The Lucknow Sentinel, 1978-04-26, Page 12THE HOME PLACE Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, Aprit 6, 197$ -Page 11 Federated Women's Institute holds annual meting It was with deep concern and much research that resolutions` were sustained at the ' semi- annual meeting of the Federated VVonien's Institute of Toronto this week. Not only are they making decisions for the 30,000 members in Ontario, but for all citizens that \ may be affected by the action. These resolutions are sent in from all over the Province and require much deliberation. The Directors were strong in their vote regar4ing the gifts of money paid by Canada Council to writers `Of obscene literature and will urge that the Canada Council be directed to give their grants to tnore worthy projects. The mem- bers approved, in principle, many resolutions and urged the mem- bership to take individual action. Resolutions were sustained regarding land fill sites, possible Canada pension payments by homemakers, and the request that the food colorant Amaranth (red dye #2) be banned. The members wish to commend the many Government Ministries for their continued efforts on behalf of the people, regarding improved health standards, con- sumer concerns, the penareform laws, and the rehabilitation pro- grams being implemented. With Education being an important part of thi' Women's Institute work, scholarships con- tinde to be awardeci. Through the Home Economics Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, over .5,500 4-11 girls were instructed in homemaking skills, and over 34,000 women took part in the senior training program in the past year. Molly McGhee, the Director of Home Economics, said that in this day there is asrowing need for education in the preser- vation and .safety of foods, food processing and food additives, and her staff is preparing courses that will be available for all women. Mrs. Clarence Diamond, as Provincial President, encouraged the women to "Strengthen the, Family Unit", and indeed the Women's Institute does just with its extensive educational pro- grams. An important phase of this work is the Officers Confer- ence to be held at the Waterloo University from May 2nd to the 4th, when delegates from all over the Province will come together to learn by listening, being involved in discussions, and participation. The decision was made that the donationc that are sent in for UNESCO will be forwarded to Zambia to provide fresh piped water. The F.W.I.O. also shows its concern for others with $1,500.00 being sent to the Women's organization in Camer- oon National 'Union, to assist in setting up training establish- ments for rural leaders. The Erland tee Home at Stoney Creek remains therpriority project of this organization as we preserve the heritage of the Founder. Mrs. Austin Zoeller, as Chairman of this committee, has plans underway for a •Women's Institute week from June 5th to the 9th, when visitors will be welcomed at the home to observe crafts, exhibits, and see the many improvements that have been made. The F.W;1.0. continues , itt membership in the "Coalition to Preserve Foodland", and com- mends the interesi; that is shown by the organizations involved.
