iFebruary 19,, 1897. •Since- that time
our organization has grown to `3,000
Institutes in Canada with a member-
ship of over 70.,004 rarer women. We
take pride in the expansion of our
organization, first to. Great Britain
and then to other lands; and now in
half a century .it enoireles the world.
It is known as• Canada's: gift to the
country women of the world. The In-
stitute is the largest and most wide-
spread single organization for women
in the world.
The W L recognizes nd class, creed;
race, religion; nor '.political party;
there is something in the spirit of
the organization that seems to dis-
solve imaginary social barriers. Per-
haps the reason is that •it has its

cexihrs, ' aroll d' Exeter, .,So while we
are ,celebrating the 50th Jubilee, we
age celebrating the South "Huron's
26th anniversary, but there were die,
trict meetings held; for three years
before 1922, of -Which no record was
kept. At that tiMe there was a' farm--
er's institute organization in HXeter
Snd just like .the mother institute at
toney dreek, being -formed through
the 'Farnier'e .Institute, .Sojith Huron
got ite beginning through the Farm -
errs Institute at Exeter.-
A .;utoznan from the Department of
Agrieulture carie to Exeter andepoke
to tile women on "Nutrition" and got
the organization established, with
Mrs: (Dr.) Amos, president, and Mrs,
A. Hastings, 'secretary. The meetings
in those early years were a :very
crude affair, likewise the conventions
too. The women were staggered if
such a thing as parliamentary. proce-
dure • was • mentioned. • When one
thinks of. it,' we have come a long
Way e•ince 'then in conducting meet-
ings 'and business! ability.
There are eight activ,Q.institutes in
this district. There have been, sever-
al 'others, but they , have disbanded.
The •oldest institute in the distriot is
Zurich. It was organized in January,
1914. Mrs. Amos and Mrs. Hastings
worked untiringly in organizing the
next three branches. The first branch
organized was Hurondale on March
26, 1919. Crediton was organized. in
May, 1919, and Farquhar Institute
was •organized about the same ..time.
Even though,,,, the district meetings
were held in Exeter at Senior's Hall
or the Pubiic..Library, the Exeter In-
stitute was not organized until June
7, 1923. The Seaferth Institute had
its beginning through the Seaforth
Junior Institute, which was organized
in 1928. Hensali also had their be-
ginning through the Juniors which
was organized following a short
course they• held -in ••1936 and in 1937
they changed to the Senior Institute.
Zurich formed a" Junior Institute in
1934 which la&ted • only three years.
Varna also had a junior institute in
1914 which lasted but two years.
1Cippen 'East Institute was organized
in December, 1934. Exeter disbanded
in 1942 due to the difficulty in secur-
ing officers. Crediton disbanded in
1943 due to the pressure of war•••workq
but reorganized - in November of last
- year. 'Farquh'ar Institute disbanded
after five' years of service. Their trou-
ble was due to their inability to se-
cure officers. One of the newest or-
ganizations is Gra1Yd Bend, which was
organized two years ago, in 1945, and
our latest society is the Exeter Jun-
iors which was organized in March of
this year, following a short -course
,they 'held last winter.
We have with us today most of the
past officers since 'the beginning, of
the District. The presidents and Sec-
retaries have worked untiringly for
the good of Institute work. There are
perhaps.. some of them you have not
seen for some years, and I •know will
be •glad -to shake hands with them to-
day.- We .are very .Pleased -to have
'them with us.
-On June 9; 1922, an annual Meeting
was held in the Public Library at 3.00
o'clock. At that, time the branches
represented were Zurich, Huronale,
Crediton, and Farquhar. Mrs. 'Amos,
president, and Mrs. Hastings, secre-
tary, presided, but since both the

