PAGE FOUR THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARXO THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 1946 Federated Womei Plan forExpande Plans for an expanded program, with particular emphasis no ac- tivities and courses ta meet the needs o! rural women and espe- cially the young matrons, formed the basis o! braad discussions at the spring meeting o! the Board o! the Federated Women's Insi- tutes o! Ontario heid recently in Toronto. Mrs. Hugh Summers, president, presided, during whicli a comprehensive review was made o! some o! the important projects o! the past year, as a guide t "o planning for the future. This meeting saw the advent o! a new secretary ta replace Mrs. W. B. Leatherdale, Coidwater, who resigned a!ter twelve years o! de- voted service, and was replaced by Mrs. John H. McCuiloch, o! Brampton. -Ptesident's Address In hier presidential address, In'S Institutes ed Programme Mrs. Hugh Summers urged an in- crease o! membership and the or- ganization o! new Institutes s0 that ail the rural women o! the province couid be stimulated to take an interest beyond their own homes, and acquire an understand- ing o! na 'tional and international affairs, so as ta play their part in preserving the democratic way o! life. She said it was not necessary ta stress ta farm women the im- portance o! saving food, but she hoped that relie! in the way o! extra farm workers would soon be availabie ta lielp the overbur- dened farmers in their efforts to attain maximum food production. Mrs. Summers suggested that greater empliasis be placed on the establishment a! health units and libranies in the rural com- munities. An impressive repart on the Central Fund for War Charities was presented ta the meeting by Mrs. Nelson Tait, showing that since it started, a total of $33,06 1 had been collected for this fund. For the last year, the collections amounted to $10,165.75. Disburse- ments during the year included the following: Seeds ta Britain, $2,256.56; Sugar and Jam ta Brit- ain, $272.90; British War Victims Fund, $ 109.50; Milk for Britain Fund, $185.50; Navy League of Canada, $555; Save the Children Fund, $911; Red Cross War Pri- soners' und, $1,000; Queen's Can- adian Fund, $342. It was decided ta dispose of the balance of funds on hand by giving $500 ta the Amputations Association Fund, $235 ta the Save the Chldren Fund, by providing four bedside tables and a radio ta each of the twelve veterans' haspitals in On- tario, and using the balance o! about $3,000 for the benefit of pa- tients in Sunnybroak Hospital. In addition, it was reported that Wamen's Institutes had contribut- ed $1,236 ta the Princess Alice Foundation, and $.477 ta the Has- "Big 20"% And the rlch, home-baked flavor of bread baked with New Fast Rising Royal will make your family brag about your baking mare than ever.

ACCIDENTS ON INCREASE Ontario industrial accident fig- ures for the first quarter of 1946 show an increase of 1,695 over the same period last year. Figures reparted by thé Indust- rial Accident Prevention Associa- tions from records of the Work- men's Compensation Board state that in the first three months of 1946 there were 32,1,61 accidents, including 117 fatal cases, while in the first three montlis o! 1945 the figures were 30,466 and 123. The Awards by the Board in the f irst quarter o! 1946 were almost $280,000 in excess of awards for the same period in 1945. pital for Sick Children Building Fn.Expand Program Miss Anna P. Lewis, superin- tendent of tke Women's Institute Branch, in a comprehensive re- port, foretold expansion of the activities of the Branch through the addition of more instructors and home economists, and mndi- cated that two instructors were ta be appointed in handicrafts, and that it was hoped ta have a psy- chologist added ta the departmen- tai staff ta direct a course in fa- mily living. Miss Lewis also stated that the schaol of training for judges. for women's classes at Faîl Fairs was being resumed, and was being held at Kemptville this month. Speaking of program planning, Miss Lewis said the program must be made attractive to' the young matrons for whom the Women's Institutes were first organized. She sa win the Insti- tutes a strong rural farce giving leadership ta the rural women of Ontario, but ta be that they must meet adequately the needs o! the rural women. 