In much Pleasure and a 5m benefit to the one taking pm,

I would ask our members that we continue Carrying on m, ‘god ‘m; for "Home and Country." Have our home! and srouncs as attractive looking as possible. Keep the farm garden free from weeds and w, need not worry over our vegetable "will! dllflol the- summer and winter months. Let us all create a feeling of hopefulness and good cheer throughout our million acre farm. The world is looking forward with great anticipation to the Imperial Conference to be held in Ottgwg some time during this month, where the best statesmen from all over the British Dominion will meet. Many great questio are to be dis- cussed and decide‘ upon, and I would ask that we bow our heads a moment in silent prayer, asking that those taking part in this Con- ference may be given Divine wis. dom in dealing with the great ques- tions to be considered and that much good will result from their meeting together.

Submitted by Mrs. John Crockett, Provincial Convenor 1

Madam President, Gentlemen,

Ladies and

As Convener of Canadian Indus- tries, in submitting the following report, I wish to thank the number of Institutes who answered the questionnaires prepared and sent out, for the detailed information received from them on this subject.

Through the medium oi these re- reports I learn that about '15 per cent. of the members ask for Can- adian Droducts, which is quite grati- fying. Some reports that such ar- ticles as dried fruits, toys, silk hos. iery, cars, cotton gbQa-en-a-n-u-am. etc, are not made in Canada to equal foreign goods. Not equal in Canada perhaps but within the Empire you will find all these ar- ticles the equal of foreign ones. A great many buy foreign articles be- cause they are cheaper.

The Island manufactures reported given the preference include the following: Canned goods of all kinds, brooms, butter, cheese, lard. candy, woollens, honey, Monarch waking Powder, fox biscuit, Island Flour, fish oi’ all varieties, ice cream, etc. Fifty per cent will lock for Empire products when shopping.

Several Institutes have asked for enwurageme it of some special in- dustry in their section, such as lob- ster packing, poultry raising, handi- crafts, including weaving and hook- ing of rugs, intensive gardening, dairy industry, fur farming,’ potato growing and the forming of Boys’ and Girls‘ Poultry and Stock Clubs. Tyne Valley asked for encourage- ment to be given their Hide Tan- nery, while Montague asked for s... couragement of their Furnishing

Company supplying caskets, etc., and also to the erection of monu- merits by Island companies.

The majority do not encourage Canadian Industries through their schools which I think would be very advisable and thus create more

coming generation of the value of our own British Empire.

One Institute reports very little encouragement is received from the Provincial Executive and‘ would ap-

more asssitance or information. I may say our own local Institute has always found the Supervisor, who is really the chief or business man- ager of the executive, both able and willing to give information or as- sistance in almost every phase of Institute work W providing p r

on different subjects, supplying de- tailed outlines of study to be car- ried on or of entertainments. The Departments of Agriculture both Canadian and Provincial are al- ways glad to supply information and help in any way possible if the

Number of Branches

since July i631 our branches have increased in number from 231 to

24a only two having discontinued during the year while l4 new branches have been. organised and one older branch, which found it necessary to discontinue its meet- ings for a few years, was re-organ- ised this year. We are glad to wel- come these branches, namely, Cape Traverse, Pleasant Grove, Head of I-lillsboro, Rose Valley, Caledonia, Lyndale, Carleton Lot 8, St. Peter's Iyake, Canavoy, Freetown, O'Br1en‘5 Road, Malpeque, Point de Roche, and Roseville. w, J

' " a1: This year Annual Report received from almost all of the branches and consequently 222 branches received their annual‘ grant. 1t seems ecessa y however to remind Secretaries again that order to receive a grant full re ports must be sent in within the limited time given. We want every branch to receive its grant.

District Convention During the months from June tr

October '26 Conventions were hel and through attending these Mr

Tait and I came in touch with 18 Institutes. In the month of Jun Just past Miss MacMilian attende 8 conventions embracing 63 branch es. At these conventions demonstra tiona and talks were given and prob lems of Institute work were d cussed. It is indeed encouraging see the improvement -in the greattr number of conventions each year and to feel that the branches are deriving such help from those meet- ings, and again I would like to urge that branches, which have not been attending. conventions in the past, wouldmake a special effort to do so

in the future. m, >- '. - .

For Home and Country Though the past year has been a difficult one financially the insti- tutes have not fallen behind in their contributions for Home and Coun- try. According to reports received 1m; year the amount expended on Schools exceeds that of the prev- ious year by a large proportion and In addition to this, generous dona- tions have been given toward School Fairs.

The work of remodelling. or build- ing new halls, improving and beau- tifying c- munity grounds and es- tablishing Libraries and recreational advantages in the communitiesl has been carried on with as much! en- thusiasm as in the past. The sick and shut-ins have received any evidences of cheer and thos in need have been well looked ter. In some cases branches have ven helped in educating the young eo- pie in the district who otherwise would not have had this advantage. Several Institutes report that flley

Meeting of the Provincial Executive

Three meetings of the Provincial Executive have been held since last July. In November a meeting of the Excutive together with members of the Board of Health was held for the purpose of discussing Dental Clinics.

At this meeting the following me- tion was passed: "That in the event of the Board of Health taking over the organization of Dental Clinics the Women's Institutes are pre- pared to support the enterprise." In discussing this ‘ion the mem- bers of the Board of Health assur- ed the Executive that with the sup- port of the Women's Institutes they would be willing to organize the clinic and Dr. Creelman, Chief Health‘ Oflicer, presented an esti- mate of the approximate cost of such an organization. At a later meeting of the Executive, held in March, a letter which had been re- ceived from Dr. Creelman was read. The letter stated that the matter of Dental Clinics had been fully dis- cussed with the Minister in Health,

institute News

The institute News has been pub- lished as usual this year and al- though the number of subscriptions has increased this increase is not large enough to make the paper self silpporting as was the original intention. In order to do this we must have about 300 more subscrip- tions. Tlle news is one means of keeping some measure of contact among the branches. Each issue contains articles of interest to every
