Here and There With the Institutes Notes From “Reports of Meetings” Again we have gathered from the Secre- taries’ Report of Meetings, ideas that we think may carry suggestions or inspiration from one branch to another. Because this is our purpose rather than to give publicity to any Institute, it may happen that some of the branches having the best programmes are not men- tionedâ€"their topics are already well known and many other branches are studying the same things. such as Making Wills. United Nations. Flower Arrangements This is true, too, in reporting Community Activities. Nothing could be more important than sponsoring a baby clinic or making canâ€" cer dressings or keeping supplies in the school's first aid kits or providing something for the local hospital or the community hall, but everyone knows these are good things to do. Even when we try to avoid repetition it does creep in. sometimes and. this makes tire- some reading. Still we hope that in the notes we hare made there may be something of interest for everyone. Only about half of the reports are reviewed here. The others will be dealt with in the nea‘t issueâ€"Ed. Programme Features Recommended In the “Report of Meetings" questionnaire. the Institutes were asked if they had some feature on their programme this year that they would especially recommend to other branches. These are some of the features recommended: MacLennan reports: “A roll call which proved very successful was to have each member present in writing an idea for next year’s programme or pay a twenty»five cent fine. This way you can have everyone's ideas to work into the programme in some way and we got a wonderful response."
