Clan: plans to continue her education in the Home Economics field. " UMMER 1951 The '- Pres ident’s Corner Mrs. James Hoggerly, President, F.W.|.O. Oificers’ Conference, under my direc- tion are over, and were very success- ful due to the complete coâ€"operation of the Board Directors, the Conference Secretary. the Director of the Home Economics Service, the Provincial Secretary and all with whom I worked during the past months since coming into oflice. As I looked into the faces of approximately 800 delegates at the Oflicers’ Conference I felt a bit like the “ Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe," with this difference, these children were well-behaved and knew exactly What they wanted to do, even if I weren‘t always sure. MY FIRST Provincial Board Meeting and The Sixtieth Anniversary Celebrations have demonstrated the ability and capabilities of our Institute members and have been a means of drawing together branches and districts, to work as teams to commemorate an important Occasion. It has been gratifying to me to visit these celebrations and find all branches of a district in attendance, each sharing in the programme and responsibility; in some cases. two or more districts combining their celebra- tions. This year has been more than a Diam- ond Jubilee â€" it has been a year of team work, unity and friendly relations. If Adelaide Hoodless and Erland Lee were looking down, in spirit, on these celebrations of their pioneer adventure, they may well say “Well done our good and faithful children!" I would ask you to continue, in the reâ€" mainder of the year, the same friendliness, unselfishness and consideration for one an- ther and the keen interest you have already shown in the future development and progress of the Women’s Institutes. With the World Conference in progress, let us join together in extending best wishes for a successful meeting, for farâ€"reaching results, for selfless devotion to a common cause. May more peaceful relations for the whole world be established because of this Conference and let us pray together for a safe and happy trip for all of our people who are representing us at Ceylon. I wish for each Women’s Institute member new and soulâ€"satisfying “Adventures in Liv~ ing.” Annie G. Haggerty 5
