The supervisor says: "We wish to express our great appreciation " the assistance coming from the girls and women of the East Simcoe Institutes.

The Western Ontario convenor writes th.at they eo-operate with the Chatham Rotary Club to have a little girl, whose limbs were deformed be.. cause of malnutrition during the war, sent down to the Sick Children's Hos- pital in Toronto for treatment. This promises completely smtisfaetory re- sults. Much quiet help which, for obvious reasons, cannot be reported in detail. is being given to needy new Canadians by individual Branches. In one case in Central Ontario, tho Institutes co- operate with the municipal authorities in tiding over a deserted mother and her four children until the deserting husband can be declared offieial1, dead, and she becomes eligible for the Mother's Pension. In another, a nurse was secured for n mother who, without this prompt assistance, would have in alt likeli- hood lost her life. From the chairman of the Sault Me. M aria convention committee comes the practical suggestion: "Begin by Can- adianizing the hired man." in our community and she has just joined our Institute. We are co-oper- ating with the Dept. of Immigration and Colonization in securing homes for about 30 boys, most of whom are mak.. ing good. A number are in the homes of Institute members. We have been trying to get some girls, but so far without results. I would suggest that each member do what she can to make our newcomers understand our Can- adian life and methods of working. If we each do what is nearest us, the work will be aeeomplirhed." The adoption of children by-indi, vidual members also continues. and a friendly interest is displayed in the health and education of children from the various institution's.

If the ball slips from between his knees, he must pick it up and begin his hopping where he ieft off. When the "kangaroo" has hopped up to the rear of his "peg," he may take the ball in his hands and run from the "peg" back to the front of his relay line, where he takes his place as the front man, passing the ball back through the "try.ey" to the man who is then the rear man, and so on until the last has run. more than eight is the best.

Under this plan the services of the Land Settlement Branch will be available at all times, to assist the newcomers to success, but it is quite possible that the local Wo- menu Institute would vo-operate with the District Offiee of the Land Set- tlement Branch in a valuable way in the direction of welfare work, once the newcomers are established. In the opinion of thoughtful people, the most veluable immigrants and thote requiring the greatest amount' of attention and help, are still the ones who come to Ontario via the Canadian cradle. Consequently, r y for the chief, concern of the members, judging from, branch, district, and convention to, portspis to secure the but results in tlA feeding, clothing. hauling and education of Canada's native born h) their own home- and commodities.

' The Ontario Hostel Committee re- ceives the young women coming in for domestic service under government di.. rection. Almost none of these go to, or if they do, stay in the country. It might be worth while for the Insti- tutes to make a study of the causes of this the coming year and present to the chairman a schedule of what wages the average country housekeep- er who desired help would be able to pay. In discussing this matter with a member of the British delegation, which under Miss Margaret Bondfkrld, M.P., visited Canadun an investigat- ing tour of conditions, the suggestion was brought forward for considers-1 tion by the Institutes, that little girls»! young enough for adoption, be select-3 ed in Britain and gent to approved) country homes here. Your committee; would commend this to your thought-', ful attention, and discussion. I It would be impossible to tell of all the large-hearted and truly patirotie work being done along immigration lines, but these few examples will suf- fiee to show the trend of Branch activity during the your. The members, too, continue to show tangible evidence that they are not forgetting our disabled soldiers in their various institutions. "Tho Institutes have been very helpful in my work," said a police Woman and immigration officer at the Sault in n Northern Convention, “especially in the follow-up and wel- fare work." Kies. The Junior Inrtitute layettes and other gifts have Dion a wonderful help. Quilts and other bedding are still needed and may be sent direct to Miss Orton, Home Branch of S.S.B., 32 Adelaide St. East, Toronto, for distribution.

He did not see at the beginning {that the salvation of Christ was intended, not merely for the Jews, but for the wider world.
