Institute Holds Picnic Meeting The Women's Institute en- joyed a picnic at Riverside Park last Wednesday. The members met at the hall where the presi- dent, Mrs. R. Powell, conduct- ed the business.

Cars transported the ladies to the park, where about 50 members, visitors and children enjoyed games and contests conducted by Mrs. Ethel Henry and Mrs. J. Currie. Several prizes were given. Supper was enjoyed at tables beside the river. The weather was beautiful and all appreciat- ed this lovely park which has been provided for the enjoy- ment of all. Another picnic will be held at the park in Au- gust. If you use home -rendered lard for pie -crust, whip it in an electric mixer first. Your crust will be lighter and flakier. STEDMAN'S PHONE 357-2560 WINGHAM ANNUAL SALES LADIES' SAL FEATURING ITEMS AT 15 to 20%off ALL SUMMER MERCHANDISE 20%off HANDY CREDIT PLAN AND LAYAWAY PLAN ANOTHER WINGHAM "BIKE 'N' BUCK" STORE Manitoulin Island -- eight- een tribes from six different na- tions will assemble here Aug. 1, 2 and 3 for one of the most spectacular exhibitions of In- dian culture to be found on this continent. In only three years it has become recognized as THE North American Powwow, with tribal -garbed participants coming from 27 widely separat- ed regions of Canada and the United States. The event is held in a reser- vation village with an almost unpronounceable name, W ik- wemikong, in the southwest • corner of this, the world's larg- est fresh -water island, near Ca- nada - U. S, territorial bound- ary on Georgian Bay. To find time for all the cere- monies, tribal dances and other traditional events, daily pro- grams will begin practically at dawn and continue well into the night. Represented this year will be the Mic Mac from Nova Scotia, Plain Cree from the Canada prairies, Chippawa from North- western Ontario and Michigan, Woodland Cree from Quebec, Swampy Cree from Northern On- htario, Mohawk from the Grand River Valley and Deseronto, Delaware from Ontario and Michigan, Soto from Saskat- chewan, Taos Pueblo from New Mexico, Sac and Fox from Iowa, Pawnee from Oklahoma, Pottawatami from Walpole Is- land, Ontario; Hopi from the southern U.S., Abanaki from Quebec; and of course the host nation of the Odawa of Wikwe- mikong -- the only uncededIn- dian territory in all Canada. Aside from the varied tribal ceremonies, visitors get to see Indian artists at work -- basket weaving, intricate beading, unusual carving and the almost forgotten art of building birch canoes. Manitoulin Island can be reached via the mainland over a network of Causeways from Espanola and Little Current in the north, or by car ferry from Tobermory on the tip of Bruce Peninsula to South Bay Mouth. Full information on Manitoulin Island and all other resort re- gions throughout the province may be obtained by writing to the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information, 67 College St., Toronto. Exhibition of Contemporary Paintings by Canadians An exhibition of contempor- ary paintings by Canadian ar- tists is on display in the Savings Department of the Head Office of British Mortgage and Trust Company at 1 Ontario Street, Stratford. The public is invited to see this display which will be on view until July 31st. The paintings comprise part of the collection owned by Brit- ish Mortgage and Trust. In each of the company's 15 of- fices hang a number of pictures specially chosen to suit their surroundings. One painting has been selected from each of- fice. The British Mortgage collec- tion has been assembled over the past 30 years. One of the earliest paintings purchased is a large landscape by Homer Watson, which was borrowed re- cently by the National Gallery at Ottawa for an exhibition there. W. H. Gregory, chairman of the board and former presi- dent and managing director, said that when he purchased the first painting for the company it was most unusual for a busi- ness corporation to spend money on original art. "Our decision," he said, "has proved to be wise. Not only have the paintings in- creased in value, but the com- pany now owns paintings that would be difficult to acquire today. We also like the dis- tinctive atmosphere. We find that the public and staff like looking at them, although eve- ry painting may not appeal to them. It is not easy to find the right painting for each area, but when one does, it creates a certain mood and enhances the whole area." Among the artists whose work is included in the British Mortgage collection are such well-known names as Carl Schaefer, John Gould, Francis Bott, Franz Johnston, R. York Wilson, Kazuo Nakamura, A. J. Casson, Bruno Bobak and William Roberts. THRIFTY MEAT BUY Pork or beef liver and bacon make a nourishing and econ- omical meal. Panfry the liver in the fat left after frying the bacon.
