In her address to the delegates as provincial president, Mrs. Everett Small commented that the International Bill for Human Rights was put into action twenty years ago in 1948. and that was the year of the first conference for oflieers of the Women's Institutes. “The think- ing of John Donne was perhaps the first move toward man's concern for man,“ Mrs. Small said. “Canada is one of the few nations where. generally, all people have en0ugh to eat. We may owe this fortunate position to our forefa- thers; but. other nations may be looking at us and asking, ‘Who are they that they can be well fed in a starving world?‘ " The president then reviewed some of the projects undertaken by the Women's Institutes â€"support of the organizations in the North- west Territories, Pennies for Friendship, 550.000 raised for the International Scholar- ships for students at the Mysore Institute of Food and Technology. and other similar un- dertakings. With Mrs. Irwin Maltby. pianist and direc- tor of the South Dufferin Women‘s Institute Centennial Choir, at the piano, Dr. W. A, Young led the delegates in community singing. Dr. Young, formerly Chaplain at the Universi- ty of Guelph and now retired and living in Elora. Ontario, held the five hundred women with rapt interest when he addressed them on "Citizenship". * * it: Dr. Young opened his address with this quotation: “I expect to pass through this world hut once; any good thing. therefore that I can do. or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature. let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it. for I shall not pass this way again." "Citizenship." Dr. Young said, “is the art of interdependent living. We are all interdepend- L'nt: we cannot get away from each other. and the good citizen is one who develops skills so that others may depend on him. “The so-called independent is a myth. an il- lusion and a menace. Young people who dc- clare that they are independent are showing callousness. They are parasites. not hearing their responsibilities to society. “The characteristic of a good citizen is that he has the courage to stand up and be count- ed. It takes courage to stand up against the Youth power of today. It takes faith to have ‘Foufage â€" faith in ourselves. in the future and In God.
