Hensel], and Kippen East in the basement of the Northside United Church. Mrs. Clar- ence Hayes, Georgetown„ spoke on "Community Enterprises". The speaker stressed the need for this kind of work at -'the present time. First, during the war, women were united in groups in cooperative effort such as Red Gross groups, overseas sewing clubs, etc. Now that these are no longer urgent the need is still felt' for unity and get-togethers. Also community pro- jects were neglected during the war years. Secondly, there is now a per- iod of grave unrest. The social prob- lems are aggravated. The outcrop of, this is that the blame is foisted on one thing or another. It may be blamed on the schools and educa- tional system; on the home life or the church. ertainly great changes in home life today are bearing much of the blame. Third, A .period of strikes is upon us. The rural and urban life is more closely inter- locked. This brings •repercussions. Each blames the other for unfair prices and labour management. Fourth, there is a weakened inter- est in adult education just when it is most important. People need more outside stimulation in world and so- cial education. Because of strikes many city people have shorter work- ing hours. This calls for a greater effort to provide constructive lei sore time activities. Without these many minds dwell on their own selves and their health. Many ills are mind made. Older people should have passive interests in their own age group to replace the active in- terest of the younger ,age. Recrea- tion is as basic a need in the human race as food and drink. The word citizenship is often mis- construed. It. embodies the communi- ty work and aggressiveness. Many people would give everything for democracy. We should support the democratic way of life by getting behind'the good movements of the people in regard to better facilities for education, service to the church and helping welfare groups of 'which one of the most powerful in the world is the Women's Institute.
