As a comparative newcomer to
Women's Institute work, she has
assessed the current situation
with an unbiased eye and was
impressed by it's diversity. She
urged members to mount an
active recruitment campaign to
bolster their dwindling numbers.'
Women's Institute services are
needed more than ever but many
rural residents know nothing
about the organization or its
goals, she said. When it was
founded 80 years ago, child-
rearing . and health standards,
hygiene and nutrition were its
priorities. These still are, but
V
from a different outlook. Single
parent families, communal
families, working mothers,
alcohol and drugs - are the
organizations concern now:Many
people who live in the country
work in the cities nowadays
bringing rural and urban
communities together more.
Miss McGhee termed
Women's Institute a unique
organization because of its wide-
spread use of volunfeers to
distribute information through
4-H courses and seminars for
members (Senior Training
Schools). Each individual of today
must act as an agent of change,
she said.
Changes are forecast in the
outlined courses,. Energy, conser-
vation, freezing, canning, and
pickling and budget courses in
home decorating are being
introduced all with the emphasis
on energy conservation. There
will be changes, in 4-H too, to
accommodate cuts in staff and
budget, she added.
The afternoon speaker was
Miss Elaine Townshend, Clinton,
who outlined the aims and
objectives of ALPHA. Committee
reports were given in the form of
a T.V.Broadcast and the Home.
Economists spoke on energy
appliances, their consumption
and ways of conserving energy
while using them.
At the evening banquet, Jack
Riddell, M.P.P.-was the guest
speaker. never forget that the
Women's Institute was important
before the days of womens'
liberation, he said. Women like .
Ellen Fairclough, Charlotte
Whitton and Judy LaMarsh are
famous. International Women's
Year was disappointing and has
done nothing to bridge the
income gap between the sexes.
Dwelling on National .Unity, he
stressed that our country extends
from sea to sea, but to become
one nation from sea to sea is still a
dream. The people of Canada are
our greatest, resource,
cosmopolitan in outlook with
unlimited opportunities for work
and leisure.
