The pageant is a feature of the big program of the Women's Institutes of Ontario en- tertaining the Associated Country Women of the World between August 12 and 23. That the Women's Institutes have and are doing a great work in (Canada is often not fully realized by the average citizen. For this reason it is interesting to note what Editor Hugh Templin of the Fergus News -Record has to say, as follows: Tremendous ,lob The Women's Institutes have done a tremendous job of changing life in the rural parts of Ontario— and presumably elsewhere. There are sceptical husbands, probably proud ones, too, who, will say: "What have the Institutes done? Just taught us farmers - to eat salads!" It may be an° indication of the trend,- but that is an under- statement. "Never underestimate the power of a woman," as one magazine says. The difference in two generations in the lives of farm women is as great a change on the farms as the disappearance of houses. Originally, the Insti- tutes provided a social. outlet for hundreds of women,- who went seldom to town and had no other social contacts, _-_exceRt the rural churches. The churches were more interested in. their soul than their bodies in those days. The Insti- tute taught better ways of living, more scientific nutrition, and how to conduct meetings. Long befo.c women got a vote, some 35 years ago, Institute members were learn- ing how to elect officers, the duties of the president and -the secretary, and how to work by means of com- mittees. The farm women were "Never under9;timate the power of a woman" while the members 'enjoyed "a social half-hour" of news and gossip. Other Institutes follow what seems to be the identical pattern, but they go a lot farther. They work for community betterment. Some of them'have been respon- sible for community halls and sim- ilar big projects. They are not afraid of arguing local topics or of bringing well-known speakers. They help along the public health. They have booths at Fairs and auc- tion sales and other places where they can raise money. They delve deeply into local history and re- cord their findings. They help to found museums. They hold dances, feed the men folks at big public dinners, or operate and encourage rural sports. They still hesitate to turn out to township nomination meetings, but that would seem to be a logical step, long over -due. giving speeches on "topics," us- - Changed Lives ually suggested by somebody in Of course, other factors besides the Department of Agriculture at Women's Institutes have changed Toronto.

D. ;E. Holmes, Q.C., in .juvenile court here last Thursday. He was tinea $50 and costs and was placed on suspended sentence for two years. He was also in- structed to enter into his own recognizance for $100 to keep the peace and refrain from contact with juveniles. Evidence was that a 15 -year-old Auburn youth was alleged to have bought same - beer from the ac- cused. It was alleged that the accused enticed juveniles in the district to steal gasoline from vari- ous farms for his use. Pitblado pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied selling liquor to juveniles and enticing, them to steal gasoline. The de- fenee maintained that the juveniles were delinquents before they be- came associated with Pitblado.
