W. I. holds constituency conference
the spirit of things when
the Women's Institute
decided to enliven its
annual Red Deer Centre
host of other worthwhile
community projects .
The WI said a fond
farewell to one chapter of
that history when convenor
Faye Mayberry pointed out
in her report that Clearview
WI has disbanded after 70
years of service. Clearview
District is a rural region
which borders the city on
the south. Clearview WI
has contributed at least one
AWI president ( Ethel Mor-risroe)
and two provincial
secretaries ( Agnes and
Gertrude Richards) . At one
point the club contained so
many skilled needlewomen
that the T. Eaton Co . silver
tray was given to it to keep
after taking it home
repeatedly for several
years. The tray is now
lodged in the museum's
collections .
In other business, the
constituency reps. voted in
Doris Northey to succeed
Mrs . Mayberry who has
finished her three year
term as convenor . Three
other vacant positions were
filled with Pat Mayne
taking on constituency
handicrafts, Doris Warke
taking on International
Affairs and Jennifer Lund
filling the constituency
agriculture convenors spot .

also managed to take home
the Doris E. Beckingsale
knitting award for the most
points in knitting by a
