Since then I have had a letter from a lady in Enniskillen who was kind enough to send me a clipping with the true story of the Women's In- stitute beginnings. So, for al you who have won- dered how it originated and even for you who have never even thought about it here is a brief resume of how it all began. After ail, a little knowledge is like a piece of string, it doesn't hurt to store it away because you never know when it will come in handy. It all began with Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, an Ontario farm girl whose fourth child died at 18 mon- ths from drinking contaminated milk. This prom- pted Mrs. Hoodless to launch a campaign to educate farm and urban women on hygene in connection with food and to help raise the standard of life for rural people. The first Women's Institute was founded in 1897 with Mrs. Hoodless as its first president and the motto "for home and country" was adopted at that time and is still in use today. Since then the idea spread and became a national organization in Canada in 1919. Today, all ten provinces each have their own organization as well as the national organization. Ontario alone boasts over 25,000 members. In 1933 it became international as the Associated Country Women of the World with a membership of over nine million in 66 countiies. both rural and urban.

Exchange your old blade for a reconditioned blade & SAVE MON EY w QULITY PROD1mUCTS 1 9 by BettyaJean Adelaide Hoodless was a remarkable woman who was also a moving force in creating Home Economices courses in Ontario schools; helped ex- pand the YWCA to the National level and served on the International Council of Women. The institutes have followed her example through the years and have been instrumental in having bread wrapped, centrelines painted on Provincial Highways, see- through packaging for bacon, fluorescent stripes painted on the sides of railroad cars (for better vision at rural crossings), labeling of garments, music added to school curriculums, stop signs at railway crossings and many more current regulations regarding safety and educational mat- ters that we all take for granted. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Hoodless and the dedicated women who followed her. BROOKLIN WOMEN'S INSTITUTE At the recent Resolutions meeting of Brooklin In- stitute, Mrs. Thompson, District president, was the guest speaker. She reviewed many of the institutes accomplishments includirg those mentioned above. The roll call for this meeting was to be answered with some of the needs and concerns of our com- munity. Among those cited were the need for a public transportation system and a Neighbourhood Watch program. Current events convenor Carrie Arksey brought to the attention of the members the recent merger of Western and Toronto General hospitals which will now form the largest hospital complex in the world. The next meeting, Tweedsmuir History, will take place on March 19 at 1:30 in Brooklin Community Centre. The motto will be "be familiar with yester- day in order to understand tomorrow". Roll call is to be answered with the name of a favourite an- tique. Visitors and new members are always welcome. Bill Swan FROM PC. S rules. The Young Offenders Act, of which much has been written but on which light is seldom shed, at- tempts to codify such understanding behavior, and make it into administrative and procedural rules. Administrators and legislators, you will observe, are slow learners. By trying to guarantee .just treatment to all Young people, they may have rob- bed police officers of just the latitude needed to provide that just treatment. The idea may be fine. But from what we have seen of the Young Offenders' Act, the law which was designed to guarantee fairness and understanding to young people in trouble has not lived up to its promise. The public sees the law as coddling serious criminals among our young. The needy youngsters see the law as full protection from the police. The result? The baby may have gone out with the bath -water. In order to properly perfôrm the role of educator, the police first need authority and the respect that brings. The new law may have under- mined that authority, and runs the danger of making impossible the very role that police have traditionally played to young people in our society. Changes in the Young Offenders' Act cannot come too soon.
