Delegates were welcomed to the college by Dr. McLachlan, president of O.A.C. A moment’s silence was observed for members who had died during the year, while the president read the 23rd. Psalm. The outstanding feature of the first afternoon was the president’s address by Mrs. Gordon McPhatter of Owen Sound. She told of the project for Ceylon when $7,253.56 was raised to equip five villages with home demon­ stration centres. Mrs. McPhatter re­ ferred to last year’s project for Korea when $7,000.00 was donated to buy sewing machines and looms for the war widows of Korea. An un­ solicited fund was that of Hurricane Hazel when $18,000.00 was donated in cash besides clothing, bedding and other equipment. Mrs. McPhatter, who was recently appointed as a member of the F.W.I.C. executive, told of plans to set up a national conven­ tion to be held in Ottawa in 1957. Report was made of the annual holi­ day at Guelph which this year had the largest attendance in history with 500 in attendance in one day. The president advised that next year one half of the secretaries in the province would attend the conference.

V. Thompson presided for the program and intro­ duced Miss Angela Arnitt of the Ex­ tension Department of Western Uni­ versity, who spoke on humor.
