Industries and Members-at-large.

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

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

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".

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-
