Registration took place at L,ambton Hall on Tuesday, May 2nd, when over '700 delegates came Bus tours left for the Adelaide Hoodless Homestead at St. George at regular intervals in the afternoon to give W,I, members an opportunity to see this historic home, which is owned by the Federated Women's Institute of Canada, Wednesday's session opened at the War Memorial Hall at 9 a.m. with Mrs. Harvey Noblitt, Ottawa, of F.W.I.O. presiding. Greetings were extended by Dr. Janet Wardlaw, MacDonald Institute and the President of the University, Dr. Wm. Winegard, Mrs. Irwin Maltby, Laurel, led in a Let's Sing session during the morning, Mrs. Noblitt spoke on the theme "Members See, Officers Foresee." "You are here because you are officers," she said. "Good leaders need ability, clean hands, dispatch, impartiality, enthusiasm and good humor. We must have the ability to understand people, good manners, gentleness and good will." "We should show impartiality to all members and keep an open mind, on all subject, as to race, color and creed," she continued. "With patience, bring a project to a good conclusion, with good example and clean hands. We need ambition to go in the right direction. Many directions are found in the Hand Book. Enthusiasm overcomes obstacles," "The W.I. has a long history of accomplishments, but we must not rest on past laurels," she concluded. "The 1972 project is to increase branch membership 20 percent. We have a program to offer much to all homemakers, whether in the rural or urban areas. When We do get new members we must plan programs that are interesting and up to date. The Officers Conference is the training centre." Mrs. E. V. Fulton, Birtle, Manitoba, is president of the Federated Women's Institute of Canada. She spoke of many accomplishments at National level. The Adelaide Hoodless home, which is owned by F.W.I.C., the work in the North West Territories, Winter Works programs and the Opportunity for Youth program. "What kind of a member we should he?" she asked. "The '75th Anniversary proves we have a great heritage to live up to. A nation may not rise higher than its homes. We must strive for better homes, communities, and a better world. We should work with and listen to the Youth of the World. Have we let them down?" "Do we appreciate the Sr. Citizens and the wonderful heritage they have passed on," the speaker queried. "Canada is a leader in the world with its multi racial peoples, we are conservative, we have the freedom to think and freedom of choice. We must keep our nation's development and beware that we do not pollute the water and the air. A good community keeps up to date in society.. Does the community know about the good qualities of the W.I. or do we keep itto ourselves. As a responsible world citizen, give something of yourself back to the community." Miss Helen McKercher announced that the F.W.I.C. has given $5000 to help Ontario W.I. with the purchase of the Erland Lee Home, which option will he picked up in June 19'72. Miss McKercher projected the idea, if you wish to honour a W.I. member, give her a contributing membership in the Associated Countrywomen of the World. This assist's the needy in underdeveloped countries. The afternoon session was given over to discussion groups under the chairmanship of the following: Mrs. Roy Westlake, Mrs. Clarence Diamond, Mrs. R. C. Walkert, Mrs. John Craig and Mrs. Austin Zoeller. There will be 21 groups, Wednesday evening of the Officer's conference proved to be a most interesting and entertaining event, Early in the evening there were walking tours around the MacDonald Institute, and surrounding beautiful grounds. At War Memorial Hall, Mrs. Maltby's surprise turned out to be a delightful old time concert with a 25 voice choir, numbers, recitations, vocal solos and a mock wedding, A poem dedicated to Adelaide Hoodless was followed by a beautiful rendition of “How Great Thou Art", A Coffee party followed at Creelinan Hall.

"The world of medicine maybe should be ready for a future shock, so many choices to make, making decision can lead to breakdown of the nervous system," he said. "We must share concern for all our brothers. How can any government be concerned about the health, when the general public know very well that overeating, smoking etc. are detrimental." "How many Doctors should a country have?" he asked. "Nurses and Health centres could take care of some of the general practitioner's work. What will it be like in 15 or 20 years? How do you train young people properly, sometimes the untravelled paths prove to be the right direction?" "We must get Dr's, out of the medical school sooner," .he stated. "At the moment we are overtraining them, remove them from the play pen and let them crawl around and investigate; Nurses should be used to the limit of their ability." lie said it is compassion sometimes to let people die, and added that abortion and contraception are now facts of life, "How much should the Dr. be paid?" he concluded. "They are probably overpaid on the average in Canada and the United States," Mrs, Irwin Maltby, Laurel, again entertained with the Women's Institute choir which consisted of members from all parts of Ontario.
