Presidenl, Mrs. Aruti Dutt, A.C.W.W_ past presidenl, PENN IES FOR FRIENDSHIP By Mrs. Mungo Barr, Honourary Treasurer "1 want to express my warmest appreciation and thanks for your increased support f0r Pen- nies for Friendship during the last Triennium. the total for the three years has amounted to £92.332.90 (322159896) which is a mag- nificent effort on everyone‘s part. “For Triennial periods delegates in Confer- ence have always courageously accepted a budget of expenditure far in excess of esti- mated receipts (and this coming one is, I someâ€" times think, frightening) but up to the present time this policy has been fully justified by the increased support so readily given. “I, as Honorary Treasurer, the Finance Committee, the General Purposes Committee and the Council do all we possibly can to maintain and increase our financial strength but we are dependent ultimately on the efforts of every individual member of both our Socie- ties and of A.C.W.W. itself for the money re- quired to keep us in a strong financial posi- tion. “Today, with so much inflation, unrest and instability, one becomes very fearful for the future but knowing the very excellent support you have given in the past I am confident that with our united greater efforts the objects of A.C.W.W. and its influence will become even more widely knowu and felt around the world.“ it i * God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason. â€"â€"- Dag Hammarskjold at i i' EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ELECTED Deputy World Presidents Dr. Irene Spry Canada After graduation from Cambridge Universi- ty, England and Bryn Mawr College, U.G,G.
