The Statesman joins in congratu- lating the bonored couple witb the hope that their health will be greatly improved. Holiday in Mexico Enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Morrili To return borne from the ban- ana beit of aid Mexico and find snowbanks half the beigbt of tele- phone pales was the experience of Mr. and Mrs. Fergus Morrili, wbo despite the snow were glad ta be back at their dairy and fruit farm adjacent ta Bowmanville. .Leaving 'Bowmanviile, Dec. 26 in their Chrysier sedan tbey nia- tored soutb tbrougb the U.S.A. ta Laredoý, Texas, and continued on over the new highway ta Mexico City. Their destination was Ac- apulco, the Riviera of the Western bemisphere, nestling on a bay on the west caast with the warm wa- ters of the Pacific laving golden sands. People from many parts of the world winter bere in a climate that produces 'bananas and cocoa- nuts and' luxury accommodation abounds. Mr. and Mrs. Morrili motored ahl told a distance of ov- er 8,000 miles and the journey through Mexico was over 2,500 miles. There was no trouble about customs andi passports and people were found unusuaily friendly. The motorists, saw the sigbts of the early civilization in America and bad a mast enjoyable trip. The only drawback was poor quality of gasoline in sanie parts of Mexico. They bath no car trouble and nat a single tire blowout. Snow Removal Proves Cheap Flood Insu rance The smartest, neatest, cheap- est, most effective job performed for the Town of Bowmanville at any time in snow removal bas just been completed by Leland Payne of Newtonville. Owner of a high-wheel farm tractar ta wbich hie had fashioned an automatic snow scoop, hie was hired. by Tim Garton, chairman, Roads and Streets Commit'tee, under author- ity of the Town Council, ta re- move snow banked along curbs in the downtown section. Keeping three trucks busy haul- ing away snow as this novel ma- chine loadedi tbem, the job was completed at. a cast much less than hand sbovelling and in hall the time. It permitted, business ta aperate normally. and at the same time proved cheap flood in- surance for the spring thaw. Taking advan'tage of the appar- tunity of baving Mr. Payne in town, he was contacted by The Statesman after the job was cam- pleted, ta remove a great depth of snow at the rear of the James Block ta avoid the cellar being ,flooded later. 1Operating with trucks owned manner;ypersan, being scal more acceptable, is correspond- ingly happier, and, bence, bealth- ier.1 FEDERATION PRESIDENT R.

There is no age limit ta this movement, neither is there a limit ta its possibilties.

Sa came out next Thursday night and offer ta do your part ta make Bowmanville a better pla - in which ta live. What is Recreation? A Major Community Problem Bart Smithson Recreational Director Recreation is leisure activity engaged in for its own sake. The dictionary calis recreatian re- freshment. However, it is ex- tremely important also as a med- ium of personality development. Recreation may be a personal hobby or some experience shared with a small or large group. It may be arganized or unorganized, under private auspices or govern- mental, commercial or non-com- mercial. In any event, it is today cast in a greater raie than hereto- fore since it is the principal op- portunity of many people for ex- pressive, joyous living. Recreation is becoming a more and mare vital element of city and town life. It is flot merely a mat- ter of fun during leisure hours. It is a major factor in education- for good citizenship and good liv- ing. Recreation means health, relaxation and community spirit- for aduits as well as children. It is increasingly needed in the post- war world where people through shorter working hours have more leisure time. Leisure time is also one of the major problems of youth and the way to ultimately cut down the great overhead in penal institut- ions and to reduce the number who are sentenced by aur courts is ta see that these boys and girls spent their leisure time under good leadership. Boys and girls do not become criminals overnight. The leisure time after school hours and during the holidays is one of their greatest problems. The starting of a Recreation Program in any community is dif- ficult. In this regard Bowmanville is the same as many other towns and cities in Ontario in the fact that they have not had fully or- ganized and co-ordinated recrea- tion before. The scope of a recrea- tion program is amazing. Same idea of what will be attempted by the Community Council is in- dicated by the listings on a re- creation questionnaire which will be published and circulated next week. The co-operation of every- one will be asked in filling out and returning these forms. By this questionnaire the committee will be able t findoutwhat eac SOCIAL AND PERSONAL r, N.C.F.

