‘k * * BECAUSE OF THY GREAT BOUNTY Grace Noll Crowell Because I have been given much, I, too, shall give: Because of Thy great bounty, Lord, Each day I live I shall divide my gifts from Thee With every brother that I see Who has the need of help from me. Because I have been sheltered, fed. By Thy good care, I cannot see another's lack And I not share My glowing fire, my loaf of bread, My root's shelter overhead, That he, too, may be comforted. Because love has been lavished so Upon me, Lord, A wealth ] know that was not meant For me to hoard, I shall give love to those in need, The cold and hungry clothe and feed, Thus shall I Show my thanks indeed. * it * Resolutions “Resolutions are an important medium of expression for the entire membership of our Institutes but should not be presented without careful study and unless they have some merit worthy of our organization,“ said Mrs. James Haggerty, Convener of Resolutions. Fourteen Areas reported although resolutions were not sent in by all Areas. Results of resolutions passed at the May Meeting of the Board and which had been forwarded to the authorities concerned were given. In reply to the resolution concerning the provision of Nursing Homes, in the Hospitalizâ€" ation Act, a letter had been received from the Department of Public Welfare explaining what is being done through the co-opcration of the government with municipalities. After some discussion regarding bed care in County Homes, it was suggested that branches include this need in any brief presented to the Depart- ment of Health and Welfare. Emergency resolutions presented to the Board included the request that an Agricul- tural Course be included in the program for the new Trade School to be constructed at Sault Ste. Marie. It was felt that boys from this Area should have the opportunity to study the special problems of farming in Northern Ontario. This resolution was approved by the Board. After considerable discussion an emergency resolution directed to the Federal Government and United Nations, protesting Nuclear War or the threat of war as a means of solving world problems, was returned to the Area presenting it with the request that it proceed through the 12 proper channels before being presented at pm vincial level. It was the opinion of the members that the greatest fear is fear itself and that mental attitude, fear and propaganda are far more deadly than any nuclear bomb. Approval was given to the drafting of a resolution to be presented to the Provincial Government asking that the government give consideration to the inclusion of womenhon future Royal Commissions. A resolution asking that the Kempitmc Women’s Institute Holiday be continued. will be dealt With at the May Meeting. An Culling prepared by Mrs. Haggerty, giving guid-nge to the drafting of resolutions, will be set». ,0 all branches.
