The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-04-27, Page 31lflparticular It was rather appropriate that during Education Week last week, three Kingsbridge Separate School teachers received certificates from the Federal Government for their outstanding contribution to education and the community. This Canadian Merit Award can be given out in other fields besides education. These three teachers' names were submitted for the award last fall by Principal Dave Zyluk.

Garden Club applies for government grant The Goderich Garden Club held a pot luck supper meeting, April 19, in the library of Robertson Memorial Public School. President, Mrs. Janet Kalbfleisch, presided over the business part of the meeting. A film "Tara's Mulch Garden" was shown and proved very interesting. The club members learned that with 6 inches of hay as a mulch, an abundant crop of vegetables could be har- vested with very little digging and weeding. All that was needed was watering and transplanting the different types of vegetables as they became too thick. This is truly an example of organic gardening. The Garden Club has ap- plied for a grant of money from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation which will provide assistance for the summer employment of youth. It has been received and if accepted, two students will be hired to work with the town's Parks Department on such projects as the building of steps and landscaping at the north end of Waterloo Street, and the Lakeview Park. Money was also approved by the club to be spent on civic improvement such as Jubilee 3 Park, a new park at the end of Gloucester Terrace and Cambria Road North and 13therparks around town. The staff of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton have been very co-operative in supplying the Goderich Garden' Club with interesting speakers and films, and with an excellent guide when. club members visited the Botanical Gardens last year on a bus trip. In appreciation, the Goderich club is sending a cheque as a donation toward their new building project. The Ontario Horticultural Association Convention is to be held in June in'Kingston. It was voted that no delegation FWIO sustains resolutions at semi-annual meeting BY MRS. JOHN BROWN, P.R. OFFICER It ,was with deep concern and much research that resolutions were sustained at the semi-annual meeting of the Federated Women's Institute of Toronto this week. Not only are decisions being made for the 30,000 W.I. members in Ontario, but for all citizens that may be af- fected by the action. These resolutions are sent in from all over the province and require much deliberation. The Directors were strong in their vote regarding the gifts of money paid by Canada Council, to writers of obscene literature and will urge that the Canada Council be directed to give their grants to mor, worthy projects. ' The members approved, in principle, many resolutions and urged the membership to take individual action. Resolutions were sustained regarding land fill sites, possible Canada pension payments by homemakers, and the request that the food colorant Amaranth (red dye No. 2) be banned. The members wish to commend, the many Government Ministries for their continued efforts on behalf of the people regarding improved health standards, consumer concerns, the penal reform laws, and the rehabilitation programs being implemented. With education dieing an important pant of,the W'omen's Institute ork, scholarships continue'' to be awarded' Through the Home Economics Branch of the Minis,trly of Agriculture and Food,' over 5,500 4-11 girls Were instructed in homemaking skills, and over 34,000 women took part in the senior.. training program in the past year. Miss Molly McGhee, the Director' of Horne Economics, said that in this day there, is a growing need for education in the preservation and safety of foods, food processing and food additives, and her staff is preparing courses that will be available for all women. Mrs. Clarence Diamond, as Provincial President, en- couraged the women to "Strengthen the Family Unit," and indeed the Women's Institute does just that with its extensive educational programs. An important phase of this work is the Officers Conference to be held at the Waterloo University frofrl May 2 to 4, when delegates from all over the province will come together to learn by listening, being involved in discussions, and participation. The decision was made that the donations that,are sent in for UNESCO will be for- warded to Zambia to provide fresh piped water. The F.W.I.O. also shows its concern for others with $1,500 being sent' to the women's Anstett Jewellers LIMITED 11 ALBERT ST., CLINTON 482-3901.

The F.W.I.O. is pleased to be asked to have representation in the Ontario Hall of Fame Association, which was formed in order to 'establish and maintain a gallery for recognition of persons who have made a contribution to the field of agriculture. It was refreshing and in- spiring to hear the report from the Junior Women's Institute. Mrs. James Thompson told of the for- mation of three new branches since the first of the year. They are studying new ideas to improve, their programs and meet the needs of today. As the meeting closes, the members -will go home in- spired with the challenges that face them for "Home and Country."