Ha. Shown Growth Un Last Fifty Years The ambitiaus plans wbicb are being madle for the celebration of the 5Oth annîversary of Wo- men's Institutes on February 19 of this year bring out in 'high relief the great progress which has been macde by this pioneer or- ganization of rural women since its inception. On February 19, 1897, a group of women from, the Stoney Creek district met in Squires' Hall in that village, and belfore the meeting was over they had formed a new organization and laid the foundation for the great rural womnen's, movement which now practically encircles the globe. It is significant that the primary purpose af the first Women's Institute was not ta raise money, but rather ta pro- vide a medium tbrough which rural women could meet at reg- ular intervals ta discuss their problems, and ta become inform- ed regarding their duties and responsibilities as bomemakers anci citizens. The credit for inspiring forma- tion of the first Women's Insti- tute goes ta Mrs. Adelaide Hood- less of Hamilton. A short time before, Mrs. Hoodiess, on the in- vitation of Erlanci Lee of Stoney Creek, was asked ta speak at an eveming meeting of the Farmers' Institute. She spoke on the value and need of teaching Domestic Science and sewing in the public scbools, and finding that the wo- men were interested, she sug- gested that an Institute for Wo- men be formed, similar ta the Farmers' Institute. Her sugges- tion was immeddately taken up by the women of the district, and a meeting wa-s arranged for Febru- a.ry 1,9, 1897, in Squires' Hall, Stoney Creek. One hundredi and one wamen attended the meeting, and decided ta organize a Wo- men's Department of Domestic Economy in affiliation witb the Farmer's Institute. Thus the Mo- ther Institute of the world-wide organization came inta being. The original abjects appearing in the Constitution of the Wo- men's Institute, drafted at that time, are almost identical with the one which appears today in the Women's Institute Handbook, with one clause added.. The Con- stitution reads: "The abject of this. Institute shaîl be ta pramate that know- ledge of Householdi Science which shall iead ta an improvenient in household architecture, with spe- cial attention ta home sanitation, ta a better understanding of the ecanomic and scientific care of children with a view ta raîsing the generai standard of bealth of aur people; (added clause) and carrying on any line of work which has for its objects better- ment of home and. conditions sur- rounding cammunity life." The motta chosen was "For Home and Country." From that small beginnîng in a littie hall in an Ontario village, the Women's Institutes have be- came a great force for rural bet- terment througbout the worid.

Today there are close ta 36,000 members in the 1,300 Institutes in the Province of Ontario, and 70,- 000 in appraximately 3,000 Insti- tutes in the Domiunion of Canada. Tbirty years ago, the Institute mavement spread ta England, and ta a Canadiian woman, Mrs. Alfred Watt of Ontario, feul the honor of organizing the first Institute there. Today, there is a member- ship of neariy 100,000 in the Brit- ish Isies. The Women's Institute movement thereafter spreed ta nearly every country in Europe and New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and India. until at the iast conference, of the Associ- ated Countrywomen of the World, held in 1939, some thirty countries were represented. Sa the Wo- men's Institute movement, now celebrating its.50th anniversary, can well be termed., "Ontario Farmn Women's Gift ta the Worid." The late Premier Baldwin of Great Britain, in visiting Canada a few years ago, expressed that tbought in a compliment wbîch he paid ta the Canadian Insti- tutes in whicb he said: "One' of the greatest contribu- tions that Canada has ever made ta England was the Women's In- stitutes, and we cannat be too grateful ta you for giving us the idea. These Institutes have brought new interest, fresh life, activity and happiness inta bun- dreds of aur villages. Tbey have given a stimulus ta education and many forms of co-operation which I hope ta see extended every- where."' B.H.S. Screech OwI (Continued. from Page One) land 10; F. Fry (captain) 6; D.
