the l". W. I. C. — an organization which haa done so much for rural Canada. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to speak to any WJ. group since be- ing elected National President, an honor which I appreciate, but the honor is not mine. but belongs to the Province. and I lust happen to be the ' cumbent in office.

"I realize the magnitude of the Cask especially following such a capable executive as Mrs. Cam- eron Dow and I ask for your support and ctr-operation.

"I am also delighted to con- gratulate the recipients of the F. W. I. C. Life Membership and I would like to voice the sentiments of the citations and I hope they will live long and have good health to continue in their earnest. endeavors for Home and Country. 1t is very fitting that on thla 50th anniversary we should do honor to members who have performed such outstanding service and I hope in the not too distant future other members who have merited such rewards shall be similarly honored.

"Much has been accomplished in the past fifty years but there is a great task ahead and we shall lock to the future with confidence for health and strength to carry on. We take pride in the expan- rlon o! our organization. first t0 the Motherland. then to the Sonn- dlnavian countries. Holland. Bel- rium. Latvia. India. South MFICB- Australia. New Zealand and other rountrles where it ls known as "Canada's gift to the Country Women of the World."

r. w. DC. obiectlvu

"The F‘.W.i.C. is the outgrowth of the Provincial W. I. 1t is a clearing house for the activities of the Provincial Institute but it has also the following objectives:

i. To raise the standards of

‘r king,

2. To develop agriculture,

3. To promote educational. mor- al, social and. economic meas- HITS.

4. To encourage co-operation

and community efforts.

To initiate nation wide carn-

paigns in accordance with the

objectives of the Federation.

"Each Province has two repre- peiitatives on the Federal Board lBTid officers are elected at the Bl- lcflfllhl Board Meetins for a per- liod of two years.

"Every member in good stand- Iing in the Provincial W. I. is a ‘member of the FEWIC. and is en- ‘titled to the privileges as well as assuming the responsibilities that organization.

“Finances are always to the fore in the F. W. IC. and until 1M5 contributions were on a vol- untary basis but that was neither businesslike nor satisfactory. Now ‘we have a rite of 2c P" lndwld‘

P‘

do so much more did finances per- mit. still it. la a great step T01’- ivard over the old system.

"We are still working toward a Central Oflice lfl ottawii with paid secretary. However. this V681‘ W? did combine the offices of Re- cording. Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer with a paid Sec~ relary.

"I would like to see more of our

Provincial W. I. mfilflb"! "f" the l". W.I. C. pin. You are all entitled to wear it and the only difference between the pin Y0" are entitled to wear and the of- ficers of the FEWIC. is that we have a. bar. "The llWlC. have two conven- ers-Home Economics and Citiz- enship and also Counsellors who are the superintendents of Wo- men's Institutes in the V8110“! Provinces. They carry no vote but arc very helpful in making de- oislons and by their exPCPIE-Me l" the different fields of endeavor. they are able. We always welcome ‘hem at our Board meetings and we are verv grateful to the De- partment of Agriculture for mak- inir it possible for Miss Macdonalrl and Miss Haszard to be with us at Halifax.

Youth Council Aflhflel

"This year, the F.W.I.C.. realiz- ing the need for more support and cuuOUTIKEIIIQHT. to the youth of Canada, have become affiliated with the Canadian Boys and Cirla Youth Council The i".W.I.C. will have a representative on this Board and it is hoped in this way to create more interest not only Provincially but in the Dominion i-eompetltlon an wall.

‘and the importance of the oath of allegiance in the citizenship ceremony, which he described as "solemn and binding and not lightly to be renounced." He also mentioned the fact that according to the B. N. A.. Canada must be bl-lingual. He stressed the fact that new Canadians must be made to realize they have left behind certain traditions and ideologies and that democracy de- pends on what he or she puts into it and also that he has a right to contribute to our way of life. He stressed the fact that the first requisite for immigrants should be a knowledge of the language of the community al essential to his economic useful- ness and that he should be able to read the Canadian newspapers to get the democratic viewpoint.

"Here I might mention the fact that only a short time ago it was announced the growing number of newspapers and periodicals print- edyln foreign languages by the Communist Party. The new Can- adian gets the paper in his own language and he is influenced by the harmful nronagmda written in it. So that the first reoulre- mcnt must be to learn to speak and read the language of the country. The new Canadian must not be isolated, he must have a place in our social life, in the church. in llw clubs and other ar- iranirations. It ls necessary to go "is "Second Mile" to let their know they are at-repted It is also lmnortfint to let. them express their own tradtlons within Cari- ridlan life-not as their own coun- trv-but their crafts should be blended to become a part of our way of living.

Immigration Policy

"A resolution was sent to the Federal Government asking that Canada admit immigrants of proper selection. Two years ago such a resolution was brought to the attention of this Provincial organization but it was voted down. I believe if you lake a long rafitze Wow of the situation you will find Canada docs need immi- grants. You will all agree with me that we need farm help and help in the house Vlihon this resolut- ion was brought before the Con- trention.

omolovment but vou must remem- ber we are bcridiriir every effort and in monv cases usinfi! every available dollar ta educate our YOIII]? people.

“The Federal Government is zissistiiig ln eveiy way the veteran to get an education and that is just what we want but what hap- pens the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the best brains When they ere ready for a position there are no positions and consequently they are exported and we lose them. They must find employment else- where. You all know that for every clergyman. doctor, lawyer or scientist. we must have farm lab- orers. miners. industrial workers and so on We have only 11.000.- 000 people but we have unlimited rtsources that have not yet been scratched. we have water power that could be harnessed to pro- vlde power for countless industries but we have not the population behind these resources to develop them and no government or Pfi- vpfp ants-rows» mill ettflmnt to develop them unless they have the labor and also the market Our educated younu people are not going to be hewers of wood and carriers of water. What then ls the solution?

"P. F‘. I. has the highest per carilta population in Canada and we are not overcrowded but look at the other Provinces especially the Western Provinces. Alberta for instance. with a densltv such as ours would have 11000000 people.

Natural Resources

"If we had immigration suffic- ient to develop our natural re- aourcea then our young people would find employment in the field for which they are qualified. The professional man would be needed and the immigrant coming in would be unskilled and he could do the wlrk. We would then have a market for our farm produce, our coal, our wood products, etc.

"The United States became a first rate power for this very reason. She brought in unskilled labor and developed her resources. I believe the same for Canada.

"We must _change our attitude toward immigration if we are t0 keep our own voung people home and if we are to make Canada the great nation ehe should be.

‘There la another way we can increase the population if Canada and that is by endeavoring to dee crease the Infant mortality rate. There ‘a something wrung with our healtlrsyatem: when 80.000 biibiea under i! months die every year and what lfa more alarming feet is the death rate of more than twice u high in the rural araaa ea in the urban centres. There might be a reaaon for that in widely scattered, population areal fai- from doctors and hoe- gitala but that la not the problem

Rural Development

"The l". W I. C. are also tak- ing as a national project-Mme improvement and rural develop- ment, with accent on youth. Miss Roe. from The Country Guide, Winnipeg. spoke on housing. We need more houses but we also need better houses. During the wiir, 100.000 women went from farms in Canada into war jobs. The question is: ‘Will they be con- tent to go back remembering the inconveniences of farm houses or will they swell the future unem- ployment of urban centres?’ with the use of labor saving devices in the farm home. remodelled kitch- cna. furnaces hot. and rfold Water
