In studying the reports of the different Conveners, three of whom were
new last year, I find good progress is being made along each and every branch
of our work. Dues are paid more promptly, better and more regular reports
are being sent in, and a general feeling of optimism prevails throughout the
District.
We have lost three Branches, and these were not the tender annuals
spoken about in our report last year, but three of our perennials, who from
force of circumstances have disbanded. We hope that some of the roots may
be left, and will in due time send up new shoots which will blossom even more
profusely than the parent stock.
Two new ones have sprung up in different places, and are in a very
t h r i v i n g condition.
Last year we again presented the $ 50.00 Scholarship to Miss Fanny Edson
of Westlock. and this year it has been decided to continue it. Miss Dorothy
Hetherington of Auburndale is the winning girl and will receive the $ 50.00
when she returns in the fall to take the second year at Vermilion.
A District Conference was held in Edmonton in March. Good reports
from all but one Constituency were received, also a report from Mrs. Johnston
on Canadian Industries, and a talk on Girls' Club W o r k by their Supervisor,
Mrs. Macgregor Smith.
Miss Storey brought a wonderful display of girls' sewing and millinery
from the Vermilion School of Agriculture and also gave a splendid outline of
the work taken up by the girls attending the school. Mrs. Nye explained
how the millinery classes were conducted. Miss Montgomery gave a very
interesting talk on Handicrafts and Culture, and Air. Bachman an illustrated
lecture on " The Indians."
I want to thank each and every one who have contributed to the splendid
work done in District No. 2, especially the Conveners, and would urge upon
them the necessity and advantage of visiting each Branch at least once a
year.
I believe if we will all act upon the motto, " Better Understanding," adopted
at the Camrose Conference last year, our work will continue to grow even
beyond our fondest expectations.
REPORT OF DISTRICT NO. 3
Mrs. J. P. Ferguson, Trochu, Director.
In the fourteen Constituencies in this District there are 119 Institutes with
a total membership of 2560. This is an increase of 13 over last year, but as
there are five or six of these Institutes not reporting regularly of late, I fear
perhaps the pangs of death are upon them.
Just at this point I desire to tax the delegates present with the duty of
reminding their local Secretaries never to fail to forward the monthly reports
as required by our organization. This is the only means we have of knowing
the state of health of each Institute.
According to the reports I have received, our District has raised the sum
of $ 14,581.57 during the last year, chiefly by means of suppers, dances, whist
drives, raffles and concerts. This money has been spent on local improvements,
beautifying our towns and villages, building and maintaining community
halls, assisting hospitals and doing relief work.
