Special Programs and Projects A NOTE TO P.R.O.’s The purpose of this Special Programs and Projects section is to give Public Relations Officers (1 spot in Home and Country where they can tell all the Institutes of the province about anything done in their own Institute which might offer a suggestion to other branches. As we have explained in previous issues, we cannot give space to routine reports of meet- ingsâ€"unless the program is so original or out- standing as to give an idea to other Institutes. A particularly good subject for a topic. disâ€" cussion. debate. motto or roll call would be welcome. Some years ago it was decided that we could not report anniversary celebrations. These are of interest mainly in the local community where the participants are known and of course P.R.0.'s will see that they get into the local papers. And please note that to produce an illus- tration we require a photograph, not the nega- tive; and that we cannot make a cut from a colored picture or from a slide. Perhaps the hes! way to see the sort of material We need for this section is to look at the topics in this and previous issues. Then, as P.R.0. for your branch or district or area, if you have a story that should be told, do, please, send it along. â€"Editor.

In May 1963 the Tovvn of Brampton had begun looking for someone to cater to this banquet for about twelve hundred people. I had had a son compete in the World Match 111 1961 in France and capture the world championship. at which time he was treated most royally by the French agriculturists. And It seemed to me, as a mother and Women's Institute member, that we had an opportunity oi espressing to all those countries our hosâ€" pitality through the Women's Institute. I contacted the Deputy-Reeve of the Town 26 of Brampton and said to him, “If I can imam enough of the Institute women to Underlnk this banquet, would you give them the honoul-‘JE On the 30th of May 1963, four of [in branches close at hand, and of a large gnough membership to contribute enough mnmPOWCr to put over such a large project, Wen; rum” sented by a delegation of three key pcrwte “1m met with representatives of the Ton: Arm much discussion and with mixed wuv these members went back to the bran an outline of a job to be done.
