Lite MEthrship In cases where a Women’s Institute wishes to honor a member for faithful years of service. but probably has not been a continuous mem- ber for the 25 years to qualify for the Branch life membership, it has been suggested that other suitable recognition might be given. The Women‘s Institute cup and saucer, the Ontario WI Story, one year Contributing membership in A.C.W.W., a 5 years membership. or maybe a life membership in Associated Countrywomen of the World for $60.00. All these could be considered a suitable memento. The 75th Anniversary Video Tape Viewing This tape was shown at MacDonald Instiâ€" tute on Monday evening.
