E I G H T E E N T H A N N U A L R E P O RT REPORT O F DISTRICT NO. 3 Mrs. J. P. Ferguson, Trochu, Director. It is w i t h mixed feelings of pleasure and disappointment that I present t h i s my report of the activities of the A l b e r t a Women's Institutes in D i s t r i ct No. 3 since M a y 1931. It is pleasurable to know that even adversity in one of its most severe forms has been bravely faced and to a certain extent conquered by the vast majority of our Institutes, but there has been disappointment in that during the struggle some branches have fallen by the wayside and some others have lost courage. However, we cannot complain very much for it has been wonderful the way in w h i c h our women have stood shoulder to shoulder and have given so much time and assistance to those they found not so favoured as they themselves. In District No. 3 there art. fourteen constituencies in which are a total of 98 Institutes, with a membership of 1832 reported. During the last year five new Institutes were organized and eight have disbanded. The new Institutes are Happy ' H i l l , U n i t y and Beaver Flats in the Red Deer Constituency, M o n i t o r ( lone) in Coronation Constituency, Foreman ' in Stettler Constituency. Unfortunately Happy H i l l was unable to withstand the blasts and disbanded after holding six meetings. The other disbanded branches are Lakeside in Lacombe- Ponoka Constituency, Zenith in Stettler Constituency, Three H i l l s in Olds East Constituency and Hughenden Village, Czar and N i t r em all i n the Ribstone Constituency. F o r the second year this district offered two scholarships for general progress in practical work at the Olds School of Agriculture. This year these scholarships were won by Miss Ruth M c F a l l of E t z i k o m and Mr. Robert E . K a i s e r of Red Deer. The Institutes have been very neighborly and have helped each other in various ways. It just so happened that the western part of the district was not as hard hit by weather conditions as the eastern part. I cannot too strongly emphasize the splendid response made by the Institutes in the more favoured area on behalf of the needs of those in the drought are* is. Red Deer Constituency sent a carload of vegetables to the Hand H i l l s Constituency; A l l i a n c e Institute was instrumental in sending two carloads of vegetables to the Youngstown d i s t r i c t : Blackfalds Institute contributed $ 10.00 towards a community car of potatoes sent to the eastern part of the province. D u r i n g the year the Institutes h i v e all been very busy attending to local needs. I note in several instances they have worked with the Red Cross Society in relief work.
