SE .. Damozel" The 12th Annual W.I. Convention The twelfth annual convention of the Women's Institute for the combined Districts of Rainy River, Thunder Bay and Kenora, held in the Pulp Mill Hall, Dry- den, closed last night after com- pleting one of the most interest- ing sessions ever held. Mrs. A. E. Walker provincial president was present for all sessions and expressed herself as delighted with the entire program. After registration on Wednesday morn- ing, the convention was officially opened by Mrs.e R. G. Wigle, chairman of the convention area and president of the Kenora Dis- trict. © The delegates were then greeted by Mrs. Dan Hutchison, president of the Dryden Branch and past District president, who delivered a brief address extend- ing the welcome of the local branch. Mrs. Hutchison's words were full of interest and urged the members to carry on the good work for home and country and never to lose the ideals of the Institute, the grandest and best in the world. Mrs. T. Dailey, Fort William, secretary of Thunder Bay Dis- trict, expressed much pleasure in being chosen to reply to the address of welcome and remark- ed that she still cherished mem- ories of the wonderful hospitali- ty of Dryden at the fifth annual convention held here. There was never a time when the spirit of the institute service and cooper- ation was more needed than now during these days of depression. She urged her listeners to buy clothing, foodstuffs and house- hold goods made in Canada or at least in the Empire. Mrs. Daley commented in the splen- did program arranged for the! convention, covering the educa- tional, spiritual and entertain- ment to a nicety. Mrs. Wigle then introduced the provincial president, Mrs. A. E. Walker of Bartonville, Ont, who very graciously acknow- ledged with a few words. Community singing was then enjoyed and the morning session closed at eleven in order to allow the visiting delegates to visit the plant of the Dryden Paper Co. and an invitation was extended from the Red Cross or- ganization to visit the hospital. Afternoon Session Mrs. J. W. Walker of Fort Francis presided for the after- noon session and the delegates were officially welcomed to Dry- den by Mayor Dr. P. H. B. Wood. Dr. Wood in his re- marks said without meaning to flatter, "he believed the Instit- ute the greatest power for good in any community, any commun- ity with an active branch should be congratulated and one with- out didn't know what it was missing." He also mentioned the round-about route some of the delegates had to follow' to get here and hoped by the time there was another convention in Dryden that our town would be more accessible. In closing the mayor extended a warm civis welcome and wished the dele- gates a successful convention. Mrs. Don Maunsell then ren- dered a lovely vocal solo "Little and for an encore "Philosophy," Mrs. Bartlett act- ing as accompanist. = Whos at ult?

McRae, District secretary then read a most in- teresting and comprehensive re- port of last year's convention held at Fort Francis in October. The provincial president, Mrs. Walker of Bartonville was the next speaker... Mrs, Walker's charming personality and her clear knowledge of the Institute work in all its branches makes her indeed an interesting speak- er. Representing Ontario, Mes. Walker attended the Internation- al Conference of Institutes at Belgium last year and her story of the Institute work in this and other European countries was indeed a revelation. Mrs. Carmichael of Kenora gave an amusing reading which was received with much app- lause and an encore demanded. Mrs. Garrity of Fort William was next, her subject being the Federated Board and her ad- dress on this subject was most informative and plainly showed the advantages of this body. One of its achievements was having rural girls included in the free trip to the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto. The teaching of music in rural schools was urg- ed by the Federated Board con- cluded Mrs. Garrity. Esther Nelson of Dyment then favoured with a splendid recita- tion. One of the outstanding items of the first days program, was the address given by Mrs. J. P. Earngey of Kenora on the Moth- er's Allowance Act. Mrs. Earn- gey's position on the Board in Kenora and her clear insight in- to the whole act made her add- ress one of profound interest, and the information she gave was indeed helpful and enlight- ening. A hearty vote of thanks was given Mrs. Earngey. Community singing closed the afternoon session following which the delegates were the guests of the Dryden W. I. at a chicken supper in St. Lukes Parish Hall. Evening Session Mrs. J. Garrity of Fort Wil- liam presided for the evening session. A splendid paper on Historical Research "A Brief History of Thunder Bay Distriet,"" by Mrs. Dell Gratton of Port Arthur was read by Mrs. D. B. Fraser of Port Arthur. A delightful quartette 'Come 'Where My Love Lies Dreaming' was rendered by Messrs White- ley and Howes and Mesdames Hamilton and Bartlett, Mr. H. Gammon accompanied this num- ber. Dr. Morison, M.O.H. of Dry- den addressed the gathering on public health work. Starting with the struggle science had al- ways had, Dr. Morison went on to say that medical men still have difficulty in convincing the public mind of new discoveries in the way of preventative medi- cine and immunization in the form of vaccination and inocula- tion, and as public health cannot progress ahead of the public miné, he urged to the members of the W. I. to do all they could to enlighten all with whom they came in contact. The doe- tor went on to say that he knew of no better media for the spread of intelligent information than this organization. They could also do invaluable work in less- ening maternal mortality by ur- ging pre-natal care whenever they had the opportunity. The doctor's address was re- ceived with hearty applause. Mrs. Bartlett favoured with two piano solos in her usual brilliant style and Mrs. J. W. Howes was most pleasing in a vocal solo "Sleepy Time Song." Another number by the quar- tette was heartily received. The evening session of the first day closed with a social evening, the members of the Dryden W. I. acting as hostesses. The following registered from outside points: Thunder Bay--Mrs. T. Daley, Dis. Seey., Fort William, Mrs. W. J. Hicks, Mrs. J. Cooper. Mrs. L. Garrity, Miss A. E. Brulotte Fort William; Mrs. R. J.

EXTRACTS OF MESSAGE AT BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT-- 'HOME SWEET 3 HOME' The great super-structure of our civilization rests upon three great foundational stones; the Church, the School, and the Home. No one will dispute the fact, that the Home is the most important of the three, and fue- ther more the Home is the vie- tim of an organized assault to destroy its sanctity, turning it into nothing more than a cheap hotel, or rooming house, where the family eats and sleeps when convenient. If not corrected there remains nothing hut the collapse of western civilization, for no Nation can long endure when the foundation is being dynamited. Let us have a heart to heart talk about our homes, and home life and fortify ourselves against those destructive agencies. The Christian Home is the bul. wark against sin of all deserip-! tion. Our home can either he Heaven on earth, or hell on earth. God meant it to be the former, for it was He who in- stituted the first home. '"And (God sald, let us make man in our own Iimage."" Again God speaks, 'It 1s not good for man to live alone; 1 will make a help mate for him."" So God took a rib from Adam's side, and form- ed a woman and presented her to man.
