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.
We are pleased to be asked to
have representation in the Ont-
ario Hall of Fame Association,
which was formed in order to
establish and maintain a gallery
for recognition of persons who
