches of no more than nineteen mem- bers, had very little money; but the women scraped the bottom of their finances to get one hundred dollars, and purchased a local school building just recently closed. The build- ing was in good condition, with hydro, hot and cold water on tap, oil furnace, tile floor, and basement. The neighbors donated labor and Carolyn purchased the material to divide the main body of the school into three rooms, cut a second outside door in the side of the building, and lower the ceiling. The result was a comfortable home. The family was moved in early in the winter and settled snug before Christmas. At Christmastirne, individual organizations, church groups and our Women's Institute presented the family with hampers of food, clothing, and toys. In fact, through most of the winter, gifts of used clothing and cheques of varying amounts arrived for them from near and far. The Foresters Falls Women’s Institute felt very close to a sister branch over one hun- dred miles away, which sent a money donation for the family. The Institute is giving Carolyn a rent-free home and in return she will pay the taxes, hydro, bills and other expenses, and she may stay there as long as her present financial condition exists. We feel that this type of effort by our Wom- en’s Institute and by the community at large not only helps someone in need, but makes our community one we can be proud of, and a good place to live.
