Central Ontario Area Women's Institutes Fifty-First Convention Report, Held Nov. 4, 5, 6-- THEME--The Highway of Interest leads to Healthful Relaxation. The Chairman, Mrs. Snider, Wes- ton, opened the Convention with Oh! Canada! The Institute Ode; Mary Stewart Collect; and The Lord's Pra- yer. Mrs. J. E. Houck, F. W. L 0. of Brampton, conducted a discussion period on "Problems of the Institute". Mrs. Houck stressed -- The. Institute was organized for Adult Education-- not for raising money. Objective: I To Stimulate leadership. II To help women aequire sound and approved practises for greater home efficiency, To develop a- more abundant III life in our rural commumities, to de- velop better, happier and more useful citizens, His Worship Mayor Allan Lamport gave us a civic welcome -- 'Mrs. N. White, Brooklin, past chairman, ably replied. ; The Minister of Health for Ontario, Dr. McKinnon Phillips spoke to us on that dreaded disease "Polio", He predicted that science will, the not too distant future, develop a vaccine to eliminate "poliomyelitis", More immediate hope he said, is the promise of researchers, that an anti- polio toxoid, which could be adminis- tered similarly to that for whooping cough, may be available within the next two 'or three years, Gamma Globulin, the latest wonder drug, Dr, Phillips termed as "imprac- tical", but the best combative method we have at present. Another impor. tant drawback is that gamma globu- lin is only potent for a period of three to six weeks, and is of no value af- ter patient has developed a high tem- perature and stiff neck. As a preventative he advised wash- ing all fruits, wrap all garbage, and exterminate the flies. In closing he gave us, the following | advice for good health. Once a day, do the following: (1) In the morning, put on a dun, ces cap, sit in the corner and worry for fifteen minutes, then STOP. (2) Collapse physically. Let go every muscle in the body. - (3) Drain the mind of all irrita- tion, hatred, resentment, disappoint- ments, ete. Think of a restful scene, a quiet brook, anything beautiful you've enjoyed. (4) Turn to God, three time a day. Lift your eyes unto the hills. It fills you with peace. Two solos by Mrs. Watson (Peel North) were much enjoyed. Mrs, Reddick reported on. Agricul- ture and Canadian Industries. Eight- een Districts reported, Two hundred and twenty two branches reported. Agriculture is the very life-blood of the world. All life-plant, animal and man, depend upon the sofl for earthly existence--our relation to the soll is n|a moral ohe, and we, to whom it is entrusted, must answer at the day of judgment as to our stewardship. It matters not if it be 6 hundred acres, one hundred acres, a market garden, or only our back yard--it is ours In trust--to develop its resources, and to pass it on producing an hundred fold. One branch used as its motto, the question, "What hast-thou done with the land I gave thee?" Could anything be more apt? If people could only realize how fortunate we are to he living in this wonderful country of ours, I am, sure there would be an awakening, and co-operation of Gov- ernments, farm groups, cultural and economic groups bent on preserving for us this way of life we are striv- ing so feebly to maintain. veral communities; that they, axe, se- tisfied with nothing less "fall participation in every worthwhi le co- operative project; that-they are eager to: improve themselves, and:te. reach out to those: leas fortunate, and share their knowledge and material assets. _ It is interesting to note the increase in talks, discussions, and*demonstra- tions that tend to develop self-confi- dence and greater-'efficiency; I am convinced rural: women: are well ip- formed and need never feel: inferior to their city cousins, Have a pro- found respect for one's job and one self. : Only as agriculture foviislics can industry continue: to expand: - Oyr Institute women are keenly-interested.|: in all the new industrial products, and many papers and talks were prepared on such subjects as nylon; orlon, cel- lophane, plastic, aluminum, uraniur, | soap detergents, etc. 'Trips:to:indus- trial plants are very-educational and create a better understanding: and more intimate relationship between producer and consumer.
