is the greatest challenge. It always has been. It always will be. In the atomlc age, and in whatever marvels the earth may see to follow, women may stand in the speaker's rostrum and many times change the course of historyâ€"but that new world will fall to hopeless ruins un- less its women stand firm, staunch and reso- lute â€" the courageous, loving, never-faltering guardian of the home."

I As usual, the smooth running, happy at- mosphere of the conference owed a great deal to the college staffâ€"the Public Relations per- sonnel who arranged a bus ride around the college premises, tours through Macdonald Inâ€" stitute, movies and games in Memorial Hall-â€" F.W_I.O. Board Members were guides and hostesses here too: the Publicity staff, always on hand to take photographs or negotiate with the press; Ralph and Edith Kidd, college musi- cians who gave what amounted to a piano and organ recital each day; and Padre Young, always well loved as a song leader and this year appreciated still more for his morning devotions. Institute members provided entertainment features too. The hard-worked, always smil- ing conference secretary, Mrs. Loren Guild, found time to write and direct an amusing skit, “The Institute Entertains.” Members of West End Institute gave a fine harmony demonstra- tion in “Finlandia,” “Go Down Moses,” and “Oh What a Beautiful Morning." And the “Good Will Songsters" of Beaverton Institute in their “Old Family Album" contributed a delightful evening’s program. This year the conference was for Branch In- Stitute Presidentsâ€"the half of the Presidents of the province who did not come last year. (Only about half of the overâ€"fourteen hundred presidents in the province can be accommo- dated at the College at one time.) For the next two years the Officers’ Conference will be for Branch Secretaries. k ‘k * 1k 'k t i * HAD HE BUT KNOWN!