5th Anniversary Plans which are being develop- ed for the observance next year of the 50th anniversary of the founding o! Women's Institutes were presented by Mrs. G. G. Maynard, convener o! Historical Researchi. These plans pravide for celebrations of this anniver- sary by local Intitutes starting in February and reaching a climax in a mammoth mid-summer gath- ering. Many suggestions as ta special features for the anniver- sary celebration were put for- ward for further special consid- eration and action by the com- mittee. A goal of 50,000 members in the Sth annîversary year has been set for the Women's Insti- tutes. Home Economics Courses In a report on the courses ini Home Economics, prepared at the suggestion of the Minister of Agriculture, it was recommended that this brandi of the College should have the status of a de- finite department, with its head having equal rank with the heads of other departments. A four- year degree course, leading ta the degree of Bachelor of Home Ec- onomics, and a one-year practical course were recommended for the O.A .C. It was suggested that the one-year course start in the fail of 1946 and the four-year de- gree course in the fall of 1947. Educational Program Mrs. S. P. Dodds, Clute, Conven- er for Social Welfare, in lier re- port recommended the establish- ment of nursing services-in those communities not at present serv- ed, that higlier ideals be kept foremost in the educational pro- gram and that Institutes sponsor or assist with Music Festivals, Inter-school Public Speaking and Debating Clubs, Homemaking Clubs and Manual Training Clas- ses. She also recommended that every community should in a fit- ting way recognize the retyrýn pf its service men and women from service with the armed forces. Rates on Overseas Parcels A resolution was adopted ask- ing that the postal rates on par- cels of food being sent ta individ- uals or families in Britain be re- duced ta the same basis as pre- vailed for parcels sent ta mem- bers of the armed forces during the war, as it was felt that the existing postal rates for these parcels Were out of proportion ta the value of the contents of the parcels..

Seh.ddma;= oed 37 EASTERTIDE AT EMMAIJS (by a Daughter of the Parsonage) By ancient survey Jerusalem lay FrÔm Emmaus seven miles away: Two friends that journey took one day, When Israel's tribes went up to pray. It's Eastertide from far and wide The streets with motley crowds are lined. The pilgrims their devotions paid, Then homeward traced the Em- maus way. Their hearts are sad, their hopes forlorn And then a stranger came along. And as He talked the miles sped past Each one seemed shorter than the last. It's evèning now, the sun has set, For ail the day is now far spent. He walked and talked along the way. Let's ask this Stranger in to stay. He entered then a gracious Guest, Glad ta fulfili their soul's request, They sat at meàt-the table spread They knew Him as He blest the bread. A holy radiance shone around, New joy within their hearts abound, Their hopes revive, their sorrows fled, For Christ has risen as He. said. The author as many will recal after her former poems in The Statesman, is Mrs. Jane Gale Gar- rett. She is in her 94th year and is blind. NO ACCIDENT CAMPAIGN Urging support of the "No Ac- cident Campaîgn" planned for June this year, the Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Associations have sent Ontario plants a poster askîng support of everyone. The poster reads: "Industries have commîtted themselves for a 'No Accident Campaign.' You can help in this big job. Put your should- er ta the wheel, and make this plan a success. Don't clown on the job, work with care." six years o! operation the camps haven't liad a single epidemic, the Y.W.C.A. proudly points out. "~The educational value o! these camps cannot be overestimated," Miss Hankinson said. "They are praviding a practicai education for liundreds o! young people in the democratic life. Every camp- er contributes 10 cents a week ta- ward lieaith insurance, and it is surprising ta find out what a fine educational purpose is served by this one activity alone. Many campers liad neyer heard o! health insurance before tliey went ta camp. Our camps teach dlean- liness, orderliness, how ta care for the feet, personal hygiene, how ta avoid surburn, liow ta care for cuts and wounds. It's a liberal education in practical living ta attend one o! these Farm Service Force Camps." There is stili a need for young people in staff positions, it was pointed out. They shouid contact the Farm Service Force o! the Y.W.C.A., 571 Jarvis Street, Tor- onto. In co-operation witli the Canada and Newfoundiand Education Association, the National Film Board is planning an extensive ciassroom programme, cminn the use o! films, fiimstipds plays and other visual media.
