Mrs. Alton gave a most hearty welcome to all the ladies present stating that Hospi- tality fosters a spirit of friendliness and good -will. Mrs. Thompson in a few well-chosen words replied to the address of welcome, She said that Mayor Stewart of Toronto, welcom- ing the Women's Institutes of Central Ontario to Toronto had said that Wo- men's organizations are doing more good to -day than ever before and they have accomplished more in the last five years than men's organizations will do in five hundred years. The afternoon session opened at 1.- 30 with community singing. Mrs. Bissett in her address said another year had rolled by since the members met as a District and had brought with it the changes that are bound to come. She congratulated the branches on the way they are car- rying on their work in spite of diffi- cult times. She said if we always stay at home we become self-centred and narrow, but if we mingle with others in a friendly spirit we become unself- ish. A great many like the Institute because it includes all religious de- nominations, political creeds and , classes and why shouldn't we all, work together and ]earn to know and like other people. It is only in this way; we can have that sympathy and und- erstanding for others that makes for good -fellowship and friendship not on- ly in our immediate neighborhood but it also leads to peace and harmony between nations that we would all like to see fully realized. Mrs. R. Davidson, Federation Re- presentative, gave her report. She outlined the convention at Kincardine thoroughly. Mrs. Thompson then fav- ored yitlt a reading and Mrs. Webb of St, Helens, rendered a solo, Mrs. McDowell, Federation Repre- sentative spoke for a fev tl/jnu.tes.

Institutes are educational more than for money- making purposes, She urged greater co-operation with school boards and spoke of the wonderful work being done for the crippled children of the province, The senior institutes should assist the junior institutes wherever possible and encourage them. Stand- ing committees' reports were then giv- en'. These were much better than, they have ever been and showed the itttetest each branch is taking in the work. In conclusion she urged. all to give of their best and the best would come back to them. Two Junior In- stitute members then gave a demon- stration in flower arrangement for the dining -room table. This was very in- teresting and instructive. We were then favored with a chorus from the Dungannon ladies, for which they re- ceived hearty applause. Mr. Putman, superintendent of Women's Institutes for the Province, in his usual pleasing manner paid a great tribute to the Instiutes of the Province with whose possibilities he was greatly impressed, He said you are identified with an organization which has done more for country wo- men than any other organization. Ontario is pointed to as in example all over the world regarding Institute work. The Institute sets the standard for the community, Thos. L. Kennedy has said "After much travelling I've come to the conclusion that in rural Ontario we have a citizenship of wo- men and mothers better than that of any other 'country." Institute work is much needed at the present time. He also congratulated West Huron for the splendid gathering, it was the lar- gest he had attended this year, He I also conducted a question drawer which explained many questions that for a long time had been in doubt, The Resolution convenor, Mrs, Wil- liamson, then presented the following resolutions: "Whereas the women of Ontario do not seem to realize the privilege of the franchise, be it resolved that we strongly urge every woman to take advantage of that franchise in sup- port of the temperance cause in the coming election," s ! ate "Whereas the Secretary of each branch is supposed to report all ac- tivities of the branch, be it resolved that we dispense with the reports from the convenors of standing committees that each branch appoint a convenor for each activity and report direct to the District Secretary." "Whereas, the tendency among our young people t• day tends towards Communism, be it resolved that we, as Institute members, urge that Pat- riotism be more stressed in our schools." "Be it resolved that we extend a hearty vote of appreciation to the Dungannon Branches for their enter- tainment today. Special mention be- ing made o fthe courteous manner of the young girls in their service, also to all those who have contributed to make this meeting a success." The singing of the National An- them brought a most successful meet- ing to a close. An invitation was ex- tended from Clinton to meet there next year.
