S I X T E E N T H A N N U A L C O N V E N T I ON 11
As a pleasing finish to a most interesting evening, a one- act play, entitled
" The Second L i e , " was presented iby members of the Calgary L i t t l e Theatre
Association, under the direction of M r s . W . Roland Winter.
Thursday Morning, May 22nd.
The meeting opened at 9.30 with assembly singing, Mrs. Montgomery

A pleasing message from Miss Margaret Hudson, Munson, president of
the W. I. Girls' Clubs, conveying " A l l good wishes for a successful and inspiri
n g convention," was read and received with enthusiastic applause. Greetings
from Mizpah Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, and a cordial invitation
to attend a bridge and whist party to be given by the Chapter on Thursday
evening, was received with an expression of appreciation, and a number of
delegates signified their desire to attend.
The president spoke regretfully of a number of members usually in attendance
at every convention who were absent at this session. Moved by Mrs.
Short, seconded by Mrs. Chevroth and carried, that the recording secretary
be instructed to write these absentees, expressing regret at their absence
and a hope that another year would find them in their accustomed places
again.
At thrs time several resolutions were presented for discussion which are
included in the complete report on Page 14.
The delegates were favored with two vocal solos, charmingly rendered
by Madame Kerenski, who appeared in native Russian costume and sang
" Sacred Prayer," responding to an encore by request with " Russia, Dark
Russia."
M r s . Wellington Huyck gave a summary of Women's Institute work in
the province along the lines suggested by the committee' on Child Welfare
and Public Health, of which she serves as convener. On motion by Mrs.
Huyck, seconded by Mrs. Alcock, the report was accepted and may be found
i n full on Page 35.
Most interesting and instructive was the follow- up address on health
topics, delivered by the Hon. George Hoadley, Minister of Health, in which
the plans of the department for the future were outlined and explained. A
synopsis of this address appears on Page 81.
Meeting adjourned at 12.15.
Thursday Afternoon, May 22nd.
The afternoon session opened at 1.30 with a short period of assembly
singing, Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. Ferguson, Director of District No. 3,
presiding.
The first order of business was a discussion of the financial statement as
presented by M r s . Regan, Business Secretary- Treasurer. A n attempt to reduce
the running expenses of the provincial organization met with disaster, as
the delegates were decidedly unwilling to dispense with any of the luxuries
to which they have become accustomed, and much less inclined to curtail on
necessities.
However, they did go on record as unanimously in favor of leaving a ll
financial adjustments, with the attendant worries, in the hands of the Council,
and expressed unlimited confidence in the ability of that body to make
dollars grow where dimes appeared before.
