a: all It A PRAYER FOR EVERY DAY Dear God, give us strength to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed. Give us courage to change the things that can and should be changed. And give us wisdom to distinguish one from the other. i t it houses for the groups. In every country wom- en raise money for this, but in Greenland the need is especially urgent because of the sealskin work. You see, the pelts have to be prepared before they can be used. They have to be scraped and then made supple by chew- ing them, and working them with the fingers. Up till now, this work has been done in the home, but the members of the Husmoderfore- ningen are beginning to draw the line at this. The skins are messy and can be very smelly, and they feel strongly that they need a room where they can all work the skins, They are prepared to hold their meetings in the room, but the time has come when they feel the sealskins should be kept outside the home. As a result of this every group last winter was knitting madly, to raise money for their club- house. Trouble is, Greenland doesn’t have many sheep, so there isn't much wool, but the parent societies in Denmark have sent them some knitting wool, which has been a great help. I have a great deal of admiration for those Greenland women. They don't let the diffi- culties and hardships of the arctic north get them down, They are fine craftsmen, they sing beautifully, they are poets and painters. They are a long way away from any other countrywomen‘s society, but they are tremen- dously interested in what all the rest of us are doing. This month (August) they are sending a delegation to the Northern Housewives’ meeting in Denmark, the great annual meet- ing of countrywomen from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. I hope that one day they will send a delegation to an A.C.W.W. Triennial. I want to meet them myself, Suggesllons For Conventions I‘Vrnnl “Reports of Meetings" Union Hall says: “We are not in favor of fashion shows at conventions.
