C.W.A. Activities on Thursday Island.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Thursday Is., May 20.
THE Country Women's Association may now claim to be one of the permanent institu tions of Thursday Island, and there was a large attendance at the annual meeting, held on May 18.
The Association takes a definite place in the Island’s social and philanthropic activities, the latter aim being fulfilled not only in a general and open way for the benefit of all, but in the quiet and unrecognised relief of many dis tressed families.
The members had a progressive programme placed before them, which included the addi tion of a big verandah on the Rest Hut on Prince of Wales Island, as soon as finances per mit, and the holding of “Mutual Help’’ meet ings, when each member has undertaken to teach another some useful domestic or artistic novelty.
Mrs. C. E. Sinclair, who is well-known as a leader in many public social functions, was elected president for the year, and her pre decessor, Mrs. H. N. Hockings, took over the duties of secretary.
