"ncnn+V 4k Sharing and Caring Sharing and Caring was the theme of the 73rd Annual Convention of the London Area Women's Institute held October 15 and 16 at the St. Mary's Centre. The Thurs- day session of the convention saw an atten- dance of 291 while Friday drew 228 members and guests. As guest speaker at the Thursday even- ing banquet, Mayor Paul Murray told of the work done by the Salvation Army to aid the homeless. He reported that most of the homeless in Canada are under 25 years of age and that homeless women and children, as well as men, are on the in- crease in this country. In April of this year, there were 100,000 homeless in Canada. Mr. Murray also stated that poverty is a worldwide problem and that 1987 has been designated International Year of Shelter for the Homeless. The London Area Women's Institute presented Mary Pardy scholarships to three 'young people as part of the business conducted at the convention. Catherine Sutherland of Middlesex, Susan Moodie and Heather Gillett, both of Oxford Coun- ty, were the worthy receipiants. All three girls are currently pursuing university degrees. A 90th Anniversary Scholarship was given to Mary Alice Roth, a Women's In- st'tute member who is working on her B.A. in ducation. M aret Munro, President of the Federa ed Women's Institutes of Ontario, reported on her activities as president. Lira Ryan will replace Joyce Canning as Co-ordinator of Rural Organizations at Guelph until the winter of 1988 while Mrs. Canning works with Agriculture in the Classroom. It was also announced. that a Leadership Development.. Seminar will be held in Kingston nekt May. This seminar is available for all Public Relation Officers and Program Co-ordinators. The Federated Women's Institutes of Canada will hold their 1988 convention in Newfoundland starting June 23. Ontario has agreed to send a total of 150 delegates. The Women's Institutes of Ontario have donated $50,000 to the University of Guelph to help with the construction of a Nutrition Laboratory there. It should also be noted that video presen- tations on lobbying, the new Family Law Act and Going it Alone with Confidence are now available through local O.M.A.F. offices. During her presentation, Mrs. Munro spoke of visiting with the women of China. The Chinese women wondered why there would ever be divorce in Canada where couples are allowed to choose their own mates. Convenors Muriel Lewis, Jean Roberts, Dorothy Dobbie, Joyce Morgan and Lois Elliott reported on how Caring and Shar- ing fits into the various topic areas. Three resolutions brought before the general assembly included transportation needs of the rural disabled, specific equip- ment needs of disabled adults and AIDS testing for immigrants. These resolutions were sustained at the Area Level. Perth County presented a comical skit on a day in the life of four rural women. The election of officers was conducted by the Ontario President Margaret Munro. New Provincial Board Directors and alter- nates were also elected at the annual convention. Deer tags increased A dramatic increase in the number of deer in Ontario allowed the Ministry of Natural Resources to issue validation tags to 61,548 hunters to hunt antlerless deer this year. That represents an increase of more than 10,000 over last year. The names were selected in a random draw from more than 83,000 applicants. The number of applications for 1987 tags increased by 10 per cent over 1986, and 74 per cent of all hunters applying for th ags were successful in the draw. A record 36,357 deer were harvested a year, and MNR biologists predict that more than 40,000 will be taken in 1987. Almost one third of the 121,345 hunters last year were successful in harvesting a deer and the rate is expected to rise this year. "The provincial deer population has doubled in size, " to more than 200,000 animals, since the antlerless deer validation - tag program was introduced in 1980 to help reduce the harvest of antlerless animals." Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio said. "Relatively mild winters have also contributed to the increased deer population." At the same time, the number of valida- tion tags available has more than quadrupl- ed, from 16,723 in 1980 to more than 71,000 this year. Not all the available '1987 tags were issued this year because there was not enough demand for them in some areas, particularly in wildlife management units designated for archery hunting. MNR wants to hold . deer population den- sities at a level just below the capacity of the range. This will sustain the health of the animals and avoid the dramatic changes in deer numbers often associated with overpopulation. Deer hunting seasons open in many areas in the province on November 2. Most ar- chery seasons begin October 15. Hunters should check the Summary of Hunting !°Regulations, 1987-88, for specific dates�;!,.,,,,,n.,�,., DOUGLAS A. NORSWORTHY, BSC.
