A Prayer Heavenly Father, we are gathered here to- day, on this our 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Women‘s Institute. We look back with pride on the many things we have accomplished, among them the Scholarships to students. We will never know what impact these have made on our young people; nor the influence it has had on their life. ’ We look back too, at the many times we have gathered together in small groups, the cooking classes, the Arts and Crafts group. We touched one another and were richer for it. We remember too, those members who have passed on, but have left behind many deeds, thoughts and kindnesses, never to be forgotten. We thank Thee that our Sister Institutes are here with us today. They too must look back with pride on their accomplishments. Our Motto, For Home and Country, should be a vital part in our living today. Never in the his- tory of our organization has it been needed so much. Our homes should be a place of peace and understanding, and 0 Lord let us carry At the 75th Anniversary _ tram left ~ The Honourable w. A. Stewart, Mrs. Harvey Noblilt, Mrs. .
