Members circulated and signed a 'People to People petition on Canadian Unity' which will be presented to Quebec residents and which urges them to remain in Confederation. All of this is the tip of an ice -berg, and all of it within one year! Of major importance, was a trip, financed by the Newfoundland gOVe-iiiinenr,.-- made by two national officers. They visited remote settlements along the east coast of Labrador to determine spebific needs there and set up contacts. They found the need to be so great in.theSe White, Inuit, and Indian com- munities that it was difficult to believe one was still in .Canada. Library shelves exist in schools, but they're empty; community halls, (01.rnost a necessity of life in these areas) where they can be found, are empty shells, needing in one instance a furnace and chimney to begin with. The people of Labrador simply do not • have the resources to supply these things, nor does the provincial government. A start has been made by IODE. A provincial chapter will pay for a road to be built con- necting waters edge to village. wer which equipment for drilling water wells can be hauled. At present all water must be toted in pails. The National Chapter has sent an in- cubator, food, clothing, a loan • for lumber to complete building on a community hall when funds were held up. Future plans call for the support of members across Canada to supply books, clothing, food, equipment for com- munity ha s stations, bursaries for training in trades for young adults, salaries for trained local women to instruct their neighbours in nutrition, budgeting, child care. Government cutbacks funds allotted - to education •and social services leave huge gaps which can only be filled --through volunteer efforts. Any Canadian woman who wishes to make her contribution through affiliation with IODE encouraged to contact a local or :provincial chapter. In Goderich, there are two chapters, Maple Leaf Chapter with H. Murphy as Regent and Ahmeek Chapter with Mrs. Max Cutt as Regent. IODE 'members are proud of their last year's work and very proud to be part of an organization that has been a vital part of Canadian life for 80 years.
