Crafts, travelogue
for Hurondale WI
The Citizenship and World Affairs
committee led by Helen Webber was
in charge of the November meeting
of the Hurondale Womens' Institute
held at Usborne Central School.
Barbara Passmore and her two
daughters Chris and Kim showed the
many and varied Christmas crafts
they had made and explained, briefly
how they were done.
David McLure and his wife
Margaret shared their pictures and
impressions of Great Britain and
Ireland taken during their year on
Teachers' Exchange in Birmingham.
The motto, 'People like fire take on
a new brightness if you stir them up
a bit,' was given by Lorraine Alex-
ander. She called our attention to the
way in which people rally to help in
disasters as in Barrie and accidents
like the young man in Londesboro
who suffered a severe handicap while
swimming this summer.
A Christmas sing song was led by
Fern Dougall with Ann Brodie at the
piano. Christmas poems were read by
Lois McFalls and current events by
Erlma Keller.
The roll call, 'What am I doing as
a volunteer?' affirmed that Institute
members do their share.
During the business, conducted by
President Erlma • Keller, motions
were passed to order 10 copies of
Federated News, to pay curator's
membershop in the Historical Socie-
ty, to give the same amount as last
year to the School Fair and other
prizes, to the Family and Childrens'
Services and to the Town and Coun-
try Homemakers.

Annual Institute meeting
full-time secretary
okays y
the Social Assistance Review Com-
mittee. Representatives of FWIO at-
tended seminars and disseminated
the information to the Board which
then filters to the members -at -large:
Safe Use of Pesticides; Nuclear
Waste Management; Leadership -It's
Up To You; and Pay Equity by the
Ontario Advisory Council on Women's
Issues. Having previously done a pilot
project on child clay care, FWIO
decided that membership with Coali-
tion for Better Day Care would be
beneficial.
During the annual meeting, the
Board sustained these resolutions:
that legislation be introduced to make
all pop and alcoholic beverage con-
tainers refundable; that top priority
be given and effective action taken
now to reverse the damage to the en-
vironment by acid rain; that FWIO
disagrees with the principle of "rate
- rebalancing" as related to telephone
service; that action be taken to ban
the advertising of alcoholic beverages
on television in Ontario; that the
judicial system be monitored to challenges of today.
Change and challenge highlighted
the annual board meeting of the
Federated Women's Institutes of On-
tario held at the Bond Place Hotel,
Toronto.
"In 1957, 1 joined the Women's In-
stitute, a step which I have never
regretted. It opened up new worlds
and - gave me the opportunity of
meeting new people, to be exposed to
new situations and to network with
other organizations."
These thoughts were expressed by
Mrs. Margaret Munro, newly elected
President of Federated Women's In-
stitutes of Ontario. Mrs. Munro feels
that "the organization will continue to
flourish because of its solid founda-
tion, the dedication and enthusiasm of
the members coupled with its adap-
tability. Changes within our organiza-
tion which are even now in progress
does not alter our aims and purposes,
but rather the process by which they
are achieved. By correcting its
weaknesses and building on its
strengths, it will enable us to meet the
challenge of this very fast changing
world." Mrs. Munro is from Eastern
Area and lives on a dairy farm at
R.R. 1, Carp, Ontario.
One of the changes taking place
within the FWIO is the hiring of a full
time executive secretary. Applica-
tions for this position are to be submit-
ted to the FWIO office by February
20, 1987. Following the interviews in
March, the successful applicant will
begin to assume duties in April.
Other changes being implemented
are: inclusion of other Ontario,rural
women's groups in the readership of
Home and Country; new method of
electing Provincial Board Directors;
installing a Program Coordinator at
all levels of the organization; and in-
corporating the revised constitution
and by-laws into a new handbook.
Women's Institute continues to ac-
cept the challenges related to the con-
cerns and issues of today's society.
FWIO appointed a committee to com-
pile a submission to be presented to

Reports showed that FWIO also ad-
dressed challenges regarding the
agricultural industry. Women's In-
stitute organized a successful
seminar on "How Will Free Trade Af-
fect Farm and Rural Families?";
presented a brief to a task force of
agrologists on The Future for On-
tario's Agricultural Industry; and
sent representation to the seminar
Shape of the Agricultural and Food
Industry in the Year 2000: Implica-
tions and Opportunities. FWIO

meetings of the Federation of
Agriculture, Royal Agriculture

After all...
she's my
sister.
There were times when I thought
she'd never make it through adolescence.
If 1 could have come up with a fool
proof way to get rid of her...I probably
would have.
Shc was always following nic around.
embarrassing me in front of my friends.
and getting me into trouble.
But now that our lives have followed
their separate paths...it seems
we just can't see enough of each
other.
She's the best friend. listener and
companion I ever had...
After all, she's my sister.
This year I'm going to show her how
much she means to me with a
personal gift from Looking Good
Fashions.
