for the annual meeting. Most of the time is reserved for business but there will be a motto, “Let’s make good members better and more members interested.” The May program deals with A.C.W.W. The main topic is not given but the roll call is, “Name a country where a constituent society holds membership in A.C.W.W.” and the motto: “Let us realize that A.C.W.W. is an organization emanating fair- ness, kindness and understanding.” More Thoughts on Programs RS. JOHN DORKINGS, P.R.O. for M Price’s Corner Institute writes: “We would like to report some of the high- lights of our year’s program as some of them might offer suggestions to other Institutes. “We all enjoy the mottoes and we have had some very good ones. These were ‘Kindness is one thing you cannot give away; it always comes back.’ ‘It is alright to pray for a good crop but keep on hOeing.‘ ‘Take time to read: it is the fountain of wisdom’, and ‘It is alright to use friendship as a drawing account but don’t forget your deposit.’ “Some of our roll calls were ‘Name a flower found in the Bible’, ‘Make a hat using garden vegetables and wear it.‘ We had quite a fash- ion parade. ‘Pay two cents for each foot of your height'. (The money realized was added to our fund for sunshine work.) ‘A New Cana- dian recipe I tried and enjoyed’. “Our programs, too, have been most helpâ€" ful. One was an address on the propagation of plants, shrubs and seeds by one of our Orillia druggists who is a great horticulturist. Another extremely interesting program was when we had another guest Speaker whose hobby is antiques and who has a wonderful ‘Journal’ which was kept by his grandmother from the time she and her family arrived in Canada from the Old Country. We had a lady doctor from Orillia at another meeting who spoke on ‘The Care of Foods in Summer â€" Especially Frozen Foods‘. Just recently We had a guest speaker who is assistant manager of a meat firm in Kitchener. “We also have had some very interesting programs prepared by our members: and we like the opportunity the Institute gives us to meet with our friends and neighbors. We enâ€" joyed exchange visits with other Institutes this year and a number of tours. We took in Simâ€" coe County Quilt, Rug and Craft Fair and had several other trips. These tours We use as our annual ‘family picnics'. We take picnic lunches and really enjoy ourselves. We do community Work too, such as quilt- ing, giving food, clothing, etc. to people in our communities who have suffered loss by fire, 24 death or illness. We believe in the sziving ‘Charity begins at home’, thus living up ..,’ [he ‘Home‘ part of our motto “For Homt and Country’.
