Women's Institutes. offer
many benefits for women
More than 900 women have par-
ticipated in the Farm and Home
Landscaping courses run by
Wellington and Halton County
Women's Institutes. For many years
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food has provided. adult cours-
es on a variety of subjects. With its
restructuring, these courses are -no
longer available through OMAF, so
the Women's Institutes in Welling-
ton and Halton hired a consultant,
wrote the course and conducted the
cdurse; all without government
assistance. This puts into practise
some of the WI objectives, namely
promoting good family skills, iden-
tifying and resolving needs in the
community and promoting leader-
ship. The WIs in Grey and Bruce
Counties are developing a similar
course on "Cooking for One".
Margaret Munro, president of
Federated Women's Institutes of
Ontario, is currently on a farm
women's study tour of Nicaragua.
When she returns she will partici-
pate in the Women and Develop-
ment conference (parallel issues
and solutions for rural women in
Ontario and the Third World), to be
kflik ,.4g94.13')71, Sllege April 21
and 22.
Although not a money -raising
organization as such, last year
Women's Institutes donated over
$800,000. One of the ways they
raise money is shown by West
Oxford WI's 21st annual maple
syrup festival to be held April 1
and 2 at the Jakeman family farm,
Sweaburg. This festival was started
in 1967 as a centennial project and
has been going ever since. Visitors
to the festival will not only sample
maple syrup and have a conducted
tour of the maple syrup operation,
but also have a chance to purchase
local crafts.
Last year, nearly 1,000 women
joined Women's Institutes, the
largest rural women's organization
in Ontario. They join a network in
Ontario of more than 1,000 branch-
es and a network which spreads
throughout all the provinces in
Canada. As well, they belong to the
international network of farm and
rural women called Associated
Country Women of the World
Dr. Ellen McLean .is serving her
second terra as president of
ACWW ThatPgroup� will hold is .
19th triennial conference in Kansas
City from Sept. 22 to Oct. 1, with
the theme, "Partners in Progress".
Many WI members plan to attend,
)ffering an opportunity to have
contact with farm and rural women
throughout "the world.
