T W E N T Y - F I R S T PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 55
7. The opium trade has been brought under strict control through the
efforts of the League.
8. The League carries on a useful supervisory mission through its
Mandates Commission which reviews annually the administration of those
Colonial Territories under the system of mandates. Each mandatory state is
called upon to give a full account of its stewardship.
9. Finally, the League serves as a Court of Appeal.
Perhaps it is that the League of Nations is ahead of its time, but all great
statesmen are of the opinion that the idea is right, if it can be made to function.
The great Canadian, Sir Robert Falconer says, " The League of Nations is the
Hope of the World."
And it is even yet predicted that the League will continue to function
no matter what handicaps may be encountered.
We are at war, and it is the duty of everyone to help in whatever capacity
it may be possible to do so, and I am very glad to see this Convention agree to
raising " The Emergency War Fund," pledging our utmost support, individually
and collectively and particularly as a worthy and worthwhile work of the
Alberta Women's Institutes in this hour of our Country's need.
REPORT OF HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS
Mrs. Rob'f. Brebner, Duffield, Convener.
When Mrs. Wood asked me shortly after the last Provincial Convention
to finish out her term as Convener of Home Economics, I knew that I should
have declined with thanks.
However, Mrs. Wood has drilled all of us who live in the Stony Plain
Constituency to say " I'll be glad to," or at least " I'll try," when asked to
accept any Institute responsibility. I said, " I'll try," but feel I could have
done much more, had I more time to devote to the work.
The reports which have come in, however, show an enormous amount
of work done, and a great interest taken in a wide range of subjects. This
proves that the work goes on in spite of the Convener,
With so much to report in such a limited time, I feel that I can scarcely
do more than list the most interesting of our aeitvfties.
Many of these demonstrations, paper and roll call topics have been
reported in several reports.
Demonstrations have been given on the following subjects:
" Renovating old Clothes."
" Knitted Pockets."
" Smocking, making tailored buttonholes, cutwork, etc."
" Cold pack canning and easy method of labelling jars."
" Beautifying the home at small cost."
" Cake making and decorating."
" Supper Dishes."
" Making Potted Meat."
" Candy Making."
