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 The Debutante* Machine Model 6212 5 popular stitches • Built- in buttonholer • Drop-in bobbin • Adjusts to various fabric thicknesses • Free arm for sewing sleeves • Built- in handle Our special price • Knitting baskets '• Scissors • Sewing baskets • Yarn • Knitting Needle Sets etc. 'We service who.t we sell" Gen's Knitting & Sewing Centre INGER GETTING A PROGRAM — Exeter Lion John Norris picks up a pro- gram to Tuesday's Sportsmen's Dinner from.

JOIN WEIGHT WATCHERS DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AND THIS FOOD SCALE IS YOURS FREE! 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. Gift.
