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

that there was keen diseussicni on the

she asked that each branch prepare

to have it up-to-date by 1947, when

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
