She also has three great grandchildren, Jim and Don Perry and Daryl! Beaumier. When asked what contributed to Mrs. Deaton's longevity, she simply replied, "Live a nice life." Royal Canadian Legion BRANCH 140 - CLINTON ANNUAL POPPY DRIVE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2 Starting at 7 P.M. Canvassing Clinton and Vanastra Areas This is the Legion's only appeal to the public for funds & these monies are used for the care of veterans and their dependents. This money is held in a separate account for this purpose. Branch 140 would like to thank the people of Clinton and area for their generous donations on this night PLEASE WEAR A POPPY THIS YEAR WI - 90 years and going strong E'or• 90 years the Women's institute (WI) have provided rural women with an oppor- tunity to broaden the scope of their knowledge and abilities through the 114 branches in the London Area. They are a motivating force within their communities. This concern not only for themselves but for the whole rural community has led to dona- tions in excess of $100,000 to various projects and organizations that need financial assistance in the past year. The work of the WI member does not stop there, they spend hours as leaders in 4H clubs, adult workshop leaders, helping at senior citizen homes, assisting in museums, helping at local fairs, working on the agriculture in the schools program, or wherever needed for the betterment of their own community, and indeed their province. A small example of this is the Dr. Monteith Medical Centre in Shedden, which started when the Shedden WI approached their local council about the need of such a facility. Contrary to what some people say, the WI in the London Area is continuing to attract new members from the rural community. This, despite the fact the rural population is declining. The younger members are not always able to participate in all the com- munity activities as they would like. This means that a greater load in doing the com- munity work falls to the older members. However the young members are par- ticipating in the meetings where their per- sonal growth is served by up-to-date speakers on a variety of timely and in- teresting topics. A small sample of some of the programs in the past year have been: Financial crisis in farming, Raising and coming Rainbow trout, The crisis over water on which our means of existence depends, "Syncrude" The Canadian Tar Sanas, Solar Fabrication, Nutrition, PRICE, Work of the Citizenship Court, Famiy Law Reform Act, Children's Hospital of Western Ontario and Prince Ed- ward bland. Each branch plans a varied program to suit the needs and interests of their rnembets. Many ;rom the London Area took part in the Free ['rade Seminar organized by FWIO where theeffects of Free Trade on the Rural Communi'y was discussed. The Elgin Coun- ty W1 had a successful Community Outreach Seminar with a variety of workshops. There will be another one in 1988. The WI in the London area are working hard on the Butler Project. When this is finished every school in Ontario will have a copy of the. Ross Butler Farm Animal prints, plus copies • of all the animals associated wth farming. This program comes with information that can work agriculture into all facets of the school curriculum. This committee of WI members had a suc- cessful display d Ross Butler's paintings at the London Art Gallery, combined with a The Catholic Women's League of St. Joseph's Church held their bazaar on Octooer 17. As well as the kid's corner, penny sale and baked goods that were for sale, there were also crafts. Here Nellie Wammes (left), shows some"chairs to Bev VanNinhuy;.

Scholarships The Women's Institute organization not only provides rural women with an oppor- tunity to broaden the scope of their knowledge and abilities but they also pro- vide an opportunity to rural youth to do the sante. One way is by the use of scholarships. Each year the London Area Women's In- stitutes provide three scholarships in honor of the late Maryn Pardy, a member of the Mt. Brydges Women's Institute, who rose to prominence in Ontario as editor of Home and Country and organizer in Newfoundland of the Women's Institute. As well she was an author. The three recipients for the 1987 Maryn Pardy scholarship are: Catherine Sutherland - Middlesex County, Susan Moodie - Oxford County and Heather Gillett also of Oxford County. well as employee satisfaction realize that health promotion can be one of the tools that helps them achieve both.
