THE ROUND ROBIN LETTER By Elizabeth Bride The Round Robin Letter for United Na- tions conveners was the outcome of an idea suggested at the National Conference for pro- vincial conveners. The aim was to bring our national conveners into closer touch with each other and to help each one with suggestions and ideas used in the provinces. Because the conveners had met in Ottawa the letters he- came friendly and almost personal and have been a delight as well as encouragement to your national convener. We hope by these letters to give supporl and subject material to each convener. This in turn will be reflected in the branches and to the individual member and thus the wheel completed. Provincial reports will become bet- ter and enthusiasm for our Standing Com- mittee will grow. When we consider that this letter has gone across our entire Dominion and every province has given to it we cannot but be encouraged. No condensed version can tell of the warmth friendliness and unity that was ex- pressed in every letter. Every province con; tributed something and every convener has given a bit of herself in her letter. If no other object has been accomplished it has brought our converters cl05er to each other. Communiâ€" cation, however fragile, has been tied with a knowledge that we are all working together towards the same end, understanding each other. What better way to bring peace and unity to our nation? Every convener considered the National Conference in Ottawa the highlight of her term of office; each considered the Round Robin Letter a worthwhile project. The two kits sent to each province â€" The A.C.W.W. Kit and the United Nations Kit have been used and appreciated. Pen Pals have been established with the “twinning” province. The outcome of this will surely round off a program of “Know Your Canada.“ Other suggestions from the previnces To give five minutes at each meeting for information on the United Nations. Encourage Canadian pen pals and making scrapbooks re twin provinces. Read special items from the Federated News and the Countrywoman. Radio programs. * * * "Running people down is a bad habit, whether you are motorist or a gossip." â€"From Junior Women’s Institute Newsletter ##1#- WINTER 1972 /,,- ,.â€", Life Member of Bogartlown Women's Institute, Mrs. l.

ANNIVERSARY SALUTE By Isabelle Inglis Colville Of Bogarttown our Institute There's a tale that we must tell. Now she for five and twenty years Served Home and Country well. Newcomers to her meetings found A welcome warm and true, And often from these casual Starts A lifelong friendship grew. The Tweedsmuir Book the record stays Of lands and deeds around us, Of older men, their words and ways And how they srill affect us. We entertained our sister groups Were entertained in return. And from the pictures, arts and Crafts We found we still could learn. Our Christmas meetings always bright With Carols and auctions fun, And a very special Christmas cake Made by hands whose work's now done. And now our Institute will find That in the coming days. Both home and country can be served In ever widening ways. 39
