WI CELEBRATES
ITS 90TH YEAR
Enhancing the quality of life in rur-
al communities was the central theme at
the 90th anniversary celebration held by
the Federated Women's Institutes of
Ontario (FWIO) in North Bay last
month.
More than 1,100 women and 80
men were present to hear Alex Sim, a
sociologist and educator, discuss his
recently concluded study, The New
Rural Communit, . Neighbours, he said,
have lost touch as rural communities
have changed, and urban people moving
in often suffer culture shock. He chal-
lenged the Women's Institutes to knock
on doors, initiate communication, and
again establish a caring community.
Beatrice Reeves of Prince Edward
Island, president of the Federated
Women's Institutes of Canada (FWIC),
seconded the challenge. The FWIC, she
noted, is focusing on agriculture and
public relations. Among its accom-
plishments are the free trade seminars
held recently in each province, the set-
ting up of an international fund to bring
a woman from a Third World country to
study at the Coady Insitute in An-
tigonish, Nova Scotia, and a project in
Ethiopia to install a solar -panelled water
pump as a source of energy for crop
irrigation.
As Margaret Munro, president of
the FWIO, said in regard to the conven-
tion theme, Building for Tomorrow,
FWIO members have contributed
$72,000 to various organizations and
projects and must continue to meet the
challenges of this "computer age."
In a review of the new constitution
of the Women's Institutes, several
changes were noted. The first president-
elect will be chosen at the annual board
meeting of the FWIO in November,
1987, and program co-ordinators (rather
than conveners) are to be elected at all
levels.
In addition, scholarships com-
memorating the 90th anniversary were
awarded to institute members who are
furthering their education. The winners
were Etta Nowak of Cochrane, Mary
Alice Rock of Tavistock, andJoan Bates
of Lakefield.

ship winner, Libbylu Allen of Jamaica,
