Great Hormead
Women's Institute
AN OPEN MEETING
The February meeting of the Hormead Women's Institute was held at the Parish Halll on Wednesday evening last.
The meeting was an open one, and in additional to the members, there were several others present, and a most enjoyable evening was spent.
MALAY
An interesting lantern lecture on Malay was given by Mr S. Coddington, of Hormead Bury. Mr Coddington, who has spent many years in Malay, referred to the customs of the native and the industries of the State.
The pictures of cocoanuts [sic], tin mines and rice growing were excellent, and the school children present must have enjoyed Mr Coddington's reference to the elephants and monkeys, the later being used largely to pick cocoanuts.
At the close of the lecture Mrs Kitchen proposed a very hearty vote of thanks to the lecturer for his interesting address. She was sure they had all enjoyed it immensely. The vote was carried with prolonged applause.
Tea was served to all present, after which there were various competitions and games. There were for entrants for the competition for the best cleaned shoes.
