'the Art of Parliament respecting Arl• eutlural Societies provided for the organizing of Woman's Iny'itnres as well as Farmer's Iotstitutes malt- ing Woman's Institutes a branch of the Department of Agriculture, with its own sulperintendent, at the pres- ent time, Miss Mary Clark Five . years after the Woman's Institute was organized, the District of ]Oast Baron was formed, and a branch was started at Bluevale in 1903. Thirty-six years ago, The records from 1903 to 1912 are not available. Daring those years the Society dl's- ; banded for a short time, but the lose was felt and it was soon re- , organized. Meetings were held in' the homes and were —carried on much as they are now. Conven- tionis were held annually at Guelph and were much enjoyed as the Model Farms added Pleasure' and In- spleation to the gathering. In 1912 when our records start, the foiobwing officers were elected: President, Mrsi P. D. Kirg: vice- president, Mrs, J. I, Johnston; sec- retary -treasurer;' Miss Susie Collie; directors, Mrs; (Rev.) W. J, West, Mrs. Edward Johnston. The mem- bership was 22.

In May, 1013, the (;cunei) was petitioned *4 have "Speed Limit' 'and "Danger"' notic- es erected entering thevillage. I These were secured from the On- tario Motor League.

George MacDonald, as pathmaster. came to the rescue and succeeders in laying the walk front the top of the hill across the boundary road and the Institutes completed it as far as the blacksmith shop. ,Com• mundty work has always been tbe main activity of the branch. Five gasoline street lamps were purchas- ed at a cost of $16,00 each, install- ed and kept equipped for several years. A piano and Ashes were � Purchased for use, in'.the commun- ity.

In preparing thr,is historical sketch it would be difvcult to men- tion the names of all the loyal and faithful m•emhere+ but one is • re- minded that the motto, "For Home and Country," was the aim of their lives. Many of the charter members were pioneer women who came into this country wben it was bush, and played, an important part in catahllsbire hotness churches, and schools, the three essentials of a country in which to live. Moat of these women have been called to their last ltonie and if we, the present members, wish to follow in their footsteps, aboulder the cares and resmon'sibilities, that they have laid down and follow the high standards set for us an insti- tute members, we moat al•,•sys keep in mind' our motto "For Home' and Country."

The Real Remedy Then beyond that there is the great problem of so ordering our economy that we may no longer be faced with. the problem of unem- ployment and all its concomitant destrutation to life and ltepe . Is that possible? The answer is "yes, it can be done.' It carrot be done by governments —they may help but they cannot do. it alone, 11 is a :problem of in- dustry but industry tries to run the government instead of facing IIs owil tasks. Progress in: the solution, 00 un- em✓nlornent will conte when inn Mistrial leaders who control the great industries of the nation recognize that ,only by a thorough reorganization of their own buai- nooses can national can4ldence be restored, In this task labour must aid capital or the worker will con- tinnte, as be dose now, to walk tate. sireeta in idleness, industry lags trinntol, n in Ills fields of ',induction, We have the capacity to produce. industry anti labour have succeeded in (blocking the dhannels of uicehange so that 1110 purchasing poweo of the pro- ducer is restricted --tire basis of industrial expansion, is lora, Man, with his machines has tri• wreathed only to find that, by reason of his own selfishness, , victory is ashes in his hands. All the techn.icak andsneebian+ical advance of the ages should have reduced the cost .of - 'production, lowered the selling price od goods, increased the purchasing power of the people, Why is more machinery employed in factories. Because the. 'appli- cation, of imaroved michlnery, though it throws seen out of work, lowers, the cost .of production, But the .maivufaoturer does not lower the veiling price of his .products, If he did there would be no de. crease of employment, Sometimes he cannot. Labour in. control may take dor itself the eon saVing broupht abort by mechanical change, thus throwing into discard, workers who have lost their jobs. In plain straight language, the prob- lem of unemployment is up to 10- dustry and labour, They have created it—they aloe can cure 1t, 1,1 `,, sed 1 soy it quite frankly, beyond the ,power of government. Oh. tor a combination of the wealth of a McCullagh and a Wright and the penetrating power of mind necessary to *vivo halite these facts. Manarrfaotiu•ed products today are wholly oust of line with the prices- of ricesof basic products, This e011dltioll is driving people off the laird—it Is foreleg fanners. 0m relief, It i`e- dhrct4ons in coats, which are the natural fruit, of improved methods, had been passed om to tits Dorn gunner in a lower selling price of prodart+ts instead of in, higher wages arid Increased' profits; there would .1.10 been no unemployment, no problem of goverrmrent finance, no welling tide of deibt. Great leaders In some . fields of indiiatry have realized these facts. Some of them toady are attempting, to their eternal honour, to carry it out. The yare the real leaders seeking new and ever expanding frontiers of effort. There are others who concentrate -their lives on attacks upon governments, fatting to realize that they are themselves responsible for tbe situation, they condemn, The remedy ides wit lttwdiistry and laobur, The men who have treated the problem al'e best able to pro- vide the cure. If only the leaders of industry anal labour could realize these facts we might indeed achieve what We desire, we would not 'be on the road to reacrery recovery would be ars accomlplished feet, Will in- dnsrtry speak Will it act Has it the driving ,power? 1f so, the nations marches forward—nothing can stop it—nothing except war.
