.falling numbers, but president Mrs Mansley said she regard­ ed the meeting as a thanksgiv­ ing rather than a funeral. She said the institute had a good record and had always taken an interest in the wider scope of the WI and one of .the things to be thankful for was the unstinting and caring devotion given by an officer of long standing. She said of Mrs Mavis Day who had worked hard, particularly as secretary, and her death at the end of December, although not unex­ pected, was a blow to mem­ bers. It had followed closely on the sudden death of her hus­ band, John, who had been very supportive of his wife and the institute, always willing to offer transport and help in many other ways. Mrs Mansley mentioned


some happy memories of them both and asked members to stand for a short silence in respect of them and their fam­ ilies. The funeral was attended by LFWI president Mrs Hazel Short and Mrs Pat Ascroft whose presence was much appreciated. . District advisor Mrs Mar­


garet Davies attended the meeting and a discussion was had regarding the possessions of the institute and the hand­ ing over of the record books to Mrs Davies to go to county offices. The distribution of the WI china would be dealt with later. Mrs Mansley explained


that an accumulation of WI papers, collected by Mrs Day, had revealed some interesting

There was also a hand-written booklet of jam making during the war in 1941 when Whalley had been allocated sugar for this. Unfor­ tunately, no one knew where the jam making took place.
