Time was whoa me Woman's
Institute was thought to be an
organization intended mainly
AV the benefit of rural women
who were anxious to get to-
gether, primarily for the pur-
pose of exchanging recipes,
plant slips, knitting patterns,
quilt blocks and for organizing
quilting bees. That may be true
— and still is, for that matter
— but to all such domestic pro-
grammes there is now a mighty
big "plus"! Yes, country women
still exchange recipes and tnany
of them love a quilting party
but they are also interested in
social studies, literature, inter-
national affairs, history and
art, in all of which they are
participating more and more.
No one can doubt it after the
excellent exhibit of original
paintings that were on display
following a competition that
was sponsored by the Salada
Tea Company and for which
prizes were offered on a pro-
vincial level. Entries reached
the provincial -competition by a
process of elimination. The best
pictures were chosen, first from
the branch, then from the Dis-
trict, and finally from the Con-
vention Area, each painting fea-
turing a Canadian landscape.
The competition may not have
brought to light any outstand-
ing genius but at least it will
have done much to satisfy and
encourage the artistic and crea-
tive urge in many women —

IN A MESS—Mike Dougherty, 2, is all tangled up with his goats,
en route to the Fair at Pomona. Mike hopes to straighten a

mant for years. How many wo-
men, when looking at a beau-
tiful sunset, or a particularly
attractive garden, have said
with a longing sigh — "Oh, if
only I could paint, what a pic-
ture that would make." In years
gone by a few of them ever
made the • attempt. But of re-
cent years night schools in
many country districts included
classes in art. The result was
amazing. Women who apparent-
ly had been interested only In
culinary arts came out of the
kitchen and went to work with
paint and palette. At one night
school where classes had been
held for three years two en-
tire classrooms were given over
to paintings — one for elemen-
tary students and the other for
second -year advanced classes.
And most of the sudents were
from rural areas.
One time there was a young
lad who was asked if he could
play the violin. He replied —
"I don't know yet — I haven't
tried!" The same answer would
be equally commendable com-
ing from a person if she were
asked if she could paint a pic-
ture, Naturally, only a person
with outstanding talent and abi-
lity can play or paint without
some form of training, but there
are hundreds of persons, vrlxs�,
vv�itwa,,Txttlergcoura,gxeti are
a t` it #raifiirf are amaze
to find within ,themselves latent
talent that was never even sus-
pected. So the Salada Tea Com-
pany is definitely helping the
cultural life of rural Ontario by
sponsoring such a worthwhile
project.
The judges were two well-
known artists — Palmer and
Casson. I was interested in one
criticism they made — that the
artists showed a tendency to
copy a scene exactly as they
saw it. "Sometimes," said Mr.
Palmer, "there is more in know-
ing what to leave out of a pic-
ture than what to put in it"
That takes a little digesting but
if you mull. it 'over long enough
it sounds so reasonable, After
all a painting is not a photo-
graph — although, come t e
think of it many photographs
would also be improved if a few
of the details were left out! But
a painting - . . take a shapely
elm for instance, its lovely sym-
metrical branches sheltering laz-
ing cows beside a stream. It
is a beautiful tree but it has
quite a number of dead, disfig-
uring branches. A camera would
photograph those branches but
an artist would never dream of
letting them appear on his can-
vas. Isn't that typical of what
the critics meant?
By the way, I thought Mr.
Casson had .a wonderful idea.
He suggested that the Depart-
ment of Education set up a
truck with an instructor to go
out to amateur art groups

there was one.
Which reminds me, I have •a*,
reprint of a beautiful picture ,by
A. J. Casson, P.R.C.A. It is cell-
ed "Canadian Spring" and fea-
tures white trilliums. Early last,
January when old calendars
were being discarded I saw this,,
picture hanging in a feed store.
I asked the manager what he
was going to do with it. "Noth-
ing — take it if you want it."
I often look at that picture and -
think what a treasure I rescued
from the trash can,
Well, I seem to have let, pic-
tures and painting run away
with my space. But we're still
here on the good • old farm.
Partner has been getting a pen
ready for our pullets, then he
dug my flower bed ready for
geraniums next spring. The 50 -
odd cuttings I set out in the
garden appear to be quite
healthy — and I keep adding to
their numbers. When it comes'
time to pot them ready for win-
ter storage it could be that my
enthusiasm may suffer a slight
set -back. •

Twice - T;j o Late
It was the boast of the late
unlamented Adolf Hitler that
he apologized to only two men
in his life — Field -Marshal von
Brauchitsch, who had constantly
stressed the importance of
' ,rocket research, and Major-
General Walter Dornberger, the
soldier -scientist in charke of
soldier - scientist in charge of
who did more than any other
man to develop the V2.
Why did the mighty Fuhrer
so humble himself? Because he
had never had faith in rockets
as a war weapon; and when in
1943 he had a dream they would
never be operational against
England he refused any prior-
ity.
Too late — he realized his
blunder. Bence the apologies.
Between September 8th, 1944,
4 and March 27th, 1945, 1,190 V2's
were launched against London,
with deadly effect. Nearly 3,000
people were killed and over
6,000 seriously injured. But in
his book "V2" a fascinating ac-
count of German rocket devel-
opment from its early begin
nings in 1930 - Walter Dorn
berger reveals that but . for
Hitler's blindness it might have
been possible to have launched
that number every month from
1942,
Would such a barrage of V.
weapons have altered the course
of the war? The author believes
so, and quotes President Eisen-
hower's war history "Crusade
I in Europe," in which he wrote:
"If the Germans had succeeded
in perfecting these new weep
ons six months earlier and put -
them into action as opportunty
arose, it is probable that aur in-
vasion of Europe would .have
come up against tremend.ot s
difficulties and might have be-
come impossible,
"I am certain that after six
months of such action, 'Opera-
tion Overlord' — the attack on
Europe from England -- would
have had to be written off "
