Immediate action on issues of
concern to all rural women was the
message which came from the
spring board meeting of the Feder-
ated Women's Institutes of Ontario.
One of these issues is the proposed
cuts in VIA Rail services. A letter is
to be sent to Prime Minister Mul-
roney, stating that the Women's
Institutes in Ontario are against any
cuts. As well, individual members
are to be encouraged to write
protest letters.
Although FWIO has passed reso-
lutions in the past about the closing
of rural post offices, at the urging of
the British Columbia Women's
Institutes all WI members in
Ontario are being asked again to
write to their Members of Parlia-
ment, stating that the way of rural
life is being threatened by the clos-
ing of rural post offices.
Rural Child Care is an issue of
concern for all rural families. The
Bethesda Reach branch ran a very
successful Rural Day Care project
last year. This year they are having
trouble obtaining the necessary
fun0s, so they asked 'FWIO to lend
its support to obtain the necessary
funds. FWIO in 1984 initiated the
pilot projects for the Rural Day
Care Program. It has also issued a
policy statement supporting the
availability of rural child care.
The board members were
informed that the survey, "Child
Care Needs in Rural Canada", a
project of Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Canada, has passed the pre-
liminary test survey, that funding is
in place and WI branches across
Canada will be asked to assist in
conducting this survey.

Martin of London, formerly of

'Cedcke. '
A short program opened with a
contest, followed by two readings.
Lori Miller, Britteny Walker, niece
of the bride, and Samantha Camp-
bell assisted the bride in opening
her many lovely gifts.
Brenda, modeling her Mt of rib-
bons and bows, thanked everyone
and lunch of coffee and cake was
served.
Sign of spring,
tennis planned
FORDWICH—Tennis gets under-
way at the Fordwich and Commu-
nity Parks court on May 23, with a
series of six weekly lessons. These
will be taught by Paul Tarc, tennis
pro at the Milton Tennis Club. Paul
is a native of Palmerston and holds
an Ontario Tennis Association
Level 11 Certificate. He taught at
Fordwich in 1986 and 1987.
Lessons will be held Mondays,
except for the first one which will
be Tuesday because cif the holiday.
Ladies' weekly round-robin play
begins Wednesday, May 24, and the
men's round-robin starts June 1 for
seven weeks. A mixed doubles'
tournament and barbecue is sched-
uled for Sunday, May 28. On June
17 and 24, a junior improvement
program will be conducted.

Fordwich, can 3354476.
Nicaragua, though the project is
still in theldiscussion stage. As well;
Mrs. Munro will lead workshops
and tell of her experiences at the
Women and Development confer-
ence April 21 and 22 at Ridgetown
College of Agricultural Technology.
Innovative new projects have led
the FWIO to work with the Nation-
al Council of Jewish Women of
Canada to present a pmgram enti-
tled "Surgery — A Necessity or
Your Choice". After taking the five
sessions, women will be better
informed and more confident when
making personal health care deci-
sions.
Further evidence of the influence
of WI members was demonstrated
when the board was shown the pro-
gram for the 25th anniversary of
the signing of the Brock Act. The
idea for the Brock University was
that of the mother of Mrs. Jean
Egerter of the Allanburg WL In
1957, she spearheaded the first res-
olution to the Allanburg WI, asking
for a university in the area, and did
the initial surveys. Although initial-
ly turned down, the women perse-
vered and now their children and
grandchildren have access to high
education as a result of their effarti
Continuing the emphasis on fur-
ther education for rural children;
the WI county scholarships were
ratified. Individual county winners
will be announced at local presenta-
tion ceremonies.,
The centennial committee
announced some plans to celebrate
100 years of Women's Institutes in
Ontario. Among the ideas are a
commemorative stamp, a new rose
named Laura Rose, special muse-
um displays showing the work of
WI over the past 100 years and a
special program shared by the more
than 1,000 WI branches in Ontario
on Feb. 19, 1997.
The Women's Institutes are well
on the way to their goal of 100 new
programs .on waste management
and recycling by 1990. WI members
have been speaking to meetings,
presenting briefs to township coun-
cils and preparing displays.
Although their theme of waste
management and recycling will
now draw to a close, it will not be
forgotten, as aspects of it will be
included in the 1989-90 theme of
"Women and the Environment".
