MARY MORTON 5 A woman told me once that the first cake she made was sponge cake, When she asked her mother to sample it, the mother said she had eaten so many sponge cakes when the children were small that she didn't care to eat any more. I felt sorry for the ambitious young baker,. andrecalling this story reminded me that this is the time of year when eggs being plentiful, we can make various kinds of sponge and angel food cakes, including jelly rolls. 3 eggs 1 c. sugar 3 tbsp. cold water 1 c. flour 1 tsp. baking powder IA tsp. salt • Beat eggs and sugar until quite thick, add water, then flour, salt and baking powder sifted together twice.

She reported that there was keen diseussicni on the report on "Historical Research," and she asked that each branch prepare a "Tvveedsamir" scrap book or a book with all the interesting items of the branch since its organization in order to have it up-to-date by 1947, when the Women's Institutes will celebrate their 50th anniversary. The provincial president asked that the various Die. tricts work -on this project for the golden jubilee three years hence. Told of International. Meeting Miss Mary Clarke's address told of the meeting of International' Women Presidents in North "America, which she attended in New York in October, The two basic principles held in com- mon by all members of the gathering and fundamental for the peace of the world are: First—that no peaceful future can exist for the world in gen.: eral unless national and international law is based on the idea of scriptural power; and second—that .no one gen- eration can own the earth, but each is a trustee for the' generation to follow. In the :address,of Mrs. Holmes, the Provincial president, she inspired the members to keep the organization at full strength so as to be prepared to meet the' responsibilities of the post war world.. She stressed friendliness by, the members in promoting our organization, and asked that we put forth every effort to welcome strang, ers,sspecially English war brides. She made a .plea that women should have a place, not only at the peace confer- ence, but at any and every meeting. that dealt with postwar plans. Mrs, E. Hansuld, Tavistock, 2nd vice-president of the London area, addressed the gathering,and urged all, to put "first things first" and not to forget the spiritual side of the work, She stressed loyalty to the officers and to the branches. "The greatest ob- stacle to world peace," she said, "is the smallscale narrow individual," The first casualty of the war, she stated, was the home, The home is the centre, but not the boundary of a woman's life, She brought" greetings from the "Area." Mrs. E, „Rice, of St. Helens, was another guest soloist of the afternoon who delighted all by her contribution, Miss E. Kidd, the department speak- er, spoke of the great opportunity wo- men of, today have in participating in war ware:. We need women Who have tolerance,,and Who can work together for a common cause. One of the most dangerous elements in the ,world to- day is 'lack of interest in public affaies. She urged all to exercise their franch- ise intelligently. Neighborliness, can- not be stressed too greatly. Recreation centres should be a part of our Wo- men's Institute program. Money spent to improve the lives of our young people is never wasted,, she stated. She told of the reopening in the Fall of the D.A.C. which had been closed as a ''contribution ,to the war effort. She outlined the Co-Operative program, UM , owing to the war, the , district decided not to introduce any of the suggested prageamS this year., Only one resolution. was presented by the resolutions committee, and that came from Xintail. It had reference M securing more sugar . by farmers who have extra meals to .serve for threshing and sila-fillieg. However, it was. pointed out, that this has already been ,taken 'care of by the board, so the resolution was withdrawn. There was no invitation extended for the 1945 District Annual so it was left for the executive to make atrange- ments for a place of meeting at a later date, After the victory garden has been planned, prepared and planted it is unpatriotic to let it be ruined by in- sects, Vigilance, however, is required to protect the victory garden against its enemies, Cabbage plants, for example, have many insect enemies ready and waiting to attack them, and most of the insects MORRIS COUNCIL .
