WI makes donations
The November meeting of Goderich Twp.
Women's Institute opened with repeating
the Ode and Mary Stewart Collect led by the
president Hazel McCreath.
Roll call was "Should Canada open her
doors to all nationalities for immigration".
Sorne answers were: people from refugee
camps should be welcome, immigrants
should be checked for diseases, be willing to
accept our churches and schools, why come
if they can't accept our ways. There are
good and bad people in any country so there
are rnixed feelings because of different
happenings.
Secretary Helen Fuller read the minutes
and correspondence. A donation was given
to the Day Care Centre at Huronview. Plans
were made for the Christmas meeting on
December 15. A report was given on London
Area Convention.
Grace Walter and Letitia Riddell, con-
venors for Citizenship and World Affairs,
had the program. Grace read information
on the beginning of • Kanata; Canada.
Kanata is an Indian word interpreted by
Jacques Cartier as Canada in 1791. She told
how Canada grew from a few provinces to
its present size. The Coat of Arms was
granted November 25, 1921 by King George
V. Canada's first original flag, the Maple
Leaf was granted by Queen Elizabeth,
February 15, 1965. The first Citizenship Act
was formed in 1947 so the 40th Anniversary
is being celebrated this year. It includes the
rights, freedoms and responsibilities of our
citizens.
Letitia conducted a quiz which brought
out a discussion and learning experience on
an interesting subject.
Berneice McIlwain, Resolutions Con-
venor, had the program for the October
meeting. The resolutions concerned:
transportation for the disabled; aids asking
for screening of every immigrant to
Canada; requesting the Community Health
Programs Branch of the Ontario Ministry of
Health to extend their' mandate to service
all disabled people, regardless of age.
All these resolutions were sustained at the
London Area Convention. Roll call was "In

below and off to the right" Necks crane
"if it weren't for the cloud cover."
I started wondering if the pilot had a bit
of a sick sense of humour or whether
there was in fact a pilot. Maybe those
tour highlights had been pre-recorded,
like the video.

how to do this. It was very messy but very
enjoyable exercise.

after a week of recuperating from an ap-
pendectomy. We missed Jeremy's cheerful
face and are glad he's back. All the students
have learned to load and use one program

and Ben Wheeler have done very well in this
activity.
