NEWSLETTER APPRECIATE!)

"The Newsletters that are pre- pared and sent to us from the Women’s Institute Office are very helpful and informative. They contain study material on the dif- ferent fabrics—inicludlihg their manufacture, care, etc. Nutrition and good grooming are other to- pics that interest our 4-H’ers. One bit - of advice impressed our “ponytail” wearers. so, that when they read that the elastic bands usedpto hold the hair were harmful because they cut the hair, and besides they looked un- attractive.

Every girl agreed the ribbon bowswould replace them, even though the ribbon would have to be laundered daily. It was worth the effort. , Mothers who are Institute mem- bers assist occasionally with the class that meets at our home ev- ery Friday afternoon at three o’- clock. Parents fully realize a busy child is 1a happy child and best of all; the assurance of. know- ledge that will be. useful to them in future years. 4-H clubs are truly an asset to any community.

W.I. Gives Leadership In 313 Island Areas

Many communiities in Prince Edward Island have benefited du ing the past year because its three hundred and thirteen In- stitu-tzes have suppoirted commun- ity projects and promoted com- munity a-ctivtibieis. The Women's Institute Division of the Depart- ment of Agric-ulture is primarily in-terested in the farm home and with the Institute Motto being “For Home and Country" it is evident that the objective is to make the home and country an ideal place in which to live.

During the past year the In- stitute groups throiug-hout the province have contributed to community projects both finan- c-ially and edu-catvionally — the projects inclined music and drama work, rural education, and 4-H club work.

The newest project was the “Women’s Institute Community Irnipirovement Contesitkaan add- ed olaiss to the Rural Bearutiliica- tion Competition. Twenty- three In=s/Uirtutes took part in this com- petition, a.nd it is expected that more will enter Dhls year.

LEADERSIHIP COURSES

Leadership Cbunsies for officers o"v‘:i':al Institutes were held in six ‘centres during the latter part of November. The program for these courses was planned by the Women's Institute Staff. One or more merrrberis of the Provin- cial Executive attended each course and took part in the pro- gram. Discussions were held and talks were presented onvarious discussion methods, procedure for meetings, the Federated Wo- men’s Institute Convention, and recreation‘ programs.

The p‘l.lI‘lplO4S€ of these courses is to acquaint officers with their du- ties so that the local meetings will be carried out in an efficient manner. 'llhe officers from the various areas have an opportun-

ity to meet one another, exchange ideas, and discuss their problems together.

HANDICRAFT SERVICES

The two weekscourse in handi- crafts and home sewing is pop- ular, and during the past year courses were conducted in twen- ty-one (21) _ combined centres. The average a.-ttendance at each course was eighteen——one district had IJh‘lI'I.‘y-SIX members enrolled in the course. The crarfts taught included weaving, g‘-lovemaking, letaher work, stencil-ling and dress mwakin-g—-the most popular being dress-m-aking and leather craft.

The punpose of these courses is to create an interesut in new crafts and to preserve the use otthe older ones. People are en- couraged to exhibit their work at the Provincial Exhibition, and at their counmy fairs.

The 1957 Maritime Winter Fair featured, a Women’s Work dis- play of handicrafts. This was the first time such an exhibit was held, and proved to be very suc- cessﬁul. There were approximat- ely two hundred and seventy - five (275) entries from this pro- vince, and many of these were prize winning articles. CONVENTIONS ’
