FWIO honours Walton woman By Janice Becker Citizen staff More than 40 years of dedication to an organization has brought recognition for a Walton woman. During the 100th anniversary cel­ ebrations of the Federated Wom­ en's Institute of Ontario, Marjory Humphries, a member since June, 1956, was honoured for her contri­ bution to both the organization and her community. Each branch of the Women's Institute across the province was asked to submit one name for the honour. Of the 500 entrants, 100 recipients were chosen.

During her 40 years of involve­ ment, Humphries has held the posts of: president and secretary at the branch level; president, secretary, public relations officer and several convenorships at the district level; secretary for five years for the area and served on the board of directors for the FWIO, representing subdi­ vision 11, Centre and North Perth and Huron East.
