W r i t e a paper on Canadian Industry and send me a copy w i t h your ideas
on the subject.
Make a survey of local industries, if any, getting information regarding
products and output.
Please send any idea that you might feel is . particularly adapted to your
locality, for the farther one can spread the idea of " Home B u y i n g " the
greater will be the results. You w i l l have a good opportunity to educate the
newcomer in home buying.
I w i l l be pleased to furnish you with any literature or assistance I can.
Where it is possible you could have a " M a d e - i n - A l b e r t a " exhibition and
as in the small places, have several Institutes go in together.
There is a lot of work to be done in this line and I am sure that it is not
only a pleasure to learn of all the things that are being made in A l b e r t a but
i t also is good for trade. Always remember where your pay check comes
from and patronize home industry.
Please keep in touch with me and I can assure you that I w i l l appreciate
any ideas you may have for furthering the work.

REPORT ON L E A G U E OF NATIONS
Mrs. E. A. Oatway, Donalds, Convener.
In making this report on the League of Nations, I wish to thank the
branch and constituency chairmen who have been so active and faithful in
c a r r y i n g out the work of this department. I appreciate the interest evinced
in their requests for literature, and am grateful for the many helpful sug­gestions.
In some constituencies, where there were no chairmen appointed
in this department, the Constituency Conveners have done splendid work.
A l t h o u g h many branches have reported to me, yet there are many which
have not communicated with me in any way, and I should be glad if they
would do so.
I have been able to collect considerable literature, which is constantly in
use by the Institutes. Branches may also obtain helpful material from Col.
C. P. Meredith, Secretary of the League of Nations Society in Canada,
Ottawa, and from Mrs. H . E . T r e m a i n , Secretary of the Women's League of
N a t i o n s Association. 20 St. Joseph St.. Toronto. Wherever possible, the
branches should subscribe to " Interdependence,"
Many branches have carried out in detail the outline for 1931- 32, found
on page 63 of the last report of the Annual Convention, while some appar­e
n t l y have not known of its existence. I am p a r t i c u l a r l y grateful to those
Institutes which have carried out the program outlined for the schools and'
have offered prizes for essays and posters. Several Institutes have had public
peace entertainments, have observed Peace Sunday 3nd Peace Day. i n addi­tion
to the program carried out at a regular meeting of the Institute, and
have thus brought the question of Disarmament and W o r l d peace before the
public in varied and interesting form.
