The Hon. W. A. Goodfellow. Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Chairman at the conference ban: quet, expressed his satisfaction at the Institutes enthusiasm concerning the conferenceâ€"-1t had been impossible to accommodate one-third of the presidents who wanted to attend. but these would have their opportunity next year. He com‘ plimented the Women's Institutes, too. on the way they continuously bring along new leaders and on the respect they have built up over the province. "You have great influeHCE," the Mm- ister said, “and you have used it wisely." Mr. Goodfellow recalled that a few years ago he had told the Institutes that the Government would welcome their resolutions. Now he felt it would be a good idea if the executive would come to Queen's Park once or twice a year to meet with the officials of the Department of Agriculture and talk over what can best be done for the people of Ontario. Mrs. Lymburner thanked the Minister for mak- ing the conference possible and for other services and courtesies from his Department; and thanked Dr. MacLachlan for the hospitality of the Col- lege. Dr. Geoffrey Secord of Guelph gave an enter- taining and informative address with slides on "Life Among the Eskimos,“ his wife operating the projector. From his own experience as physician and neighbour among the Eskimos and Indians in a community in Baffiniand Dr. Secord gave a convincing picture of the native as “little dif- ferent from anyone else, except for the colour of his skin."

Hart writing as to comment on the article “The Anatomy of Prejudice" in the Winter issue of Home and Country, said: “The Citizenship Branch is offering free sub- scriptions to the magazine ‘Citizen' to Women’s Institute conveners of Citizenship and Education across Canada who apply, sending name and ad- dress on an enclosed form. This should be a great help as well as of interest to conveners. “To take advantage of the introduction of the magazine we are recommending a programme in which articles from Citizen can be usedâ€"hence the choice of ‘Let‘s Take a Look at Prejudice‘. Along with this the film ‘A Day in the Night of Jonathan Mole‘ and, or, "The High Wall’ is recommended." C.A.C.
