LEN CRAWFORD MOTORS Phone 710 - . — ' Wingham The January meeting of the Bel­ more Women’s Institute was held in the club room of the Belmore Com­ munity Hall with twenty-one ladies and four children present. The presi­ dent, Mrs. Wm. Elliott was in the chair and Mrs. Appleby at the piano. The meeting opened in the usual man­ ner by all singing^ the Opening Ode and repeating the Mary Stewart Col­ lect. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting and several thank you notes from shut-ins remembered at Christmas, also correspondence, re­ garding the Bruce Museum Fund, the club project, “The Milky Way”, and the 1955 project for W. I. members, the establishment and equipping of four Community Centres in Ceylon for the study of Home Economics. Plans were made for purchasing some more equipment for the Arena booth and for having some improve­ ments made there, Mrs, Eadie, con­ vener for this meeting, then took charge. * Mrs. West very ably dealt with the motto, “The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world”, saying that in order to raise a great man, you must first raise a great mother. Since the status of women in the world has been much improved women have had more and more influence in the home and also in shaping public opinion. Happy educational discussions often take place around the breakfast table. Mrs, West concluded .her talk with a poem on “Mothers”. The roll call, “If I was 21 again”, caused some merriment. Some thought they would do vastly different if they had a second chance but most felt that probably they would do just the same over again. Mrs. Applyby had the topic and gave a very interesting book review on the hook entitled “The Bruce Beckons”, giving the history of the settling of Bruce Co., and describing the beauty spots also the fish, flowers, birds, etc., found there. This book is in the Belmore Library and may now be in great demand, The meeting closed with the Nat­ ional Anthem. For lunch everyone was to bripg a plate of fancy sandwiches. These were served by the committee in charge and great was the variety thereof. A delicious cup of tea was served by the hostesses.

Centre of* the controversy is a new beei‘ and liquor store now under con­ struction, There has never been a vote on the store. The village went dry by a plebiscite in 1935, With the opening of the new outlet, Markdale, 25 miles southeast of Owen Sound, would be the oasis in a dry area which extends 30 miles in three directions. An estimated 25,000 persons live in the area, Last spring the village council un­ animously voted in favor of the liquor store. The “drys” immediately started circulating petitions.
