'WILFRED MACK (This is the first, of a series of articles on the Ninth Triennial Conference of, the ACWW by Mr. Mack, Creditor), who leaves by plane July 31 to attend the sessions in Scotland. She de- scribes the birth of the movement in this introductory column.) The Associated Country Wo - Men of the World are holding they 9th Triennial Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, frdm Aug- ust 3 to August 15. The ACWW is the only world organization of country or rural women, It represents five and a half million country women who live. in many different countries, states and provinces and who belong to 1.40 different societies. There .are 13 of these societies in Canada and the constituent organization in Ontario is the Federated Women's Institutes. The work of the WI is well- known in most of rural Ontario. In 1897, Stoney Creek, Ontario, was the birthplace of this move- ment which has played such an important role in the life of rural women. The founder was Adelaide Hoodless and to her vision, wisdom and courage, WI members will always owe a debt of gratitude,. Thc. aims and purpose of thj, organization as defined in th minutes of the first meeting, held 62 years ago are just as important today as then. These were, in part, to promote the knowledge of. household science in home sanitation, a better understanding of the economic' and hygienic value of foods, clothing and fuel and the more eicentific care and training of ehildren with a view to raising the general standard of health end morals of our people. Today, the welfare of the borne and family is still of vital importance and greater effic- iency in the home leads to a more abundant community life end a deeper appreciation of the things near at hand. Another aim is to discover, stimulate end develop leadership. The year following the form- ing of the first institute they ob- tained assistance from the On- tario Department of Agriculture and, while meagre at first, this support has been a valuable con- tribution to the success of the organization. In 1902 the WI motto "For Home and Country," was chosen. The following year, Miss Laura Rose, the first, government lec- turer and organizer for Women's Institutes, designed:the Institute pin and the Institute colors, blue end gold, were chosen. From Ontario the idea of rural V5men's organizations quickly nread to other provinces. Mrs. slush C. Graham, Ailsa Craig, organized the first WI branch in Alberta and in 1919 the Fede- rated. Women's Institutes of Can- ada came into being. From Ontario also came the idea of a world-wide organization or rural women, Madge Robert- son, Collingwood, one of the first women to graduate from the University of Toronto, did news- paper work in. New York City •and then married Dr. Alfred Watt. They moved to British Columbia where Mrs. Watt was active in women's organizations. After the death of her husband. *he went to England and in 1915, during the First World War, she introduced the Women's Institute movement to Wales, then to }lngland, and in 1917 to Scot- land. She was assisted in this work by Miss Emily Guest of London township. In 1797 the Agricultural Wo- men's Organization was founded, in Finland. Also, rural women's organizations were being formed in other countries. After the war their work became more widely known and by 1923 Mrs. Watt had conceived the idea of an :international Federation St Women's Institutes, When she attended the agricultural con- gress at Paris that year in con - any with Lady Denman of England and M. de Vuyst, who bad taken the Institute, idea to Belgium, she had prepared a plan for the constitution; How- ever, the time had not yet come.', Another meeting with 23 coun- tries represented was held at London, England, where Lady Aberdeen', president of the in- ternational Council of Women, gave her support to the: move- ment. They met again at Vienna In 1930 and further plans were made. ' At Stockholm in 1933 the sec - end triennial conference was held and the world organization for rural women became a reality. Mrs. Watt had the honor a naming the new organization. She wrote on a blackboard be- hind the ,speaker's stand, five .Associated Country- women of the World", It was a dramatic Moment, the banding together of 'money five million Women, Mrs, Watt was elected the first president and working with her were Lady Aberdeen and _Miss Zimnierrnan, the first Secretary.

