TWENTY- FIRST' PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 63
" Dear Mrs. Stout:
" The general public are rapidly coming to the realization that factories
have a definite value to the community and that it is good business to purchase
the products of one's own fellow citizens. No small credit for the
creation of this sentiment is due to the splendid support which women's
organizations in Alberta, and particularly the Industries Committee of the
Alberta Women's Institutes, have given the Produced- in- Canada campaign.
" By giving first preference to goods produced in Canada our trade
relations with other countries will be kept in more even balance, our own
people will be kept employed, our national obligations will be reduced, and
part of the burden of our taxation will be absorbed by increased production.
" I am requested to advise you that at the Alberta Branch annual meeting
of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association the following resolution
was passed unanimously:
" ' Resolved, that the Alberta Branch, Canadian Manufacturers' Association,
extend its sincere thanks to the women's organizations, particularly
to the Industries Committee of the Alberta Women's Institutes, and to all
others who have helped to promote the greater sale of Canadian products
in the Province of Alberta during the past year.'
In conclusion I would like to express my own personal appreciation of
the splendid work that has and is being done by the Industries Committee
of the Alberta Women's Institutes.
" Yours faithfully,
" T. Ashenhurst,
" Secretary, Alberta Branch."
In concluding, I wish to extend best wishes to my successor in this Committee.
REPORT OF HANDICRAFT
Mrs. H. A. Fulchsr, Leduc, Convener
This is a subject which seems to appeal greatly to most of our members.
Nearly all Institutes have sent in very interesting reports, and there seems
to be an earnest desire to learn more about Handicrafts.
Since June 1937, I have witten 112 letters and two short articles on
Handicrafts— one for our A. W. I. Magazine and one for our New Federated
Home and Country Magazine. I have sent out 27 papei- s or articles on
Handicraft and 20 have been sent from the Loan Collection.
Most glowing reports have been sent in, showing the interest taken.
Some Institutes devote an entire meeting once a year to Handicraft. Innumerable
papers have been read, dealing with the various phases of the
subject. Papers on Ukrainian, Indian, Scotch, French and Canadian Handicrafts
on its " Cultural value," its begining and its present attainments, have
been read and discussed. Roll calls have been answered by showing lovely
samples of work, both old and new. In some cases, short lessons on various
stitches have been given.
