- 2- Interesting events have featured a "Silver Tea" in 1959 with other Institutes as guests where interesting antiques were shown, assisting at the Coronation program at the Public School when a — Coronation Oak Tree was planted, 50th Anniversary Celebrations in 1957, Centennial Celebrations in 1967 when W.I. had a shelter built to cover picnic tables in the Park, and a Historical meeting featuring vintage wedding gowns, antique dishes, bedspreads, quilts, rugs, pictures, slates, skates and butter making with a hand churn was demonstrated. A fashion show in 1970 attracted 170 people to see Institute members and their daughters model fashionable outfits. In 1970 a set of dishes was donated to the Community Centre — sufficient to serve 150 people. The donation included cutlery, glassware, pitchers dish pans and serving trays. Institute members are divided into four catering groups and each group is asked to cater no more than four times in a year. This has proven a. source of income for the Institute. New Dundee Cookbooks have proven popular and literally travelled around the World. The first cookbook "Homemaker's Delight", compiled in 1954 contained treasured recipes of the members and their friends. At least 1,000 copies were sold. By 1969, No. 2 of "Homemaker' s Delight" were out and in 1973, No. 3 was published. The price has never changed from One Dollar per copy. One of the recent meetings which created considerable interest was an open meeting drawing a large crowd where we exhibited Arts and Crafts. Members and friends plied their crafts which included ceramics, decoupa ge, macrame, weaving, bread dough sculpture, iconage, string art, crocheting and tatting. Beautiful quilts, driftwood pieces, oil paintings, artificial flowers, jewellery, note paper with tatted flowers, home sewn clothing, crocheted dresses, ponchos, doilies, etc. were on display. Brunch meetings and trips and tours have added interest also. The W.I. have been active in sponsoring 4-H Clubs for girls. Five or six clubs are often in operation. Leaders have given hours of unstinting labour in this faithful work. Senior courses for adults, in-cluding such things as Quilting, Bread making, Dressmaking with a Difference, Dressing up Vegetables, Knack of Sewing with Knits, Creative Stitchery and a Festival of Dairy Foods. The Institute has purchased a fire proof safe to protect their record books and Tweedsmuir Books and files on Current Events. The History Books include ten volumes and Teas are held to allow people to peruse them. We are one of the few Ontario Institutes to have maintained a W.I, link. Ours is with Osburnby, England since 1954. In 1965 our correspondent visited their Institute. Many magazines, gifts and letters are exchanged. Christmas Good Cheer boxes find their way into many homes and cards to the sick and shut-ins are given. A silver spoon is given to each member when she has a baby. A floral tribute and a guard of honour expresses our sympathy whenever a member is deceased. At present we have 12 Life Members and 47 active members, many including younger women who take an active part so the future of our Institute looks bright.
