If Adelaide }foodless
was alive today, her heart
would surely burst with
pride as she viewed how
the Women's Institute has:
grown over the past 100.
years.
The first Women's
Instituteof Ontario was
was the culmination of
endeavors by Mrs,
Hoodless to ensure that ,
there was an educational
forum for women ' to learn.
modern methods of caring,
for their families. Her. 18-
month old soli had. died
from drinking impure
milk,
It was,,at the 'Stoney
Creek Farriers' Institute
`meeting •that ws.
}foodless' campaign for a
women's organizatton,.,to
study homemaking in•.the
same way -that their bus -
bands studied farming,:
drew the ` attention of
`grland Lee.. •
On Feb. 19; 1897, 101
women and one man
Lee, whoacted as. chair-
man, 'Set in motion an
organization. that would
continue to grow encom-
passing. all provinces
under the umbrella of The
Federated Women's
Institutes of Canada, to
the eventu,;
al birth of

}foodless
is 'described as "a woman
of vision with courage and
ability to work and fight
for a broader education
for women." As a leader,
educator and pioneer in
adult education she took.
that fortitude and worked
tirelessly, untilher death
in February 1940, to
ensure that women' were
given the opportunity to
broaden the scope of their
a years
and Count:
knowledge and abilities
following the WI motto
"For Home and Country.
The efforts of 'the
Federated Women's.
Institute of Ontario have
been remarkable, so -
times going unnoticed:or
unknown. They have been
invaluable
to , their
communi-
ties through
4fairsand-H; ' fallin~ .
libraries,
hospitals
and nursing
homes. WI members are
.responsible for develop-
ments such as bagged
bread and potatoes, hot
inflates in schools, the
painting of white lines on
provincial highways,.
mandatory stopped far
schoolbuses with flashing
lights and clear :markings
on poison Containers,'to
name only a few.
During the vicar pear's
they worked tirelessly to
. provide. packages of ,knit-
ted items, homemade.
foods andquilts for those
overseas.
One hundred years
. later, WI members, fol-
lowing the theme
"Indebted to the Past -
Committed: to the Future",.
pay tribute to those who..
were responsible for the
original idea.
The aim of the WI
today is to concern them
selves with the problenis
of human beings and their
relationships' in a rapidly
changing world- - where,
distances are' diminishing
and the problems of one
nation have a bearing
upon.many others. Great
social and. economic prob-
lems confront women
everywhere.
Happy birthday to
Women's Institutes' .- may
your growth in the next
century be as remarkable
as it, was in the first.