sion 12, McKillop; it wag only a mile
across the fields 50 years ago from
the bridegroom's home tp the bride's.
Mr. and Mrs. Stimore were married
by the late Rev. Daniel McGregor, of
the Reorixanized • • •Gh:ure1t of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. At the
time of his marriage Mr.;Stimore took
over the 'management of the faabily
farm at Manley;, nine years. later Mr.
and Mrs. Stimore moved to lot 15,,
concession 14, McKillop, between Mc-.
Naught and Walton, where they
farmed. for 26 years, They went .then
to Ethel, where M. Stimore was for
three and a half years: superintendent
of the elevator. On retirement from
that position they !lived for five years
on a •six -acre plot at Trowbridge, and•
moved to Walton 'about four years
ago.
Mr. Stimore served as a sohool trus-
tee for many years in his home sec-
tion, S.S. 9, McKillop, and was for
two years chairman of the board of
school trustees.
Mr. and Mrs. Stimore have two
sons and ,two daughters. Norval is
now farming the home place, lot 15,
con. 14, and Alvin is farming at lot
17, con. 14, McKillop. Myrtle, Mrs.

president and secretary were leaving
Exeter, it was necessary to elect new
officers. The next president was Mrs.
John Hey, of 'Zurich. The same Mrs.
Hey is with the organization today,
and is just as interested in Institute
work now as she was in 1922. She
was president from 1922 to 1930, with
the exception tone year which made
seven years in office. Next we had
Miss Jeckell, of Exeter, as president
for that one year, in 1925. Nearing
the close of the Institute year in 1925.
Miss Jeckell became very ill and was
forced to retire from Institute work
for some time, much to the sorrow
of the Institbtes of South Huron.
Even though there is no Women's In-
stitute in Exeter for Miss Jeckell to
take part in, she is very interested
in the work and is frequenty asking
me about something that is going on
in Institute work. Now the next presi-
dent; .a very energetic nn -a,mbitious
worker, was Miss N. Reddy, from
Hurozdale, president -for three years
up to 1939. The next president was
Mrs. W. E. Walker, of Exeter. She
was president for one year, 1940, but

JOHN BEATTIE
Canada's Health
Mixed Victuals
Healthful foods don't create myster-
ious poisons in" the human system
simply because they are mixed. Nutri-
tion authorities at Ottawa brand as
untrue the belief that certain foods,
under ordinary conditions, will- 'fight'
in the stomach if eaten together.
Even a combination of lobster and
ice cream 'needn't be Shunned entire-
ly' by the healthy person, and most
victuals may be mixed without' qualms
by those with robust digestions.
Of course,' warn the nutritionists,

If you have had a becoming tan for
the summer beach, you mustn't e--
pect to show a creamy white "skin at
the first dance in the fall, say the
authorities..
Tea An Extra
Refreshing and .pleasant as tea is
it should not be,treated as a meal- in
itself. Food authorities say: that: of-
ten a vague craving for food results
in tea drinking at frequent intervals.
People fool themselves into thinking
they need nothing else. The fact is,
we need three square meals a day.
Nothing can take the place of whole-
some food. So, say the nutritionists,
let tea take second place. Eat -your
regular meals and then you won't
suffer from that hidden hunger which
a cup of tea stifles.
Summer Appetites -
If Canadians find the appetite a bit
jaded in summer months, authorities
on healthful -feeding offer ice cream
as ideal tor whipping up,. the interest
in the palate. ••
Ice cream 'is nutritious as well as
palatable. It includes, in addition to
a mixture of cream and other milk
products, such things as starch, sugar,
gelatine, •gum arabic, flavoring ex-
tracts and eggs.
As a further invitation to- a meal,
nutritionists suggest some such de-
licious "topping" as fresh strawber-
ries on the ice . cream. •
Cooling Measures -
To keep cool this summer, health
authorities advise light weight and
loose clothing, particularly ; around,
the neck. To compensate the body
for its natural loss of water through
perspiration, they, prescribe small
drinks of water, at frequent intervals.
Sweetened drinks, the doctors tell
us, will only create greater thirst if
taken in excess. To help replace the
salt lost to the body through perspir,
ation, and to offset possible heat
cramps, it is suggested i. that Cans-
