the many phases of the Women's Institute work, and have accomplished very
much indeed, b r i g h t e n i n g the lives of others in their homes, in their communities,
and in religious o u t l o o k on life. They have helped the educational
as w e l l as the social side by t r y i n g to Canadianize the foreign elements in the
r u r a l districts ( and they seem to predominate in the south) to a great extent,
and it is wonderful what has been done i n ' brightening and c a r i n g for cemeteries,
planting trees and caring for them after they are planted, which is a
great item. It is c e r t a i n l y becoming a Sunshine t r a i l in earnest.
We have some very good earnest, energetic workers in our G i r l s ' Clubs,
and they are doing good work, and all W . I . members should help them all
they can, as we hope they w i l l be our future W. I. workers.
I am very proud of the Constituency Conveners in Southern A l b e r t a , and
only those attending the Southern D i s t r i c t Conference can realize the work
that has been done, by h e a r i n g the reports f r om the Constituencies. You w i l l,
I know, understand how I regret that my term of office is ended, but hope
my successor w i l l c a r r y on and get as much happiness and pleasure out of the
w o r k as I have done. In 1921 I went to my first P r o v i n c i a l Convention as
official delegate, in 1922 I was elected Constituency Convener, w h i c h office I
held un'til I was elected D i s t r i c t D i r e c t o r in 1927, re- elected in 1929, and have
attended 69 conferences and conventions without having to miss one through
i l l health, w h i c h is, I think, a great deal to be thankful for.
I n my D i s t r i c t I have 11 Constituencies, v i z .;
Warner—- Constituency Convener, M r s . J . A . Campbell, M i l k R i v e r ; has six
