At a meeting called Satur- day and attended by NDWT director Keith Turnbull, members of the board, and other people involved in the summer program, the local group was told that the group- of actors was tired, and preferred to rest before embarking on their cross- Canada tour. The proposed summer pro- gram revision, it was pointed out, should be ably handled by a good deal of experience in theatre among the 16 members of the board. Among the 16 are two people with wide experience.

"It would have been good to open with "The Donnelly's,' said a board member after the meeting, "but if the NDWT felt too tired after this Toronto run, and too pres- sured by the tight schedule for finishing the building and raising the funds, it's better for everyone that they post- pone their visit. Our job is now to get the green light on government funding and to obtain the services of a first-class theatrical director for Port Perry's first sum- mer season. Just how successful the local group will be in setting up the program should be known in two or three weeks. Marked pown Values !

Con- ference held recently in Ren- frew. Of the 182 woman gathered for the Conference about one quarter held 'positions as elders or were on the board of stewards of their respective churches. Fifty percent of the membership of any church is usually women. It is interesting to note that when the W.M.S, was first organized, we read of one minister who only permitted his women to organize and conduct a missionary society Scugog 4-H The Scugog club started their unit this year by select- ing officers and choosing a name for the club. President - Tammy Free- man, Vice-Pres. - Beth Wil- son, Secretary - Cheryl Chandler; Treasurer - Carol Wood; Press Reporter - Kathy Chandler. The name' chosed for the club is "'Scugog Super Supper Ser- vers". The leader this time is Stichmann, assistant leaders are Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Hortop. This has proved to be a very interesting project "A World of Foodin Canada". We have learned the history of our foods as well as the various ways people changed the Old World ways to that of the New World. The different dishes we have prepared and tasted have been fun to do. Some were liked and some were disliked. We. were very pleased to welcome our Home Econom- ist, Miss B. McClenaghan, to our second meeting. ' The members are now in the process of planning for the last meeting which is tg -be a party. Also we are planning our Achievement Day Exhibit. On Saturday, April 26th, the Scugog 4-H girls went to Toronto. They visited the Kensington Market. At the market there were clothes as well as different types of fruits, vegetables and meats. It is an outdoor market along the streets. We then went to the Chinese district and had a Chinese lunch. After lunch, we toured some of the Chinese shops. This was very interesting to us as China is our theme for Achievement Day. On the way home, we stop- ped at the St. Lawrence market which is indoors. on condition that an elder be always present at all meet- ings to see that the women conduct themselves in a seemly fashion. Who could tell what these women might be tempted to doif left to their own devices? In 1932 women were allowed as elders, and in 1936 the first woman was ordained in the United Church of Canada. In the past 2 or 3 years more women than ever are prepar- ing for the ministry. In conclusion, Miss Mac- Leod stressed "that women do not have to lose their feminity to obtain success, whether it be at home, in the business world or in the Church." The 13th annual meeting began with a pre-executive meeting. Following a delic- ious lunch, welcome was extended by Mrs. Freda Machin, president of Ren- frew Presbyterial and Mrs. Jessie Stewart. The 1974 minutes and reco- mendations were received, as well as the financial report; the proposed 1975 budget; the bursary fund; stewardship; supply pro- jects; and school news.
