T W E N T Y - F I R S T PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 73
OUTLINE FOR STANDING COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION
AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, 1939- 1941
Mrs. D. W. Patterson, Grande Prairie, Convener.
1. In times like these, the subject of International Relations overshadows
that of Provincial and Dominion Legislation in most of our minds.
Yet it is in just such times that sweeping- changes in Legislation occur, as
witness the Granting of Woman's Suffrage in Britain and Canada, during the
last war.
2. Governments are given great powers in great emergencies, that often
leave their mark when the emergency has passed. Women's Institutes should
closely follow Acts dealing with Government control of Industry, Agriculture,
etc., both for present and future interest.
3. Your Institute can do its bit toward building- a better world by its
attitude of understanding and tolerance towards good Canadians of enemy
birth. I would suggest review and discussion of such books as Nora Wain's
" Reaching for the Stars," to help arrive at such understanding.
OUTLINE FOR STANDING COMMITTEE ON CANADIANIZATION
AND IMMIGRATION, 1939- 1941
Mrs. H. G. Ridley, P. O. Box 57, Tober, Convener.
There is so much that we, W. I. Workers, should study in these times of
stress, but first of all let each and everyone stop, shine up our looking- glass,
take a g- ood look at ourselves as a Canadian citizen. Do our lives show that
we appreciate the liberty, privileges and advantages that we have here in
Canada? I am afraid many of us fall short, so let us . . .
1. Study the laws of Canada and obey them.
2. Study the proper use of the Flag- and what it means to us.
Support all National Celebrations.
Sponsor a Flag Day.
Have flag salute at each meeting.
3. Study people of other lands, their ways and environments.
Exchange ideas with New- comers, making them feel at home and they
will soon come to the W. I. meetings.
Invite them to become Canadian citizens.
4. Roll Call Suggestions.
A Famous Canadian Woman, Author, Nurse, etc.
Something Canada has given to the World.
My Foreign Neighbour.
5. Establish a bond of friendship with other lands by joining " Links of
Empire" by correspondence.
6. Branch Convener give a current event on her subject at each
meeting.
7. Last but not least— Live Up to Our Creed.
Write me at any time and be sure to send me reports of your meetings
please. ,
