ASSOCIATED COUNTRY - WOMEN OF THE WORLD
CENTRAL S WESTERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE
EDMONTON ALBERTA
n
Last week Edmonton hosted the
Grey Cup; the week prior to that,
an area conference of the Associat-ed
Country Women of the World.
You heard about the Grey Cup-you
heard nothing of the other
gathering except through the West-ern
Producer.
The area ACWW conference was
a coming together of kind hearts
and gentle people to study closely
the international connection of
their or& anizations. Provincial
women's institutes. Women of Uni-farm,
NFU women and Circles de
Fermieres are all constituent socie-ties
of ACWW and while members
are enthusiastic about the success-ful
projects carried out in countries
less fortunate than their own, few
have coped with the elaborate con-stitution
of ACWW, the multiplici-ty
of committees and the power
structure. Many attended the Van-couver
World Conference and were
plunged, quite unprepared, into
consternation.
The Edmonton meeting was a
unique opportunity to learn. It may
well be the only occasion when'so
many of the key players ofACWW
assemble as resource persons at a
Western conference : Dr . Ellen
McLean, world president of
ACWW. a Canadian from Nova
Scotia ; two area vice- presidents,
Jean Ehlinger for USA and Martha
Bielish for Canada ; as well as
Marian Fulton of Manitoba, a
member of the influential General
Purposes Committee of ACWW.
Good communicators all, they
achieved that special rapport that
surrounds the delegates so even as
they go home enlightened, more
impo rtantly they feel bound in a
fellowship of common goals and
aspirations.
Perhaps in time the influence of
this one meeting may help create a
climate for peace and brother-hood
.
1 loved being there and meeting
again all those wonderful Alberta
women, especially the ones who
worked like Troj} ns filling the
pi eonholes at the Vancouver
