Women's Institutes seek
meeting on farm economy
The Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Ontario showed their
concern for not only those who live
on the farm but also for women in
all parts of rural Ontario with the
resolutions they passed at their
annual board meeting.
The Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Ontario have long been
recognized as a women's organiza-
tion supportive of a healthy
farming economy and are going to
arrange a meeting between repre-
sentatives of the PWIO and the
three provincial leaders to gain an
assurance and develop a time
frame for the positive action they
have promised on behalf of
farmers. The second resolution is
that FWIO urge Environment
Canada to pass the necessary
Lodge gives gifts
to shut-ins
Morning Star Lodge held their
regular meeting with Noble Grand
Barbara Watts conducting.
After opening exercises, busi-
ness discussed was date for
Christmas Party to be held Dec. 18
at 6:30 in Lodge Hall. Donations of
money are to be sent to Family and
Chldren's Services, Goderich; Sick
Children's Hospital, London;
Wingham Day Care Centre, also to
Pilgrimage for Youth; our share of
expenses for sending a delegate
from this district to new York and
United Nations in 1986.
Vice Grand reported gifts and
cards to sick and shut-ins were
mailed on ready to deliver. The
secretary asked all members who
wished to get insurance for 1986 to
get in touch with her by the end of
December. The Oddfellow-Rebe-
kah float received first prize at the
Santa Claus Parade. Barbara
Nichols and her helpers were
thanked for their work assembling
the float. Several members had
December birthdays. V.G. Mary
Nichol donated stuffed animals to
sell tickets on to be drawn for at the
Christmas party.
After closing, Lodge Mary
Davidson and Nelva Scott conduct-
ed a card game. Sarah Stephenson
and Vera Hastings won prizes.
Lunch committee served a deli-
cious lunch.
legislation to remove Ring-billed
Gulls from the list of protected
birds.
At the present time, there are no
provincial laws or regulations
concerning the safety of people and
livestock with regards to the
installation and maintenance of
any type of farm manure holding
tank, unless agrant is being sought
by the installer from OMAF. The
FWIO request the OMAF, the
Ontario Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing and the
Ontario Ministry of Environment
to introduce provincial legislation
stating that all types of existing and
future farm manure holding tanks
have adequate safety precautions
maintained at all times.
The safety of all rural property
owners caused the following resol-
ution to be passed that FWIO
request the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources to strengthen
the protection rights of landowners
in rural areas under the Trepass to
Property Act by forbidding per-
sons from• hunting game from
roadsides in rural and agricultural
areas.
The education of children has
always been of concern to Wo-
men's Institute members so they
passed the resolution that FWIO
urgently request the Ontario Mini-
ster of Education implement a law
change to deny teachers of Ontario
the right to strike.
Some packages have printed
directions that are so small that it is
often necessary to use a magnifyi-
ing glass to read them so a
resolution was passed that FWIO
request the Department of Con-
sumer and Corporate Affairs to
enact legislation requiring mini-
mum standards for print size and
legibility in or on packages.
Since overall health of women
has always been a concern of
Women's Institutes it requests
that public washroom cubicles
include a small sink for the great
number of people who have had a
colostomy, illiostomy or similar
surgery and such conditions re-
quire washing parts of the body in
privacy.
In Ontario one woman in 11 has
mastectomy surgery which re-
quires breast prosthesis for bal-
ance and appearance so FWIO
requests the Ontario Ministry of
health to extend financial assist-
ance '.oward the purchase of the
required prosthesis, to all women
having had mastectomies.
Vehicles continue to pass school
buses with lights flashing and stop
signal arm extended and it is
difficult to prove the identity of the
drive of the vehicle so FWIO urges
the Ministry of Transportation and
Communication and the Attorney
General of Ontario to make it
mandatory that the owner of the
vehicle identify the driver of the
vehicle, or be held responsible for
the violation.
Many Women's Institute
branches and districts pass resolu-
tions on a local level and these will
go to the appropriate councils or
committees.
Merry Christmas
and a
Prosperous
