The mother, left with four young children to support, learned something of Canadian neighborliness when sixteen trac- tors converged on her farm and nineteen men of the area took over the task of working the land plowed last Fall, harrowing and seeding forty»two acres. The newspaper reporter wrote: “In this giving of their labour to one in need, the residents of the entire area found a new sense of spiritual well-being and comâ€" munity oneness.” And a point of special inâ€" terest to Institute members is this further quote: “The move was first discussed at a Women‘s Institute meeting."

Many branches assist families who have been burned out, providing furniture, clothing, blankets, linens.
