58 A L B E R T A WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
Several mentioned carrying on with the idea of the question box.
Quite a number have had a book review of Lillian M. Galbreth's " The
Home- maker and Her Job."
Mrs. Ballingall, from the Wabasso Cotton Co., gave the ladies of the
Alida Branch a talk on " Cottons," and presented two dress lengths to those
holding lucky tickets in a draw.
Bashaw had a local girl who is a Home Economics student at the University
tell about the course and show samples of her work, and a course in
advanced dressmaking given by the Department of Agriculture was held.
Several Branches report the making and packing of Christmas hampers
and boxes of candy, etc., for sick people or families who have been burned
out.
Exhibits of curtain tie- backs and flower containers have been held.
Mrs. Montgomery reports that she has sent out 50 papers to 18 people
on Home Economics topics. I have answered 43 requests for material myself,
usually enclosing three or four clippings and writing a letter suggesting
how enclosed material might be used, and where supplementary material
could be obtained, such as bulletins or recipe books for each member. I
have thoroughly enjoyed the friendly, newsy letters I have had from the
women when the clippings were returned.
I have sent away to the Department of Agriculture and the Department
of Health at Ottawa, the Department of Agriculture at Washington, the
Extension Departments of Manitoba and Alberta Universities, and to numerous
commercial firms, such as Westinghouse, Metropolitan Life and different
textile firms, etc., for available material. In every case I have had
a most generous response, usually much more than I asked for. I have
watched for suitable articles in magazines. Some of this material I have
sent directly to Mrs. Montgomery, some I have kept and some I have asked
her to copy, sending the original back to me.
I wish to thank Mrs. Montgomery for her help and co- operation and
also all the Constituency Conveners and District Directors.
I was provided with $ 3.00 for stamps and a supply of Institute stationery.
I still have a small amount of the latter and the sum of $ 1.16.
