Literacy theme of WI convention
“Freedom Through Literacy’’
was the theme for the 88th District
Annual meeting of Huron East
District Women Institute held in
the Fordwich United Church Tues
day, May 8.
The president Mrs. Margaret
McMahon opened and conducted
the business of the meeting. Enter
tainment from Bluevale by two
W.I. members conducting a lesson
on a husband teaching his wife to
drive a car, brought forth a
chuckle.
Volunteer hours amounted to
10,629 hours broken down in to
several categories. June has been
declared as W.I. month and bran
ches are urged to do something
special to promote their oganiza-
tion. Public Relations Officer Mrs.
Ruth Harding also reported that
more members have their own
badges and hand books. Board
member Mrs. Barb Pinkney gave
much worthwhile information and
spoke about Associated Women of
the World mini conference June 1,
2, 3 at Ottawa. A logo for the W.I.
Centennial year will be chosen in
August. The Butler project which
has been some time in the prepara
tion will be finished this year as
this is providing animal pictures to
the schools.
Mrs. Clara Gibson, Tweedsmuir
Curator gave her report and re
minded the branches to send their
reports to her and not the co-ordin-
ator. The project is to get pictures
and information of past presidents
and secretaries of the district.
Greetings were brought by
Guelph area president Mrs. Fran-
cina Sebben. Jane Muegge, Huron
County Home Economist, told
about 4H porgrammes. She re
marked that numbers were up and
some changes are to take place.
Mrs. Jean Wilson gave the Co
ordinator’s Report and it showed
that the W.I. had many good
programmes.
Mrs. Aleida Murray introduced
the guest speaker Mrs. Marjorie
Heinbuck who spoke on the theme.
She works with the Literacy Council
of Kitchener-Waterloo. She com
mented that most people do not
realize the implications, literacy
has on the work force. Can you
imagine what it’s like to not be able
to read a recipe, or be unable to
leave the house because you can't
read the street signs. Third World
Countries’ women can not make up
babies’ formula. There are 4.5
million iliterate people in Canada
alone. How can we help? We can
become a tutor. Sometimes this
When it comes to hiring the Deaf,
seeing is believing.

takes as long as two or three years.
Encourage a non-reader to take a
course. You can start a pro
gramme, it only takes a few to get
started. Fight with T.V. which
some people do instead of reading.
Mrs. Barb Pinkney and Mrs.
Leone Foerther talked on a new
programme on Adult Leader Train
ing on topics members would like.
This year members have a choice of
Landscaping or Bread Baking, the
choice to be in by June 30.

this as to what the group would
serve. Delegates to the meeting
were chosen. Meeting closed with
courtesy remarks from Bluevale

will be held in 1991.
