HISTORY SUPPLEMENT OF THE ALBERTA WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That our membership dues be raised from $ 2.00 per year to $ 3.00
per year.
Because of the drastic rise in venereal disease among our
young people, we recommend that our branches undertake to
study and alert our communities to the seriousness of this problem
by use of films and educational talks.
A. W. I. CONVENTION — UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON
JUNE 3- 6, 1969
THEME: " 60th ANNIVERSARY"
PRESIDENT: MRS. JOSEPH BIELISH
The " Get Acquainted Party" was held in ' The Ship' at Lister
Hall. Mrs. James Melnyk lead the Sing- Song, accompanied by Mrs.
A. Huse at the piano, both veterans of A. W. I. Conventions.
Mrs. Vera Macdonald, Supervisor of the Home Economics
Branch, Department of Agriculture officially opened the competitive
display of handicrafts.
For the first time there was a sale of homemade articles to help
defray the cost of the Convention.
The Convention was honored to have Past Presidents Mrs. J. P.
Ferguson; Mrs. T. H. Howes and Mrs. M. G. Roberts in attendance.
SPEAKERS:
Mrs. George Clarke of St. John's, Newfoundland, President of
the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada, was a special guest.
" Members are the life blood of an organization and team work is
what makes it strong" Mrs. Clarke said.
She compared the many phases of Institute work to a corridor
with many doors. Behind these are opportunities — all kinds of
opportunities, if we just open them.
Mr. Wayne Lamble, Agricultural Supervisor, Department of
Extension, chaired a Symposium on " Meeting the Challenge of
Change" with four experts in Economics, Family Living, Culture,
Agriculture. Some changes in our way of life, shorter working hours,
more women leaving homes, farmers leaving the land. These
changes put strains on ourselves, our families and our society. Bas-cially
the needs of people remain the same and they must be met.
That is the Challenge.
Miss Sheila Begg, winner of the A. W. I. Centennial Scholarship
was Guest Speaker after the banquet. She spoke of her social work
" Keep us, O Lord, from pettiness and let us be done with faultfinding",
and said in social work the A. W. I. Creed is most meaningful
and should be used throughout — and " O Lord God, Let us not forget
to be kind".
