At the November meeting. the
Women’s , Institute celebrated
their 45th anniversary. The fol*
lowing brief survey' vJrill give
some idea of the. activities of the
local branch since, that time. The
Institute was organized in 1968,
at the hor.ce of Miss Fern Reid,
with Mrs; Garnet.. Armstrong
(now of Toronto) as the president
and Miss Reid, secretary., It is
unfortunate thdt the miriutes
,books of those earlier years' have-
been lost, /butJ Aye know steady
progress was made in members
and activities, for in 191.4 a group
photo was taken at the home of
Mrs. Writ- Murdie when 67 mem
bers and visitors were present.
{Mrs. Moorehouse . Mitchell Was
‘ president at the time. The only
1 charter member living today is*
• Mrs. Robt. Thompson. ;

Mrs. Philip Stewart, who servr
ed a term as. District Director
Mrs. Garfield Ostrander
Mrs. A. J. Wilson
Mrs. J. R. Johnstone
Mrs. Chas. Cook, present pres
ident
During the years .many worthy
while’ projects have been carried
out, namely: better sanitary con
ditions^ for the school were pro
moted. War work of all kinds,
was pursued.. The . undertaking to
■educate an Armenian boy (a war
orphan) 'at a cost of $1000 was
undertaken and the Institute, had
the privilege. :of, naming—hjmr
Bruce Murray. A war memorial
was erected at a Cost of $3000.
A * spotlight was placed at this
cenotaph and for a time the light-
ing for this was paid for. An hon-
our roll was placed in the Town
Hall. The drinking fountain was
erected On Campbell Street in
1936. Tn 1948, street signs were
purchased. A $50 scholarship is
presented each year to the high
est student in Grade 12 of Luck
now District High School. The
returned soldiers were presented
with wallets. JSach war Bride was
remembered. Dishes to the value
of $200 was given to the Recrea
tional Centre. /

Besides these yiajor projects,
donations are being made each
year to the Boy Scouts, the Girl
Guide* Camp, Salvation Army,
Children’s Shelter, the Red Cross,
March - of - Dimes, Agricultural
Society,Fund for the Blind and7
Flood Relief. \ ,
Over 40 boxes are, sent to the
shut-ins at Christmas arid con
tributions made to. the1 Baker
Convalescent Home and Wingham
Hospital.
There4 are 47 members ’on the
roll and/the bank account stands
at $239. Money has been raised
by concerts, card games, booths
at .the Fall Fair and hockey mat
ches. Play receipts alone amount
ed .to over $100. Rummage sales
and catering to banquets has
been the biggest source of rev
enue; ■ ■' k -
On the social side there is an
nually a picnic, bus trips and pot
luck turkey supper.
The Institute, as a world wide
organization, well lives up to its
motto ‘‘For Home’ and Country”.
From its humble ‘beginning in
Ontario in 1397 it has branches
as far away as Japan* Ceylon and
India. This, was apparent at the
A.C.W.W. convention held in Tor
onto last August. We are told
to “render to Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s and unto God,
the things that are God’s”. Per
haps no other organization meas
ures up •lore on giving to Cae
sar, the things that are Caesar’s.
Its aims are high. It is unselfish
in its objectives. It "is educative,
when one thinks of the wonder
ful courses offered from time to
time. It is a friendly, co-operative
society where, one meets., folk of
• other churches and organizations
arid work together on one ob
jective. If possible, it is ’ every
woman’s duty; as well as a privil
ege, to belong to the W. I.>
