Uw, Fairview. E r i n Lodge and a newly organized branch at Mines Creek,
The total membership is 154, During the past year, Peace River, Bcrwyn and
F a i r v i ew have been active in supporting their local hospitals. Programs of
branches show a study of W. I. w o r k along the lines suggested by the Conveners
of Standing Committees and all branches have done a great deal of
relief work among needy families. The conference was held in July at
B c r w y n with an attendance of 35 and all branches represented.
Grand? P r a i r i e Constituency, Mrs. Gillespie. V a l h a l l a , Convener, has twelve
branches. Grande P r a i r i e . Wembley. Sexsmtth, Rio Grande, HuaUen. V a l h a l l a,
Hermit L i k e . Beaverlodge. McHendry. Mjllarston, East Glen and Be Hoy.
F l y i n g Shot and E q u i t y have disbanded but East Glen has been organized in
the district east of Grande P r a i r i e with an enrolment of 17 members at their
" oeninjf meeting. This district also plans a G i r l s ' Club. Bellny has reorganized
after being do- mant for some time. At the conference held in Sexsmith, 100
were in attendance. A l l branches were represented and gave most encouragi
n g reports of activities in hospital, welfare work, school and community
a c t i v i t i e s.
Baby Clinics and Home N u r s i n g lectures were held throughout the entire
d i s t r i c t.
In July, the first district conference was held at F a i r v i e w . The weather
wa4 more kind this year than Ust and Mrs. Montgomery was able to get a
m c e favorable impression of the north. Unfortunately for us, we clashed
in date with the Chatauqua and the New Outlook special train so that the
attendance was very small. But we were not discouraged and planned a
second conference this year. However, w i t h the existing economic conditions,
it has been decided to cancel this until finances arc better.
Much better rcDorts have been received this year from the branches and
I must thank the Conveners and officers who. undaunted by the stress of the
present depression, have upheld the highest ideals of the W . I . and contributed
so much to the success of the work in the district.
