Bowman, Manager 425 Main St., Exeter 0 -Native women's rights are stressed at London area WI "Why, and Why not", was the theme of the London Area Con- vention of the Women's Institute which was attended by delegates from all the ninebranches in the South Huron area. One in- conspicious paragraph in the daily paper reports is of special significative to area people, regarding the resolution on Indian women's rights when their husbands die intestate. Due to the interest of Mrs. Olive Hicks of Hprondale W.I. and the support of her branch members, this resolution is aimed a tchanging the Indian Act of 1867 to give Indian women the right to administer their husband's estate as may any other Canadian women in similar circumstances. Much research was done by Mrs. Hicks, assisted by the District Resolutions Convener, Mrs. Hilda Payne, to bring this inequality to the District W.I. and when they sustained the motion it was taken to the London area, Now passed by the area, this resolution only has to pass the Provincial Committee to be forwarded to the Federal Government for consideration I I and possibly, a change in the Act. Our Huron-Middlesex M.P. Mr. Robert McKinley is to be thanked for assistance in getting this far. Why this resolution? Because the Women's Institute is "For Home and Country, "Why not?" we said, and maybe we will be helping our native sisters. Official delegates to the Con- vention from the South Huron area were Mrs. Roylance Westcott, Exeter South Huron president, and Mrs. Gordon Papple, RR 5 Seaforth who is Board Director for District No, 23. She was the only Board Director in the London area who has not completed her term of office, Mrs. Emerson Stanley of RR 2 Denfield being elected to District No. 21, and Mrs. Keith Heipler, RR 2 Springfield being elected to District No, 22. Other Officers elected are president, Mrs. Wallace Laidlaw, RR 7 London, first vice-president, Mrs, Leonard Caffyn RR 5 Ingersoll, second vice-president, Mrs. Keith Iliepler; secretary, Mrs Wilfred Keutsch, Sebringville and treasurer, Mrs, Clifford Ritchie, RR 3 Parkhill, Among committee conveners elected were Citizenship and World Affairs, Mrs. Elson Lynn, RR 1 Woodham and to the Western Fair Association Mrs. Duncan Flet- cher, RR 1. Ilderton. The convention was held at Grace United Church in St, Thomas, on Wednesday and Thursday, October 15 and 16 with Mrs. Gordon Papple among those on the reception committee, President Mrs. Wallace Laidlaw urged members to get away from routine, be happy, have fun and try new things suitable for both young and old, and to advertise in the community, She reminded us We are part of the Associated Country Wemen of the World. Mrs. Maluske, president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario gave a stimulating ad- dress. She first introduced Mrs. Grace Drummond of Kippen, who was in the audience, as fellow schoolmate. She reminded us all that W.I. members have something to do at all levels, (1) something to love, our jobs in W our fellow members, (2) something to hope for, and that reports are most important in that respect. The "I's " have, it Ideas, Improvements, Involvement," Next year, Pauline McGibbon, Ontario's Lieut-Governor will be at the Officer's Conference at Waterloo University and the week of May 31 will be Erland Lee Home week. The next ACWW conference will be in Nairobi, Kenya in October 1977,We all speak two languages, the language of Criticism and the language of Commendation — we often forget to use our second language. We should voice our concern over violence by writing to the Royal Commission on Violence stating where, when and what is not liked. Rev, Anne Langford, the af- ternoon guest speaker, spoke on women's place in society. We must not let our natural assets and abilities be snatched from our hands by fighting for women's rights. What we should aim for is partnership, women com- plimenting men, and vice versa. "Each needs the other to fulfill God's purposes" said Dr. Langford. Among the committee reports Mrs". C.M. Williams, curator, reported that next year's workship will be held in Tillsonburg Museum, August 10, After the afternoon session there was a bus tour to Elgin County Pioneer Museum which was set up with the help of the local W.I.'s in the late 1940's. More time could have been happily spent there. At the evening session, an original skit was presented by South Huron members Mrs. Frances Kinsman and Mrs. Marlene Bell of Kippen and Mrs. Doreen Coleman and Mrs. Helen Scott of Seaforth on setting up programs for meetings which should be educational, inspirational and recreational. This was followed by other skits and musical numbers, including a solo by Mrs. Wesley Bradnock of Auburn, past president of London area, On Thursday morning nine resolutions were presented by Mrs, Bradnock, Resolutions Convener, urging measures be taken against detrimental use of good agricultural land for land- fill sites, the improper use of alcohol, the increasing use of profanity on T.V. and the ac- cessibility of adult reading material to juveniles. Seaforth branch was first among the display of quilts and their quilt will be sent to the Provincial Tweedsmuir Com- petition. Next year an invitation has been extended to hold the convention in Tillsonburg. At the closing session in the afternoon, Miss Helen McKer- cher gave a short message from the Home Economics Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Toronto. Miss McKercher is a native of Seaforth. All the County Home Economists presented a demonstration on Using scarves as accessories to present day fashions. Principal demonstrators were Miss Jane Pengilly, Huron County, and Mrs. Carol Crerar, Middlesex County, Other counties included at the convention were Perth, Oxford and Elgin, This concluded a busy and satisfying two days.
