C. # Ayers, ()riffle. Ontario WI has; training session The 27th Annual Officer's Conference of the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario was at Waterloo campus, April 29, 30 and May 1. This is a training session• for Dfficers of Women's Institute. This year it is -for Branch Secretary-treasurers; conveners of Agriculture and Canadian ki,d_nVes and Members-at-large. There was .a registration of 600. The delegates gathered at, the Humanities Theatre Tuesday afternoon when the immediate past president, Mrs.. Harvey L. Noblitt was chairman for the session and introduced the new president, Mrs. Herb Maluske. Chesley. She spoke on ,the theme of the Conference "Undertake some- thing that is difficult;. it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond •what you hi've already mastered, you will never grow" 7 Ronald E. ()Shorn. This growth process is a *lifetime thing. I believe there is no time in one's, life when'one can say he has stopped growing. Learning goes on as Jong as we live, adding new facts and skills. 50 per cent of the intellectual caVacity of an adult has been developed by age of 4 and 80 per cent by age 8. As this is Mrs. Robt. B. Weber's six and last diTerm as Secretary treasurer of the Officer's Conference, we wish.to pay tribute for the masterful way in which she has run the conference. I wish to suggest a couple of things we could start mastering. The art of listening. If you undertake to pay -strict attention to all directives and follow them then there is no need to, , ask Mrs. Weber to repeat erections, Officers' Conference fg a training session, learning experience for you. There is not time at the net meeting to report on all you •have learned, but rather you can also interject with factual information after a period of many years.' When a term of office expires, be willing to show the incoming person "the ropes". &Let us undertake to understand One another and master the skill and. latg worked , with. My husband in the bank in Aiii.d,sor. The old rink behind the'Dick house, where so many of us learned to Skate, and whore hater played hockey on a girl's '04411- •Peck Johnson' took tickets and looked after the rink. I alWays ',enjoyed skating with my Uncle Albert, who lived on the same- -street all his life. My first.after wsehool job in • F.D.HutchinSen's :grocery store. he was a very kind man, and never refused anyone ,groceries. I am sure there were many accounts that were never paid • When 1, was ,a girl, walking was >one of our pleasures, and I have fnever understood why ,so, many people just chose to walk along the railroad tracks. I used to walk ;,along the river at Egmondville, ,and go across the fields to the "stone crusher". I picked pails of raspberries 'at this spot. Another nice walk was along the Maitland r River. Enormous pussy willows could be found here in the Spring. I remember the Harvest Thanksgiving suppers at, St, , Thomas Church, and the last Sermon given by Reverend T. H. BroWn, before he retired. There wasn't a dry eye in the church. I also remember the Sunday School picnics. at Bayfield..and Mrs. Dick Parkes' delicious. lemonade. HOW many remember when the "Lions" gave us our first swimming pool, and the years of summer fun it has provided for so many? Before the construction of the pool, we used to wade and splash around in what can-only be described' as a "puddle" on the --grounds of Case's farm where the Hospital is now situated.' A short distance east of the pool we used • Bill to aid of tolerance. Since last year this time, we have been hearing much about International Women's Year with its slogan - equality, development and peaee. ' How can we have peace if there is none of it in the home? There are three steps leading to perfect harmony; think kindly of every person; speak kindly and 'act kindly toward him or her. "Let there be peace in the world and may it begin with me." We must "voice strong united opinions against the increasing use of profanity in the media and on television, display of violence and obscenity, alcolholism, drugs, abortion, rape and the list goes 'on. OUr forbearers strugg- led hard to establish good moral standards and it .behooyes us to undertake to uphold them or the very foundation of our nations will collapse and bring the structure down with it. The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, addressed the gatherhig. :Greetings were given, by Dr. Holmes-, Director of Research Administration, Uni- versity of Waterloo.
