During (all and the season just before Christmas, when lots of good cooking smells are in the air, it is a good time to remember to buy One tario and Canadian produce. In this way we can support our local fruit and vegetable growers and therefore keep them in production, maintainr ing the wide selection of produce which is available to us. Consider the devalued food dollar if we had to im- port all our fruits and vegetables. Remember to “Shop Canadian". At this time, i would like to welcome two new branches [0 Junior Women‘s institutes, Essex Branch was formed on April 25, 1984 with 10 charter members. Saugeen Branch, near Proton Station, was formed on July 23, 1984 with nine charter members. I extend a warm welcome to these two new branches. Spring meetings were a huge suc- cess again this year. A fun and educa- tional time was enjoyed by everyone who attended. These meetings en- courage JWI members to participate in JWI activities on a smaller scale, thus being less formal. They also pro- vide an opportunity for women to meet members from other branches in their area, promoting unity within the group. I hope to see these meetings continue to prosper in the coming years. A new slate of officers was elected at our annual fall conference in Belleville. They will be encouraging the growth of JWl by increasing the membership and organizing new branches. 1 have enjoyed my year as your J motor Women’s Institutes of Ontario provincial president, I have trzuelled throughout the province ll'xu‘linn many new people at spring mwing: l have spoken to many Womm't in: stitute‘groups on JWl and its‘ from activities.
