Arthritis Society seeks support Federation hospitable group Hospitality is always a word that comes to mind when you think of visiting a farm family or any one who lives in rural Ontario. Hospi­ tality is certainly a word that can be applied to all the activities of Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario. At the urging of one of the FWIO Board Directors, Gillian Catto from Whitefish, FWIO now has a list of WI members from all over Ontario who are prepared to open up their homes by providing a comfortable bed and breakfast next morning, but more important than all that is the opportunity to sit around the kitchen table and talk about con­ cerns and activities common to all. A nominal charge has been set to cover expenses. While attending the FWIO Conference in Ottawa in June, the FWIO President Elect Marg Eberle and PRO Geraldine Campbell took the opportunity of using the hospitality home list to break the long journey. The infor­ mation gained and discussed was invaluable for all concerned. Other W.I. members are opening up their homes to overseas visitors. This year there has already been one bus load of English W.I. members visiting rural Ontario and more are planned for this year. This is a great way of exchanging ideas and concerns but also is a chance to show off Canadian farm­ ing methods and even more impor­ tant still, make a friend in another country. Just as anyone in Elgin West District who hosted the Yorkshire W.I. visitors. When the Nebraska Council of Home Extension Clubs, (mainly farm women; wanted to find out about farming and farm and rural women’s organizations in Canada, they contacted Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada who in turn handed it over to FWIO. Last year FWIO hosted a visit from Harriett Steeson, a farmer’s wife from Nebraska. This June, Margaret Munro, Past President FWIO, was hosted by the Nebraskan women. Margaret not only talked about Ontario and farming methods in Ontario but she also learned about farm life in Nebraska. She is to prepare a slide show and talk of her experiences in Nebraska which will be available to anyone who wants an interesting programme. A group of 26 FWIO Board Directors and members, and one brave husband, lead by FWIO President Peggy Knapp, journeyed to England in July to help the Women’s Institutes of England and Wales celebrate the 75th anniver­ sary of Women’s Institutes in England and Wales. As part of those celebrations FWIO hosted a reception at Ontario House, Lon­ don, at which time a special collage of FWIO photos and Canadian books were presented to the W.I. of England and Wales. The Ontario W.I. members then experienced English W.I. hospitality as well as taking in courses at Denham Col­ lage, the W.I. training school in England. At any time W.I. hospitality can be enjoyed at the Erland Lee (Museum) Home at Stoney Creek. They have three special events late this year. On August 25, they held a Victorian Tea Party. Their tradi­ tional Harvest Festival, Oct. 3 and 4 will feature ‘‘Milk Stools and Butter Churns” and will honour the Dairy Industry. On Dec. 5 come and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of Christmas at the Lee. The Erland Lee (Museum) Home is open 10 - 4, Tuesday to Saturday and they would love you to drop in for a visit and see the dining room table where Janet Lee hand penned the first constitution of the very September is Arthritis Month and after nearly four decades of research there have been tremen­ dous achievements made in diag­ nosis and treatment of this painful, debilitating illness.
