Brougham _Corr., Mrs M. Annis -- On the afternoon of Wednesday, the seventh of December, delegates from the Women's Institutes of South On- tario District met in the Pickering Township Museum for the purpose of procuring pictures to be sent to the Dominion Convention next June. They will be part of the Canadian panorama. from -the- Central Area; after which they will be kept in the home office for reference. The arrangements for this meeting were made by Mrs. T. Wheeler of Pickering, the public Relations con- vener for Ontario South, What better place could the ladies meet since the Women's Institutes 'have been instrumental for a num- ber of years. in preserving the local history of Canada. During the afternoon it was very interesting to note that a goodly num- ber of the ladies found relics which had been donated or loaned by mem- bers of their own families. . This was understandable as six of the insti- tutes represented are located within Pickering Township itself. whole district found interest which took them back in memory, Remarks as "My Grandmother had one of those" or "There used to be one of those in the back shed" were not uncommon. if During the course of the afternoon | three items of general use, in former years were -put on display. A contest conducted by the directors of the museum board, to see how many could identify the objects. Three people |" named all three correctly. This gives a good indication of how necessary it is to preserve these old historic items. The ladies inspected a log cabin which is located to the rear of the old school, which is used for the museum building proper. Brimley Road and Shepherd Avenue was moved intact on floats, about a year ago. This last. summer it was put on a foundation and was in the process of getting a new roof when the ladies saw it. This cabin was built about 1820, The museum (an old school) was built fn 1859 and was in use as a Sasereen until the fall of 1069.

Sec' Trea zlorng McCoy, | 0f Many Things by Ambrose Hills THE SCOCIAL WORKER - This morning 1 chatted with an elderly woman who has been doing social work all her life. She is one of the finest persons I have ever met, and I think she told me something that is of great value to everyone. "Just about every person wanting help,"she said, "would sit across from me and tell me of this problem or that one--unpaid rent, unsatisfactory job, illness, all sorts of immediate things to worry about. "T used to listen to it all, but in the those things was the key problem, I know in my own heart that the per- son had a bigger trouble somewhere inside, and that if he or she would face it and solve it, the other things would look after themselves--even the health problem, believe 'it or not." She went on to say that she had once heard William Faulkner talking to fellow authors. He told them, she | recalled, that "the problem of the human heart in conflict with itself alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat." She said that this struck her as be- ing so very true. "I could have paid the rent for some of these unfortu- nates," she told me, "or 'even pro-| vided a better job, or obtained medi- cal advice 'for them. But the thing. 1 | carriage, the shine in her eyes, the '| can offer and transform { 1 knew I had to do if my help was to be of any lasting value was to get across to-them that fact that their first and most vital problem was with- in themselves, They needed to win some sort of inner fight in order to be real men and women with character and strength, Otherwise, all their days and years would go by with others having to straighten this or that out for them. But if they could win the inner tsruggle, it would not be too long before they would be standing on their own feet, helping others instead of needing help." I have repeated what this social worker said as best I can, She is a - woman who faced great personal pro- blems herself and the fact that she licked them is appareent in her very assurance in her voice, She has made her own living and helped many others for a great part. of her more than seventy years. She earns a good in- 'come today, and recently won a val-- uable award for her services in com- petition with hundreds *€ younger women.
