This is a training session for Officers of Women's. Institute. This year it is for Branch Secretary-treasurers, conveners of Agriculture and Canadian Industries and Members-at-large. There wa's a registration of 600. The delegates gathered at the Humanities Theatre Tuesday afternoon when the immediate past president, Mrs. Harvey L. Noblitt was chairman for the session and introduced the new president, Mrs. Herb Maluske, Chesley. She spoke on the theme of the Conference "Undertake some- thing that is 'difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow" - Ronald E. Osborn. This growth process is a lifetime thing. I believe there is no time in one's life when one can say he has stopped growing. Learning goes on as long as we live, adding new facts and skills. 50 per cent of the intellectual capacity of an adult' has been developed by age of 4 and 80 per cent by age 8. As this is Mrs. Robt. B. Weber's six and last term as Secretary treasurer of the Officer's Conference, we wish to pay tribute for the masterful way in which she has run the conference. I wish to suggest a couple of things we could start mastering. The art of listening. If Canada. "You and Your Organi- you undertake to pay strict nation". The first concern of attention to all directives and follow them then there is no need to ask Mrs. Weber to repeat directions. Officers' Conference is a training session, learning experience for you. There is not time at the next meeting to report on all you have learned, but rather you can also interject with factual information after a period of many years. When a term of office expires, be willing to show the incoming person. "the ropes". Let us undertake to understand one another and master the skill Ontario WI has training session rural women is for families, their communities, and last, them- selves. As an individual W.I. member, you are the link to join community together around the, province,' across Canada and to our Internation 'organizations. We need tolerance, sincerity, courage, wisdom, - honesty and the close relationship of a family unit. It is our responsibility to be well informed, with compassion and concern for those suffering injustice. No easy task lies ahead. of tolerance. Since last year this time, we have been hearing much about. International Women's Year with its slogan - equality, development and peace. How can we have peace if there is none of it in the home? • There are three steps leading to perfect harmony; think kindly of every person; speak kindly and act kindly toward him or her. "Let there be peace in the world and may it begin with me." We must voice strong united opinions against the increasing use of profanity in the media and on television, display of violence and obscenity, alcolholism, drugs, abortion, rape and the list goes on. OUr forbearers strugg- led hard to establish good moral standards and it behooves ,us to undertake to- uphold them or the very foundation of our nations will collapse and bring the structure down with it. The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, addressed the -gathering. Greetings were given by Dr. Holmes, Director of Research Administration, Uni- versity of Waterloo. Lively musical interludes were lead by Mrs. R. J. Winmill and' pinist Mrs. Harold Roland.
