L'p to the present it has never been considered u "newspaper" nor has the Editorial Committee found it p ssible to have HOME AND L‘OLSTJIY reach VVDmen's Institute meuilmi's while the information con- taincd is still news. But rather, it has been the custom to release news items as soon as possible through the daily, weekly, farm press and radio and through circular letters to Institutes: then use HOME AND COUNTRY as a record of work done. The Editorial Committee regret that this issue is unduly late reaching you. The reason is pressure of Women’s Institute work. Since HOME AND COI‘NTRY last went to press your editor has completely organized and acted as business manager for a Can~ adian Women's Institute tour to visit sister oruanizations abroad. As well, the co-or motion of Women’s Insti- tute activities throughout the Prov» ince requires considerable assistance. A great deal of time, thought anti 2112qu has gone into this, We have appreciated the loyal sup- port of Women‘s Institute members and the kindly encouragement and understanding shown.

From April 1 to November ‘20, 1950, 29 Institutes were organized. Seven of these were Junior Institutes. There are now 77 Junior Institutes in the Province with a membership of 1,554. Miss Lewis spoke in high praise of the Board. She said in part: "May l express sincere thanks to all Board members for the splendid co~oper- ation and help they have given in all our activities. The co-operation which exists between the Federated W0» ms 5 Institutes of Ontario and the “‘0 Li's institth Branch is of the v highest order. The credit for this is due in no small measure to the splendid \i omen we have on the Board and the interest they have ‘frir the good of All Mankind‘. "It has been an honour and a privi- lege to serve you. “Great responsibilities are yours. You are the official voice (if the rural women of this province. In electing you to the office of board director, the Institute women back home have shown confidence in your capabilities and your sincere desire to serve un- selfislily the best interests of rural folk. “Through your vote you hold the power and shape the policy of our organizationâ€"the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario. After you have determined the policies of our orâ€" ganization, then we of the Women’s Institute Branch help you, in every way we can, to carry out these policies. “District Annuals were attended in the 109 districts by approximately 12,000 women. Thirteen Convention Area meetings and the Manitoulin Conference have been held this fall with attendance of approximatelv 53100. ‘ "We were glad to welcome our new South-western Area which last year came into beingr through the natural expansion of our Women's Institute work in that section of the province. The size of the meeting in Chatth and the splendid response of the w - men surpassed our expectations and showed the need for this new area." .\’[r§. Jas. Bell. R.R.3, Coldwnicr; Mrs. D. A.
