Stevenson, hate more " opportunities 1 carry out the proposition, which has o' be happy than those who have ito drudge. Those Who are hard up seem to.have been pursued by bad nick, and of the reasons given' for his uiihappy condition were present' world conditions, bad judgment or had management of ,,affairs, extrava- gance's and perhaps being gullible when approached by agents. 'This failing, the speaker in an apologetic tone ventured is more prevalent among rural people than city people. "Though many of us may not have all the money we would want,"con- tinued @he speaker, all of us have a number of real things which give us joy in the higher motives. We all can be rich 'iii our friendsti•ps, wh'ic'h should be cultivated. Also there is a wealth of happiness in the beautiful out-ofkdoors. A world of interest is to be found in the 'birds round about us every day, Prof, Stevenson here named the various species of birds which he had seen and heard as he rambled through a nearby woods as he awaited his time to address the meeting. Shrubbery add trees are other:beauties of nature which should afford much to our pleasure. (Referring, to the world of books, the speaker urged. all to cultivate a taste fbr good reading and to interest the young .people in this worthwhile pastime. "Books• of a decent sort are a refuge from nearly every disaster that can overtake me," was a quota- tion read from a letter received by Prof. Stevenson from a former stu- dent, • 'In concluding, the speaker read a number of poems which should in- spire to higher ideals. Mrs. A. Kerr, of •Ensbro, member� of the Ontario Federated Board of !Women's Institutes, was also present and in a very helpful address explain- ed that the Federated Women's In- stitutes means the uniting of all branches so that by co-operation the principle of the motto, "For Home and Country," may be developed. The speaker told that at the present time there are 1385 branches in the Fed- eration with a membership of 45,000 women and these by united effort have a greater influence than by the branches working individually. Mrs. Kerr also spoke briefly at :the International Peace Garden, a last- ing memorial to the one hundred years of peace which have existed be- tween Canada and, the :United States, and which it is the intention to place along the frontier between the two countries half in one country and half in the other. This garden, explained Mrs, Kerr, will be a fitting symbol of peace and will be an example to the other countries of the world that there are better methods than war to effect peace. The speaker pointed out that men of many nations not only in the world war but in the wars throughout the centuries, have died believing their sacrifice would bring peace to the world. The Peace Garden movement was started at a convention of interna- tional gardeners held in Toronto in 1929 when a committee of fifty in- fluential men acid women, twenty-five from eaEh country, was appointed to aadce and the meeting was an enthus- iastic one.

"We do not believe that our rural women should be deprived of the help that electricity gives in our homes. Therefore, we, the members of the Women's Institute in South Perth ask that a reasonable reduction be made in the service rate to rural con- sumers. To the Bell Telephone Company:' "Whereas we accepted without com- plaint the increase in Bell Telephone rates that occurred during the years when we received better prices for farm produce. Now in our period of great depression when living expense in the city has lessened so much, we believe that rural telephone rates should be reduced. The income on all our farms has been so seriously reduced_ that our expenses must be cut down. We, the members of the South Perth Women's Institute ask for your prompt consideration of this matter asnanny farmers are facing the necessity of having their phones removed:' Names of those in attendance: ,Iesdatnes 1W, Murray, +G, ':H.
