20 ALBERTA WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
Poplar Ridge Institute, - when they organized, asked to be placed in the Red
Deer Centre Constituency instead of the Red Deer West Constituency, as this
was in line and near their other activities. This request was granted.
The Council also gave its approval to the Kinsella and Viking Institutes
being transferred from the Sedgewick to the Wainwright Constituency.
Lochearn Women's Institute asked to have its name changed to the Rocky
Mountain House Women's Institute, as the former name was unsatisfactory, in
that it was not indicative of address and lacked the historical interest that Rocky
Mountain House gave them. Their resolution was adopted and the change of
name granted.
Arrangements were made for the 1937 Conference and it was thought advisable
to begin work on the histor}- of the Alberta Women's Institutes, before
those on in years, who had taken part in the early Institutes, passed on. Mrs.
Montgomerv and Mrs. Rogers were asked to undertake the task of writing the
history.
Mrs. H. W. Riley, of the Child and Family Welfare Council, asked that each
Provincial Women's Organization send three representatives to a meeting called
in Calgary on September 25th to form a Women's Federation, to strengthen the
petitions of the women that were to be sent to the government.
The Council appointed Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Stout to
represent the Alberta Women's Institutes at this meeting.
A Federation of Women was formed and an outline adopted. This will be
later presented for your endorsation or rejection.
There are at present 36 Constituencies in the Province and 262 Institutes.
Since the last Convention six Branches, Atlee, Brooksley, Chancellor, McHendry
and Whitemud have disbanded. Blackfalds became a Community Club. Arthur-ville-
Paulson also disbanded.
Three branches have reorganized. They are: Stoneyhurst at Alsask, May
50th. 1935; Uneeda at Elk Point, on June 19th, 1936, and Reid Hill, on December
10th, 1936.
There are fourteen new Institutes. They are as follows, with the date of
organization:
Dartique, at Cochrane on June 1st, 1935.
Alida, at Vegreville on September 17th, 1935.
Poplar Ridge, at Red Deer on October 12th, 1935.
