IODE news, views... by M. Gilbert The service given by IODE Kitchewana Chapter members continues to be effective because it always has been aware of the needs of the day and are proud of our ability to help fill those needs. The two principal areas of interest for IODE's support are Services and Education. Participation in both areas are at National, Provincial and local levels. Our contribution to the Labrador Fund aided in supplying a feeding program of milk and nutritious snacks for school children in Labrador. The service was available to 1,000 children at a cost of $10 per child. This makes the year's goal $10,000 at the National level. Kitchewana's Services Secretary, Mrs. Doris Henley, makes two shipments.a year to the Provincial distribution centre of hand knitted garments, layettes, warm winter clothing and toys which- are made or donated by members. The Chapter is also aware of community welfare needs and is always ready to respond to emergency requests. Scholarships awarded by Provincial IODE throughout Ontario are funded largely by Chapter donations. Kitchewana Chapter is pleased to assist Education locally by yearly contributions to M.S.S. Scholarship Fund. Another of our interests is our support to the Midland Music Festival each year. For many years an annual History prize has been given to the graduating class of each of six Midland Elementary Schools. The Prize is now named "The Ethel Wagg Memorial History Prize" and was won in 1981 by the following pupils. Susan Fancy of Regent School, Nathalia Leitch of Park- view School, Malcolm Thornton of Huron Park School, Mike Gadsby of Bayview School, Elizabeth Bourgeois of Monsignor Castex School, Paula Denis of Sacred Heart School.
