BARN DANCE HELD AT,BELGRAVE—The Belgrave Co-op Association hosted a barn dance last
Friday evening to mark its 75th anniversary. The youngsters enjoyed the evening's festivities, which
included dancing, refreshments and anniversary souvenirs.
omen's Institutes interested
in environment. leadership
has been revamping its scholarship
program. This year regional schol-
arships will be worth $275 each and
the county and area scholarships
$250 each. It is hoped more rural
youth make use of these scholar-
ships, as they are not just for girls.
Plans for the centennial celebra-
tion of FWIO are on-going, with a
special centennial celebration fund
Agricultural issues and leader-
ship training were the main topics
at the recent board meeting of Fed-
erated Women's Institutes of
Ontario (FWIO) held at Guelph.
A visit by Rita Burak, deputy
minister of Agriculture and Food,
gave her a chance to listen to the
concerns of the Women's Institutes,
as well as to find out more about
the general Organization of the
Women's Institute. Some of these
concerns included the environment
and rural child care.
The report given by Joan Law,
FWIO resolutions committee
chairman, on the Canadian Crop
Drought Assistance Program
stressed the importance that the
igeprance program is the best
hci# to help farmers rather than
a; hoe prograina-such as ,drouglif
relief. Ms. Law, representing FWIO,
was the only women representa-
tive, when the Ontario commodity
groups and OMAF staff met recent-
ly in Guelph to explain the Drought
Relief Program.
The implication for Canada and
Ontario's Agricultural system in
the Uruguay Round of the GAIT
negotiations was reported on by
Hilde Morden, FWIO program co-
ordinator, who attended a confer-
ence at University of Guelph to
discuss the issues.
WOMEN'S VIEW
As a\r-esult of Janet Parsons, WI
member from Cache Bay and Cana-
dian Farmer 01 the Year, and Char-
lotte Johnson, past president FWIO,
attending the Hands Across the
Border Conference of Ontario and
New York Women at Sennaca Falls,
New York, the FWIO has decided
to establish an Agricultural Adviso-
ry Committee to look at agricultur-
al issues from a Women's Institute
point of view.
Leadership training has always
been Part of the Women's Institute
program and this meeting was no
exception. There is a workshop
scheduled for January, 1990 titled,
"Forms, Facts and Figures," with
the purpose of developing adminis-
trative skills for farm women's
organizatioes.
This is Phase 2 of a plan by
FWIO. This year they trained peo-
ple in the skills of putting on work-
shops. After Phase 2, these two
groups of people will get together
and put on smaller workshops
throughout Ontario.
An Associated Country Women
of the World (ACWW) mini -confer-
ence is to be held at Carleton Uni-
versity, Ottawa, in June, 1990. This
Conference is to educate WI mem-
bers and ACWW members about
the aims, goals and work of
ACWW.
The theme of the conference will
be "Women and the Environment
— the. Challenge is Now.," There
will be workshops on such topics as
the illtertlafidital market place, fad

established. Already in place are
plans for a centennial stamp, a spe-
cial rose, centennial logo and com-
memorative plate.
There will be more plans an-
nounced later. It is from the estab-
lishment of one WI branch in
Stoney Creek in 1897 that Women's
Institutes have spread throughout
the world.
Missionary support
is urged by minister
BELG1RAVE—Rev. Peter D. Tuck-
er, m his Sunday morning sermon
at Knox United Chinch on Sept. 3,
referred tothe Third World's needy
who will perish iiithout missionary
contributions. "We must become
involved," he said. He gave an
illustration about several picnickers
enjoying lunch on the steep slope of
a mountainside. A blind man was
groping his way down a narrow
path which led to the edge of a
precipice. He stumbled, became
confused in directions, wandered to
the cliff's edge, hesitated, then
stepped forward and plummeted to
his death. Not one of the group had
assisted or become involved in the
victim's need.
In closing, the minister stressed
that if missionary donations are
withheld, many needy will die.
"Get involved," he said, "Jesus
did!".
Mrs. Nornlan Cook and Mrs.
Kenneth Proctef Weicbriied 'Mem-
bers and seriph& readitits were
from Deuteronomy and I John. The
children's story was entitled "Life
or Death", about a man who saw a
large hornet fly into his room.
Rather than crush it to death by a
blow from his fly swatter, he decid-
ed to let the wasp crawl onto the
swatter and free it outdoors. How-
ever the wasp, which could have
been helped to freedom and life,
flew away and vanished, doomed
to die of starvation. It chose death
rather than life. Likewise, many
people often reject God's salvation
and perish. 'The decision is
yours," he said, "Choose well!".
Offertory stewards were Glen
Hunter, Kenneth Procter, Ross Hig-
gins and Donald G. Procter.
LS—Mr. and Mrs, James Beattie of Wing-
afttiOunce the forthcoming marriage of their
400634 Cheryl Anne, to Blaine Clarence Pryce, son of Mr. and
Mn. ka/Old Piyce of Wlnthrop. The wedding will take place at St.
Paul's Anglican ChurchjWiiighait.. on Sept. 23 at 6 p.m., with Rev.
