Page.14 — Halton Hills This. Week, Wednesday, May 19, 1993 Women’s Institute report By Betty Sojka Mrs. Grace McEnery gives us the following Women’s Institute report. The May meeting of the Ballinafad Women’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Don Brown on May 5. This was the agricultural meeting with Helen Brown as convener. The evening was devoted to edu- cation and agriculture among school children as the main theme. After opening exercises and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, the roll call “Ideas for Making the Love of Rural Living in our Young Pe visitors. E.g., “The beauty of nature”, “4-H Clubs”, “fostering love of animals”. The program came first, we were fostering the theme of agricultural awareness in the classroom. So many children in spite of living in the country, are Not part of the farming activity nor aware of the animals or machinery that surrounds them. This is bad enough for town and city children, but with so much urban sprawl, there are many children to be edu- cated. We had two speakers bringing in suggestions on what is being done in our area to improve.this situa- tion. Mrs. Ruth Kranendonk of the Halton District W.I. was present to tell us of the “Dairy Discovery Days” to be held at the Halton Agricultural Museum from June 9- 13. School children will be brought to see dairy activities from feeding the cows to milking and production of butter and cheese, as well as equipment pertaining to dairy farm- ing. Everyone is welcome to come. Bus loads of children will be com- ing from all over Ontario. The second guest was Mrs. Eileen Brown, president of the ladies division of the Erin fair. She brought a-video of the educational day for children at Erin Fair, which is held on the Friday before Thanksgiving. Most fairs have a Friday Education Day, but Erin is rather unique. They bring ‘in all types of livestock and have a pet- ting zoo. Hands-on is the motto. The pupils see the cows being milked and even try themselves. They have bales of hay and straw and play in it. This video is called “Agricultural Awareness in the Class Room”. Although we live five miles from Erin, few of us were aware of what agricultural education goes on for children. The business was conducted which consisted mainly of plans for the Halton District Annual meeting to be held at Brookville Hall on May 27 from 2 on, with supper and an evening program.

Last week’s Hall Board meeting was very productive as neighbors and members aired the concerns of the new fence to be put by the soc- cer pitch. Many valid points were raised, and it was decided to get a Price on a six foot fence, and not to include gates into private proper- ties. Lights for the baseball diamond were discussed, but because of the immense expense it was felt this expenditure would not be in the near future. The Hall Board is plan- ning on having a clean-up day at the park on Saturday, June 5. Please call Jim Bailey at 877-6651 and Bonnie Walker at 877-6639 for more details.