Confer - Phone 102 foe HARVEY'S TAXI AND • AMBULANCE 24,14OUR MVO ences were held at Washington in 1936 and at London in 1939, Then .came' the Second World War and no more were held until 1947 when they .met at Amsterdam. This was Mrs. Watt's last ; vonference. She died the following year at Montreal at. the age of 80 years. :Inspired by the concept of a world-wide association of rural women she had worked tirelessly to that end and the ACWW is a monument to her memory. Mrs, Watt was made a Medd ber of the Order of the .13ritish Empire and was awarded the Order of Agricultural Merit by both the French and Belgium governments. She was great leader and an outstanding we - man. Last year a plaque in memory of her was erected and unveiled at her birthplace in Collingwood, Ontario. The new president elected at Amsterdam was Mrs, Raymond Sayre, a fair woman of Ack- worth, Ohio, who proved to be a diplomatic leader and a power- ful speaker. She presided at the sixth triennial conference held at Copenhagen in 1950 ancnat Tor- onto in 1953 when many of the WI members in this district: at- tended Canada Day and saw the pageant, "Dominion of Destiny," a cavalcade of Canada's history, :Maple Leaf Gardens was packed to the doors that evening, Mrs. Sayre, when she visited Stoney Creek during the confer- ence, said, "The Story of Stoney Creek has four significant points for us to remember: First, it shows the power of an idea; sec- ond, it shows the power of a woman; third, it shows the power of an individual; f o u r t h, it proves thal everyone must be- gin just where they are and with what they have."

Aided by films Miss Bienstock gave many hints and suggestions for creating a home. "The effect, that you wish to achieve will determine how you go about it" she explained. "Deeiding upon this decorative purpose is an important step that should he carefully considered before you begin to decorate your home. Do you want to express formal- ity or informality, comfort or luxury, welcome or aloofness, good cheer and gayety or re- serve and serenity?" "The mood or spirit that you want your home to express tells what utter schemes to select, what type of furniture to buy and how to arrange it. Color is one of the chief means you will use in expressing your decora- tive purpose. Through its wide use one can achieve much" the ladies were told. "Visualize your home as a shell" suggested Miss Bienstock. "Choose a focal point whist you 11.11•0114.1.1,111111114•••••Mi want to emplutsize—a wall, a fireplace, television set, apic- ture hay window and plan around in It is possible to create a cen- tre of interest if there isn't one in the rooms -it could be a large piece of furniture." "It may he a length of drapery material which is pleasing to you, which will decide your color scheme or a patterned floor covering such as a oriental rug may influence the colors you want to use." "Take time for Careful plan - Mug" cautioned the speaker; "draw a floor plan of your room or home and maneuver furniture figures on this plan till you see the best plan for furniture ar- rangement," "The trends today are toward monochromatic schemes where the scheme is based on one un- derlying color. It is a difficult method to handle to get variety for, without variety, we get monotony and boredom." "Ne- ver" advised Miss Bienstock "he guilty of using color schemes because they are the fad—let your creating express yourself."

County, MISS Bette 'Tillman nd ..teee,nse Xanans7 of GENERAL 10001 KITCHIgle Raspberry jam is one of the easi- est to make, as well as the most delicious, so why not try this very successful recipe? SPBERRY JAM 4 miss prepared fruit (about 2 quarts ripe raspberries) cups (23/4 lbs.) sugar 1 bottle Certo fruit pectin To prepare fruit. Crush come nletely. one layer at a time. about 2 quarts fully ripe raspberries, iff desired, sieve half of pulp to re- move some of the seeds.) Measure 4 cups into a very large saucepan. To make Your Jana. To the mease ured fruit in saucepan. add 64 cups sugar. Mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in Certo at once. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle in- to glasses. Cover at once with le inch hot paraffin. Makes about 10 medium glasses. When we mention "pectin" many women say "I don't realty under - steed what it is". Wen, pectin is simply the jelling substance found in all fruits in nerving amounts. Certo is pectin extracted from fruits rich in this natural sub- stance, then reftned, concentrated and performance -controlled. Se naturally, when you use Certo and follow the tested Certo reci- pes, your jam and jetty always sets perfectly! Preserving Pointers: It's a good idea to temper all new glass jars before using. in order to prevent breaking. Simply place the jars on a rack in a pan. cover with cold water, and then heat gradually to the boiling point. Keep canned fruits in a cool dark place. The darkness protects the color, the coolness helps pre- serve the flavor. Keep an eye out for my next column tohich, will have another recipe.
