Mrs. Austin Zoeller, President, brought greetings from the Federated Women’s Insti- tutes of Ontario. A11 went away with a clearer outlook on the reorganized Junior Women‘s Institute so capably explained by Miss Sylvia Shaw. Mrs. Gerald Holder‘s informative talk on the formation and framework of F.W.I.O. in- terested all. Everyone was able to express their creative ideas either by making bows, demonstrated by Miss Doreen Harrop. or by covering bottles with tissue paper, demonstrated by Miss Rob- erta Shaw. The enjoyable break added a light touch to the day’s agenda. The day ended with an Officers‘ Workshop capably led by three energetic Institute memâ€" bers. Leading the President‘s Workshop was Miss Helen Shaw. Mrs. Alex Connell led the Secretary-Treasurers’ Workshop. The Public Relations Workshop was led by Mrs. Clarence Diamond. Here was a good example of both Senior and Junior Women’s Institute members working together in a combined interest of one organization.
