The 607th meeting of THE HOME INTEREST CLUB took place at Overlook, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stabler, May 2, 1927.
We were warmly welcomed and spent a pleasant half hour talking with our friends before supper was announced. It proved to be a delightful repast to which every one dig full justice.
Afterwards there was an interval of conversation before the meeting was called to order by Sam Bond. The secretary then read the minutes of the last meeting at Overlook, followed by minutes of last meeting at Norwood, which were approved.
Mr. Hartshorn thought the road at Ashton still needed improving. Miss Adams has helped by cutting her hedge.
The next place of meeting was discussed and Roseneath decided upon.
Forethought: Lucy Moore sparyed currant bushes and roses. Watch fruit trees and burn caterpillars. Mr. Fussell advised getting weeds out of lawn. Mow it and carefully roll.
Maurice Stabler and Edith Thomas were appointed as fore thought committee for next meeting and must be notified by postal.
Mr. Morris' talk in place of essay was most delightful and humourous. Dr. Christie spoke about humourous poets, and said sense of humor often goes with sense of pathos.
Committee on program report on one subject. Twelve subjects to report on. Allan Farquhar suggested arranging for six meetings instead of twelve. Subject "What I like best in Moving Pictures", Mrs Harry Stabler. It was moved and seconded that this subject be accepted.
The secretary was asked to write to Mrs. Pattie Farquhar, expressing sympathy for illness, and a hope that she would soon be with us again.
Questions were asked about hollyhocks, rubber plants, etc..., Mrs. Moore wanted to know why water leaked out of tank.
Destruction of forests thought to be the cause of the frightful floods.
Hellebore was thought the best spray for currants, pyrox for roses.
Alice Farquhar, Secty.
