Women's Institute give service
to rural areas in many .ways
Eighty-nine years of service to the
rural Communities of Ontario is
something that the Women's Institute
is very proyd ot. From the time that
Janet and Erland Lee invited 101
women to hear Adelaide Hoodless
speak, on February 19, 1897, and so
form the first Women's Institute right
through to 1966, the Women's Institute
have been quietly working for the bet-
terment of their communities, Their
educational programmes and their
resolutions may grab the headlines
but often it Is the little things that they
do that are headlines in the
recipient's minds.
The fact several Women's Institute
• members have stopped what they had
planned to do to help serve at a
funeral lunch and that several other
members took the time to make the
lunch may not rate a mention
anywhere, but to the family of the
deceased who say "We knew we could
rely on the Women's Institute" it 10 a
thing in their moment of sorrbw•that
they' do not have to worry about
because the Women's Institute are
there.
To the woman in the .community
who doesn't like to sew for other ac-
tivity) but who would like her
daughter to learn, the fact that there
is a 4H club is a great relief. This
means that a dedicated Women's In-
stitute member has taken the time to
attend the leaders workshop, the time
to prepare for the lessons, and then
given up six to eight mordings or
evenings in order to give the 41.1 par-
ticipants the benefit of their
knowledge.
The Women's Institute have *long
been dedicated to the principles
behind *land they will continue to do
so. The Women's Institute are happy
that it 'Is the 4H participant that
receives •the honour but it must be

remembered that behind every suc-
cessful 4H'er, there is a dedicated
leader and often that person is a
Women's Institute member.
When you take your child to
Western Ontario Children's Hospital
in London and they receive a finger
puppet to help relieve the anxiety, it
may have.been made by a Women's
Institute member. Or when you visit
a relative in a senior citizens' home
and notice that a smiling woman is
helping serve tea at the tuck shop, or
helping with the birthday, or helping,
to buy those extras, be thankful that
there is a Women's Institute branch
in your community.
When your child has music lessons
in school, or when your child drinks
pasteurized milk, or when a car or
truck stops so that your child can
safely board a schoolbus, be thankful
that Women's Institute members had
the wisdom and the foresight to get
these regulations passed. Often in a
small community the STOP sign at a
dangerous intersection is there
because the local Women's"Institute
branch did the necessary behind the
scenes work.
At Christmas time or Easter or at
any other time of the year it will be
the local Women's Institute members
who will be quietly making food boxes
or contributing to other groups such
as the Salvation Army, so that all peo-
ple can receive assistance. Because
the Women's Institute have been do-
ing this for so long it seems that some
people did not realize that this was
something that Women's Institute
have been doing, without going after
publicity every time they did a good
Beed.
When, many of the agricultural
organizations have their meetings or
work shops and they call upon the
Women's Institute to help by catering,
it means that the Women's Institute
members graciously give up their
time to make sure these functions are
a success.
Soon you will have a canvasser
knocking at your door collecting for
the Heart Fund, the Cancer Fund or
other worthy organization. Often in
the rural communities, it is the
Women's Institute members who give
• up their time to do the collecting.
Besides the money collected for such
organizations, last year the Women's
Institute in the London area donated
nearly *100,000 to worthy groups and
projects within the area_
. The Tweed:intdr History books that
the Women's Institute maintain about
their rural communities are often
misunderstood by some people. Each
farm lot, building in the rural com-
munities have had their history writ-
ten up, and maintained by the
Women's Institute members. This has
meant hours of painstaking research
to check the accuracy of each state-
ment. These books are a record of the
rural communities of Ontario. No
other organization has done such a
great job of recording the history of
the rural community as the Women's
Institute has done.
As the Women's Institute
celebrates 89 years of service to the
rural eommtmities they can look for-
ward to the next 89 years as Women's
Institute- Women Involved.
