Ontario WI opposes TV violence, obscenity Increased showing of vio- lence and obscenity on TV and availability of porno- graphic video cassettes prompted the provincial board of the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario to pass an emergency resolution opposing it. The alarming exploitation of women and children and cor- ruption to young viewers is contrary to the moral prin- ciples and ideals of this or- ganization. The 34 board directors representing the 27,000 members in the pro- vince held its semi-annual meeting in Toronto recently with the president, Janet Hiepleh, presiding. Joyce Canning, co-ordina- tor for rural organizations and service branch of On- tario Ministry off Agriculture and Food, expanded on sug- gested topics for programs under "Women -Unlimited Potential" which the branch members are asked to study this year, thus becoming bet- ter informed and better equipped to meet today's concerns. Excitement was evident as delegates were briefed on the world conference to be held in Vancouver in June. Canada is proud to host this special event when over 1,700 delegates from around the world will represent the 97.5 million members. Excellent speakers and programs will carry out the theme "Living in Today's World". At this time the world president will be elected with Dr. Ellen PA10100.
