In striving to attain the ideals and objectives of the W.I., we
expand. the horizons of thinking, and help ourselves to realize the part we play in building bridges of friendship in our homes, community and the world. Today, more than ever, we need to know more of other people and other lands. The women of today face a challenge of helping create international goodwill and understanding of world problems. There is need of us taking a much larger part in public and world affairs. Too often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things, which we should despise and forget. Perhaps someone we helped has proven ungrateful-someone we believed to be a friend has spoken ill of us, some reward we thought we deserved has been denied us. We feel such disappointment so keenly that we can no longer work or sleep. But isn't that absurd? Here we are on this earth, with only a few more decades to live, and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and everybody else. Let us devote our lives to worthwhile actions and feelings-to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings, for life is too short to be little. We as Members of Branches are co-workers with the A.W.I., the F.W.I.C. and the A.C.W.W. We know the A.C.W.W. is composed of women from all parts of the world, who do much in a united effort to build a better world. It is said, "The reason the big apples are always on top of the basket, is that the little ones are underneath holding them up." We, as individuals in W.I. Branches, are but small apples, yet it takes our support so that the larger of our organizations can be on top doing their work in more extended fields for "Home and Country."
CHAPTER TEN
COMPETITIONS
The fun of competition carries from childhood throughout life. In competitions that have wide scope, like safety, citizenship, projects, community histories and even fairs, there is definite constructive purpose. Competitions within our Branches can be small ones that simply contribute interest and fun for meetings. The awards may be jUst the knowledge of having given pleasure and may be a prize not much more than a lollypop, silly toy or a bar of soap. From Australia, New Zealand and England, we have reports of a variety of competitions running through the year, with points (5, 3 and 1) 38
