Women's Institute as served ,t e
. eds of rural women for 90 years
'Without vision the people perish." Certainly the idea put forth in
1897 had vision, it was also practical, forthright and a brave ven-
ture. Those who caught the vision could not have known how far
reaching the organization to be known as the Women's Institute,
could be in the influence toward better homemaking and good
citizenship. • .
On Feb. 19, 1897, the first formal organization of a Women's In-
stitute took place in Saltfleet Township, Wentworth County,
through the combined effort of Erland Lee and his wife Janet with
the encouragement orAdelaide Hoodless. The branch was original-
ly known as the Stoney Creek Women's Institute. From there the
organization spread throughout. the world. The Women's Institute
own the Erland Lee Museum Home which is open to the public.
The Women's Institute organization provide rural women with ,
the opportunity to broaden the scope of their knowledge and
abilities through participation in meetings organized by the local
branch. Women's Institutes in Ontario; for many years, have
helped women improve their homes and communities. Working for
the good of all, regardless of creed, race or political beliefs they
have flourished in almost every 'community in- Ontario.
Special educational sessions are organized at District, Area, and
Provincial levels to encourage women to expand their outlook and
learn to extend their influence as a motivating force in todays
world. Such an example is the upcoming Community Outreach
Seminar to be held on Feb. 28 at Southwold School. Women's In-
stitute members are encouraged to take a public stand on the
broader issues of the day through resolutions and briefs.
The Wornen's Institute provides a vehicle and an environment to
challenge women who seek self improvement and personal enrich-
ment. They belong to . a network that connects Branches to
Districts, for Areas to Provincial, ,National and International
organizations.
Within the London Area there are. 114 branches in 10 Districts,
who are active in many Ways; leading' and' financing 4H clubs,
holding adult leadership courses through OMAF, having iip to date

speakers at their meetings, looking after the needs of then. com-
munity, through donations of money, time and enthusiasm, Oxford
County has'iniiiated the Butler project to provide all schools in On-
tario and hopefully Canada with a series of pictures of farm
animals, the Tweedsmuir Histories provide an up to date and ac-
curate history of the conununity lot by lot, a valuable source of in-
formation, The Elgin Pioneer Museum and the Southwold Ear-
thworks are there because Women's Institutes has a vision, the
scholarship project provides much needed funds to students to
compete post -secondary education. The list is much longer.
A criticism levelled at the Women's Institute is that it is not
meeting the needs of the younger member. One fact is correct in
that those who join remain for many years because they believe in
the vision. However, each branch makes up its own program to'suit
the needs of their own community. There are many young women
joining-Wornen's Institute because they see what Wornen's Institute
has accomplished in the past and what it will accomplish in the
future. Maybe the younger members are not in all the executive of-
fices at all levels but they are there. As young parents they will in
time take a more active role. After all the motto of Women's In-
stitute is "'For Home and Country". The training and skills learnt
at Women's Institutes meetings are applicable to any women at
any walk of life.
The Women's Institute is active as they work to assist a network
of,all the rural Women's Organizations in Ontario. Their magazine,
Home and Country, is available to any woman and is used to pro-
mote all rural organizations not just Women's Institutes. When the
first Farm Women Network Newsletter was printed it was•
distributed through all Women's Institute branches with copies of
Home and Country.,
When the Wdmen's Institute 'had their Free Trade Seminar, all
rural organizations were invited.

never gets used and on past the sink that
never gets filled and you make your way
on an Italian New Year's Day, back to
the door you first came through.
The baby is passed around the table

that as more arrive you're out the door.
