The past history of the local branch is lamentably incomplete, owing to, the unfort-- unate loss of several of the inute books. lflovwever, memhers of long atandin:; assure me that the traditions and spirit behind the forming of_ the or;ganization have been adhered to at all times. A gradually increasing membership proves that interest has heen kept alive in the nencficial and very necessary work perforrmed by the Institute. Sfhut--ins have always béen remembered hy cards at Christmss, as well as , visits by the Sunshine Committees,. sany worthy causes have heen given a kelping hand by the Paisley Institute, such as tag days for the hlind, the tuberculosis X--ray clinics, overseas)relief, local sewin;:; classes, etc. Noney has heen raised in various ways, as for instance, home haking sules, teas, quilts, sponsoring of plays and entertainments.
