Dear Friends,
It hardly seems possible that the Tlianksgiviiig and Halloween activities have passed and we
are now looking forward to the Christmas Season. We have had a busy fall with the many Women's
Institute Celebrations: the 85th Anniversary Celebration of the Stony Plain Branch and the 65th
Anniversary Celebration of the Leslieville Branch. Both activities I had the pleasure of attending.
It was also a delight to attend the 60th Wedding Anniversary of Kay and George McMillan.
Kay was the AWI Secretary- Treasurer for many years, and George has been a tireless volunteer for
AWI activities too. Many more of you will have had celebrations, so we hope that they were
everything that you could wish for.
We also have welcome news that we have a new branch at Youngstown It is
Prairie Rose Branch
c/ o Margaret Twa
Box 278
Youngstown, Alberta T0J3P0
Thank everyone for contributing to the office fund. We appreciate and gratefully
acknowledge your support. This issue of Home and Country is full, so therefore the Memorial
Donations will be included in the next issue of Home and Country.
Do not forget that we will be marking the 90* Anniversary of AWI at the June Conventioa
Convention dates are Jane 9 and 10 at Olds College, Olds, Alberta. Because this is a very special
occasion, we want everyone to have a place and an information package. Therefore, we will again
be asking for your help and cooperation by Registering in Advance. Details will follow in the next
mail- out.
Although the month of October 1998 has passed, we do not want to forget that it was
Women's History Month. This designation rerninds us all of the contribution the Famous Five made
to the advancement of women in society.
Led by Emily Murphy, the first female magistrate in the British
Commonwealth, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene
Parlby and Henrietta Edwards, challenged the Supreme Court of
Canada to assert that women were persons. The women lost. They
then appealed to the British Privy Council The Council described
the exclusion of women as " a relic of days more barbarous than
ours" and overturned the Canadian decision. On October 18,1929,
Canadian Women became " persons."
