Brussels WI. donates to mentally retarded
The Majestic Women's
Institute met in the library
basement Wednesday, May
9.
The new President Dor-
othy Steffler read a Spring-
time poem and welcomed all
members and guests. Ila
McLarty, Secretary, read the
minutes of the April meeting
and Alberta Smith, Treas-
urer, gave the financial
report.
It was decided to give
donations to the - Mentally
Retarded and to the Unitar-
Accounting to our children
Is WI theme
"Each generation makes
its own accounting to its
children" (Robert F. Ken-
nedy}' was the theme of the
31st Officers conference of
the Federated Women's
Institute of Ontario at the
Waterloo University.
Dr. Richard Barham,
Chairman of the Department
of Family Studies College at
Guelph University englarged
on this theme in his address
to almost 600 delegates from
across the Province. He
stated that "though the
majority of Young people in
Canada today have adequate
shelter, warmth and space
still in this International Year
of the Child we must exam-
ine the general well-being of
the Nations children and
become aware of the chang-
ing role of parents and the
increasing number of one
parent families. We are chal-
lenged to consider what
account we can make to our
children."
Mrs. Clarence Diamond,
the President of the Feder-
ated Women's Institute of
Ontario, in speaking to the
delegates, who were mostly
Curators of Tweedsmuir
Histories, stressed the
importance of preserving our
heritage. In 1950 the
Women's Institute began
their research, study and
compilation of Community
history on Lady Tweeds-

muir's request and guidance.
The past 32 years have been
rewarding and this con-
ference is to be a means of
informing the women that
they may go home with
knowledge and encourag-
ment to continue this project.
Miss Molly McGhee, the
Director of Home Economics
Branch, Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food spoke of the
need for women to motivate
the public particularly the•
young people to be immu-
nized. She is hopeful that
Canadians will develop a
greater appreciation and
improve their rights and
opportunities for self-
fulfilment.
In 1903 the Ministry pro-
vided one Home Economist
and this year had 40 plus 2
specialists who reached
70,000 through their short
courses. Miss McGhee
praised the Women's insti-
tute for providing more than
5,000 volunteer leaders.
Appreciation was ex-
pressed to the Hon. Wm. G.
Newman, Minister of Agri-
culture and Food who took
time from his busy schedule
to bring greetings and
express his thanks to the
Women's Institute who are
making an investment in the
future through their work.
David Roberts, Research Co-
ordinator Ministry of Rec-
reation and Culture address-
ed the delegation and later
conducted an informative,
que"Slion and answer plen-
ary session. With the tre-
mendous upsurge in Histor-
ical research he felt the
Women's Institute Tweeds-
muir Histories will become
increasingly recognized.
Though each book may vary
still it will tell the history of
its community. Mr. Roberts
recommended the books be
mi:c rofilmed and the film
will be kept in the Archives
in Toronto. Some groups will
be compiling local history
books.
The Curators were chal-
lenged to research and pre-
serve the past for the next
generation. There was time
at the Conference for relax-
ation as the ladies enjoyed
"an evening in song" by the
K-W Harmonizers.
