We have always taken great interest in the school, re-decorating, re- modelling, supplying blinds, fences, maps, books for library, flag, treats for the children at Christmas and at the end of the term. For sometime we supplied soups to be heated and used with the noon lunches.

We supply Cod Liver Oil capsules at a low cost to the children.

Many other things which are found to be a help to the teachers in this present day of teaching have been supplied. We also have had the school wired.

In 1941 a Sewing Class was sponsored under the leadership of Mrs. Robert Moase, Mrs. John McInnis and Mrs. Edson Dalzell. Splendid work was done by the girls in the two year course.

The Sewing and Knitting Class was again undertaken in 1969 and is continuing on under the leadership of Mrs. Edwin Wall, Mrs. Alvin Curley and Mrs. Charles Bryanton. Mrs. Dennis Henry also helped with the knitting last year.

Our Institute received at least three prizes in the Red Cross Safety programs and some of the members were interviewed in each case over

radio CJRW.

Our Red Cross work has been kept up over the years, we have some very enthusiastic knitters as well as sewers in our district. Our donations to public institutions, organizations, Prince County Fire Dis aster Fund, in all cases of need or mishap during the years have been worth while. Our sick and shut-ins have been remembered by treats.

A Home—Nursing Course capably instructed by Mrs. Kenneth Hues- tis, R.N., was carried on for one winter. Mrs. Walter Moase kindly offered her home for this class which was much appreciated by all members.

At the close of the course a special meeting of the class was held in which Mrs. Wood from Charlottetown spoke on Civil Defense and Mrs. Huestis presented the members with certificates.

In 1960 4-H Club members from different districts held an achieve- ment day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Moase, several members

volunteered to help supply and serve lunch.

At the annual Red Cross Society dinner meeting, held in Charlotte- town in 1964, Mrs. Harold Manderson of New Annan was made a charter member of the newly formed Red Cross Centenary Volunteer’s Club.

Mrs. Manderson has knitted an unbelievable quantity of garments for the Red Cross as well as for other service groups each year. She was also presented with an Institute pin by Lieutenant-Governor W. J. Mac-

Donald.

Plans were made for a public meeting to be held in Sherbrooke auditorium in 1964, to discuss a home for the chronically ill in East Prince area, with Hon. Henry Wedge to speak on same; refreshments were
