Chapter at the Annual Meeting
in Hamilton in April.
The Regent explained for the
benefit off' newcomers, the dif-
ference between the various
Chapters and their reasons for
being; also duties of coun-
cillors, who .represent the mem-
bers at Provincial mgetings.
Mrs: E.F. MacKay , Provin-
cial President, addressing the
meeting, told the opening
session that I.O.D.E. work, had
always been conducted within
the framework of the objects of
the Order, despite changes in
standards and morals.
The Imperial Order
Daughters of the Empire was
founded by Mrs. Clark Murray
of Montreal in 1900 to assist
families of veterans who fought
in the Boer War. Since then it
has tempered two world wars.
Many believe the order
reached its peak as a force,
during those years, when, to
join the Order, was the
patriotic thing to do. Today, to
meet the needs of the times,
projects encompass an ever
widening field.
Programmes such as At-
tawapiskat, where under great
difficulty, materials were tran-
sported, to build a Community
Hall, which to the Indians is
the Taj Mahal, also the Anti
V.D. programme. These have
involved I.O.D.E. in the field of
Social Services. Mrs. MacKay
said, some members felt that to
get involved such as this, was a
bit' radical, but the programme
is being used.
Guest Speaker, Dr. James
Morrison, Medical Officer V.D.
Control -...section, commended
the 1.0.D.E. for sponsoring this
programme. He said the figures
for V.D. reported cases in On-
tario, have risen from 9,578 in
1971 to 15,987 in 1972.
During the evening session,
Mrs. R.B. Craik, Past President
spoke, in support of this
programme, and reminded the
500 delegates that in the early
1900's I.O:D.E. played a big
part in, getting the first T.B.
Sanatorium in Operation.
The guest speaker at this
session, -was Dr. H.C. Soltan a
geneticist and head of
pediatrics at University of
Western Ontario London. He
said there is considerable need
for more research into genetic
medicine. Dr. Soltan told
delegates that British Colum-
bia and Quebec are the only
two Provinces in Canada that
have established a registry to
aid in the research. All
diagnosis and chromosomal
analyses in the Quebec
Province are recorded in the
register which provides infor-
mation on the frequency of oc-
currence of a disorder.
Although there is some talk
of a registry being established
in Ontario Dr. Soltan was
unable to say when, but it
would• be most helpful in
providing counselling and
treatment for patients with
genetic disease, also in the
prevention. of genetic defects.
In conjunction with this,
Mrs. MacKay said, the aim of
the National Chapter's 75 an-
niversary project iq to start a
fund known as the Concern for
Children Fund. It was agreed
to donate $1,000 immediately
toward this very needy project.
To raise money for this Fund,
Chapter members will be asked
to sell the "I.O.D.E. Rose"
bushes. This rose is , a red
floribunda and is !aping
developed by a grower /hear
Toronto.
Mrs. Egmont Frankel gave a
very inspiring talk on the need
for the volunteer.
Mrs. Dalton, organizing
secretary of the Provincial
Chapter, after speaking on
'membership, asked for
questions from the floor.
The delegate from the Ah -
meek Chapter raised a
question. Recently it had been
decreed that members 70 years
of age or more, who have a
minimum of five years service
with a 'Chapter which has
disbanded, are now eligible to
pay a small continuing mem-
bership fee, and remain mem-
ber's of the Order.
The question was, Why can't
some things be doe for mem-
bers of long stand'g, who are
no longer able to work for the
Order, but who would enjoy the
social side of the meetings,
without pressure. As the
position is now, these members
feel that if they can't con-
tribute, they should resign .
When the President asked
the delegate if she wished to
make a motion on this, she
replied in the

Richard Sniderman has himself a good
little business in Hamilton.
A dollar car wash on downtown Main Street West.
Richard and his father talked about a car wash
for a long time. They studied location, investigated eipment.
And then about 3 years ago, he took the leap.
But to make any money at just a dollar a caryou have to
wash a lot of cars. And you have to keep a sharp eye on expenses.
So Richard Sniderman has natural gas for hot water.
And for the overhead heaters too.
Because he knows natural gas is economical, dependable
and the hot water won't run out.
The Snidermans have natural gas at home too.
For heat. For cooking, And because his kids think
it's great for making popcorn.
Natural Gas...it makes good dollars and sense.
