Mills' down te earth interpreta- tions gave much food. for thought. The tapic, "Citizenship", was given by Mrs. A. Barnes who asked for opinions from the au- dience as ta what was requîred ai a gaod citizen. It was agreed the church affiliation, educa- tion, an interest in pahitics, and good home making made up goad citizenship. Mrs., Barnes said that a woman's finest role is béing a successful wife and cited several famous men who had been fortunate in having wives who cantributed very much ta the success of their husbands.

Due ta her reahization that those early homes lacked pro- per ventilation, facilities for the care of food, better heating and lîghting, etc., she neyer waver- ed in her determination that iarm women shauhd have dam- estic science education. Perhaps t,)o iew realize how much has been given by the W.I. in the field ai health aad education in home making. From an article, "the Road Ahead" written in 1947 oy Ethel Chapman, was the suggestion that as one order changes new respansibilities arise.
