Conference were presented at the opening ceremonies, it was the youngest delegate at the conference, sixteen-year-old Joyce Morrison of Scotland who carried the Canadian flag. Miss Kathryn Farmer of Combermere, came to know Miss Morrison perâ€" sonally as they stayed in the same college resi- dence during the conference; and when Miss Farmer came home and gave a report of the con- ference at the South Renfrew District Executive meeting she suggested that the District with its Scottish named branches, Arnprior, Braeside, Burnstown, Lochurnnoch. Glasgow, and its just- as-Scottish people. send a gift to Joyce. So South Renfrew sent her a maple leaf pin and ear rings.

She wrote to the District President: “I must thank you very, very much for the lovely present your Institutes sent me. It was vefry kind of you all to send me such a beautiful gt t. "I was very pleased that I was carrying the Canadian flag because I have an uncle who lives in Kingston, Ontario and he was over here on holidays while I was in Edinburgh and was so proud that his niece was carrying the Canadian flag.

I will be very proud showmg my gift to the members of our Institute.” First Institute in Britain ILLIER INSTITUTE in Prince Edward County has the distinction of having in its membership a woman from Wales, Mrs. H.
