Thoughts From the Workshops Under the direction of Mrs. Gerald Holder, Secretary-Treasurer F.W.I.O., the delegates were divided into workshop groups With lead‘ ers who had met previously to Plan a Program of questions for discussion. Each group 319‘:th a secretary who brought back a report of the findings of her group and Mrs. Holder as- sembled these and reported them to the whole conference. Detailed summaries were given to the delegates to take home for reference. one question was: “What can secretaries do to burld and improve the image of the women‘s In- stitute in the eyes of (a) other Institute mem- bers (b) the community.” While the sugges- tions were primarily for secretaries, some could apply to any Institute member. Here are a few of them: Create harmony among your membersâ€" play up the pleasant things and soft-pedal those not so pleasant or interesting. Never criticize your executive or members in front of any person, as gossip tends to travel and change in character in the travelling. Great stress was made of living up to the Mary Stewart Collect and particularly the last line: “0 Lord. let us not forget to be kind.” Put it into action. Be enthusiastic, efficient, diplomatic, well informed, friendly, tactful and “of bright mind." Community Activities need always be given financial support: moral support is often quite as necessary and satisfactory. See that people get programs to encourage non-members to take an interest. Invite other women of the community to participate in your fun meetingsâ€"bus trips, social functions and short courses. When visitors do come. introduce them to the members and make them feel really we]- come and wanted. {To-operate with community projectsâ€"offer as'SIstance as Women’s Institute membersâ€"this wull help the prestige of your group, Share your activities with other groups and show an interest in their projects. Stress that Women’s Institutes are open to ladies of any religious denomination and never cntictze their beliefs. Use leftover Horne and Country for hos- pitals, doctors' and dentists‘ offices, beauty parlors, etc. To Study A.C.W.W. Mrs. I-Iaggerty and Mrs. van Beekhoff dropped in at the closing session of the con- 12 ference and Mrs. Haggerty reminded us rim F.W.I.C. has set up a proiect to mm A.C.W.W. and Mrs. Beekhoff‘s speech to he given at the mass meeting in the afternoon would be a good introduction to this study, Mrs. van Beekhoff said: “As I listened in the reports from the discussion groups 1 “it I might have been in Holland or in any c. i,_ try. We all seem to have the same prohitt i,‘ the same attitudes. Sometimes when we're H. busy with problems in the local Institute '{e worldwide organization seems a long way 1; but I hope you will study A.C.W.W. mi. W to make your members realize that ‘no in is an island.’ You are English speaking: r: x use of it. Take The Countrywoman, it? A.C.W.W. paper, and read it. If you . ‘i understand just what A.C.W.W. means, ii don’t want to buy a pig in a bag. This L t. noon I‘m going to open the bag for you d show you the pig.” (Editor‘s Note: Anyone may subscrit o The Countrywornan by writing to Assoc d Countrywomen of the World, 78 Kensir 'n High Street, London W. 8, England.

The horn of the moon is rising cold, And ice creeps over the night-black lake: The pines in the dark green forest 'hold ’ A silence only the wolf may break. Yet in my cabin all is gay, Warm is the stove and hearts are high; Yesterday was our wedding day, Winter may come, but what care I? * ‘k * HOME AND cob: HY
