TWENTIETH PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 39
The Radium Fund is undoubtedly our greatest achievement, and another
achievement which must not be overlooked is the linking up with overseas
Institutes and visits from overseas members. Then there is the revelation of
hidden talent amongst Women's Institute members. Some are literary, and
others sing and play— think of those shy women, who when they first came to
Institute meetings were too nervous to answer the roll call and who now speak
fluently, some of them almost eloquently, on varied subjects and debates. Others
reveal artistry in floral and needle work and other handicrafts. They put their
fingers on the weak spots of an argument and they take a lively interest in
the welfare of their country, waking up to a knowledge of the immense power
of women united.
In conclusion, I should like to repeat a little poem printed in the year book
of Alaska Women's Clubs:
INTO T H E L I G HT
What is the sound of marching feet?
What is the song the wind is bringing?
' Tis women singing, marching down the years,
And this is the song they are singing:
" We've suffered the heat of the battle,
And love has lightened the burden,
We have tended the hearth- fires well;
Into the light we are marching on,
Breaking the way for those who follow."
Women marching, singing through their tears.
" And if there's a path we will take it,
And if there's no path we will make it."
The world's work is women's work,
And home is all the world.
