T-A photo La Leche League met at the home of Mary Beuerman in Seaforth recently, and the discussion was centred on preparing 'your home, your family and yourself before the arrival of the new born. Breastfeeding, it was pointed out, is an easy and natural way of learning to mother a baby. Besides providing complete food and protection from infection and allergy breastfeeding means the comforts and delights of a special closeness for the mother and the child. La Leche League in Huron County will be one year old next month and to honor the occasion a special film night has been arranged for May 6. This meeting will be held in Clinton. Two films will be shown, one examines the im­ portance of early mother­ child relationships and is a Time-Life color production, the other color film is narrated by Natalie Wood and also features Susan St. James and the president of L.L.L. international. The next regular meeting will be held the second Wednesday of "May in Seaforth at 84 Market street at 8 p.m. The general discussion will deal primarily with the im­ portance of good family nutrition and take a look at the various aspects of weaning. The group discussion leader will be Mrs. Peter Bisback from Hensall.

UNITED CO-OPERATIVES OF ONTARIO AILSA CRAIG 109 John St. It was with deep concern and much ^research that resolutions were sustained at the semi-annual meeting of the Federated Women’s Institute of Toronto this week. Not only are they making decisions for the 30,000 members in Ontario, but for all citizens that may be effected by the action. These resolutions are sent in from all over the Province and require much deliberation. The Directors were strong in their vote regarding the gifts of money paid by Canada Council to writers of obscene literature and will urge that the Canada Council be directed to give their grants to more worthy projects. The members approved, in principle, many resolutions and urged the membership to take individual action. Resolutions were sustained regarding land fill sites, possible Canada pension DOZENS OF VALUES THROUGHOUT OUR STORE AS OUR GIGANTIC E-X-P-A-N-S-l-O-NE-X-P-A-N-S-l-O-N A AA A CONTINUES payments by homemakers, and the request that the food colorant Amaranth (red dye No. 2) be banned. The members wish to commend the many government ministries for their continued efforts on behalf of the people, regarding improved health standards, consumer con­ cerns, the penal reform laws, and the rehabilitation programs being im­ plemented. With Education being an important part of the Women’s Institute work, scholarships continue to be awarded. Through the Home Economics Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, over 5,500 4-H girls were instructed in homemaking skills, and over 34,000women took part in the senior training program in the past year. Miss Molly McGhee, the Director of Home Economics, said that in this day there is a growing need for education in the preservation and safety of foods, food processing and food additives, and her staff is preparing courses that will be available for all women. Mrs. Clarence Diamond, as provincial president, encouraged the women to “strengthen the family unit,” and indeed the Women’s Institute does just that with its extensive educational programs. An important phase of this work is the officers conference to be held at the Waterloo University from May 2 to the 4, when delegates from all over the province will come together to learn by listening, being involved in discussions, and par­ ticipation. The decision was made that the donations that are sent in for UNESCO will be forwarded to Zambia to provide fresh piped water. The F.W.I.O. also shows its concern for others with $1,500.00 being sent to the Women’s organization in Cameroon National Union, to assist in setting up training establishments for rural leaders. The Erland Lee Home at Stoney Creek remains the priority project of this organization as we preserve the heritage of the Founder. Mrs. Austin Zoeller, as chairman of this committee, has plans underway for a Women’s Institute week from June 5 to 9, when visitors will be welcomed at the home to observe crafts, exhibits, and see the many improvements that have been made. The F.W.I.O. continues its membership in the “Coalition to Preserve Foodland,” and commends the interest that is shown by the organizations involved. We are pleased to be asked to have representation in the Ontario Hall of Fame Association, which was formed in order to establish and maintain a gallery for recognition of persons who have made a contribution to the field of Agriculture. It was refreshing and inspiring to hear the report from the Junior Women’s Institute. Mrs.James Thompson told of the formation of three new branches since the first of the year. They are studying new ideas to improve their programs and meet the needs of today.
