At the Handicraft Festival held in C a l g a r y this year, there was a wonderful
display of work done by our newcomers— an evidence of the lesson in art
and workmanship that we may learn from them, as also of appreciation on
their part of our endeavors to help them become a part of the country of
their adoption.

REPORT OF STANDING COMMITTEE ON CANADIANIZATION AND
NATIONAL EVENTS
Mrs. F. G. Grevett, Calgary, Convener.
The past year's record, as shown by interest in the subject of Canadianization-
and National Events, has been more than well maintained; in fact an
increasing interest is observed in many directions. Local Chairmen have reported
many activities likely to b r i n g this matter more prominently before
the people of both small and large communities. The foundation so well laid
by my predecessors, Mrs. E . R. Morley, Mrs. J . P. Ferguson and Mrs. Stewart,
to whom I wish to pay tribute, is beginning to bear fruit as shown by the
many excellent reports received.
A l l the Institutes heard from featured at least one event . i n their programmes.
P l a c i n g of the Kellogg Peace Pact in many schools is imparting knowledge
of agreements between nations, which w i l l in time create in the minds
and hearts of our boys and girls a desire for peace.
Many Institutes had papers and lectures on Canadianization, Oath of
Allegiance, Canada, Her Place in the Commonwealth of Nations, Canadian
Authors and Poets since Confederation, A Famous Character in Canadian
H i s t o r y , Three Qualities one would hope to find in a Real Canadian Nation,
