(705)357-3121 Broken leg sparks Honeydale WI 50 years ago It all started with a broken leg. A farm hand in. the Honey's Corners area, about halfway between Seagrave and Port Perry, snapped the bone and found himself laid up. But just because he couldn't work didn't mean the bills would stop coming in, and sensitive to his predicament, a group of local farm wives whipped up a quilt, sold it and donated the proceeds to the unfor- tunate farmer. The incident sparked a real sense of companion- ship amongst the women, and encouraged them to form a group of their own. Somebody thought it was a good idea for the ladies to think about their own ~ branch of the Women's Institute, a federated educational organization dedicated to improving conditions in homes, communities, the nation and the world. And on May 8, 1935, the Honeydale Institute became an official part of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario. Fifty years later, last Monday, 'May 6, more than 100 women (and a few men) gathered in the Latcham Centre in Port Perry to mark Honeydale's Golden Anniversary. Guests from Brooklin, Claremont, Greenbank, Kinsale, Markham, Shirley and Whitby, dropped by to help the Honeydale members celebrate half a century of helping themselves be better people, and help- ing others in the process. Like Women's In- stitute members everywhere, Honeydale members work to im- prove homes and com- 'munities; learn by par- ticipation in planned pro- grams, workshops and conferences; initiate educational programs and special projects for the benefit of the com- munity; study current issues and problems related to family and society; inform govern- ments and other decision makers of rural women's viewpoints; influence ac- tion by presenting brief submissions concerning Utica and Area News by Vera Brown Utica United Church was the scene of infant baptism on Sunday when Alexander Roderick McKay who is the son of Rod and Marlene and James McKay Stevenson who is the son of Marvin and Cathy, were baptis- ed by Rev. McManiman. Church and Sunday School this week will be held in Epsom Church at 11:15 a.m. "Euchre winners on Friday evening were Ladies 1st Marie Gray, 2nd Vera Fawns and low was Annie Bowman.

Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fielding attended the Biss¢hop-Rudkin wed- ding on Saturday. Sun- day supper guests with the Fieldings were their foster daughter Rhonda, her husband Chuck Hut- ton and children of Whitby. Congratulations to Mrs. Crosier who has a new great grandson.

The first Women's In- stitute in the world was organized at Stoney Creek, Ontario on February 19, 1897 by co- founders Adelaide Hoodless and Erland "Lee. In the Honeydale area, Mary Honey (who died last year in her 90's) was given much of the credit for the group, which originally boasted 15 members. Mrs. Oscar Edwards was the first president. Several fond, old memories were re-lived by those who attended the Golden Anniversary, thanks to a brief history of the group as out-lined and researched by Honeydale curator Margaret Cornish, and some lighthearted quips from emcee Mabel Cawker. Alexander is baptised Gerrow and children were weekend guests with Bill and myself, the purpose was to get an early start at fishing for the big derby. On Sunday afternoon we visited Bill's mother Mrs. Katherine Brown in Sunderland. Mr. Jack Brown of Ajax was a Sunday supper guest. Alison Aked was presented with a pretty nice Mother's Day gift when she gave birth to a baby girl at Uxbridge Hospital. Congratula- tions to Stephen and Alison. This baby is also making history as (so far as we know) she will be the first baby to live in the house which the Akeds have purchased from the late Delia Harper Estate. Congratulations also to Hillis and Carol Wilbur who have been married 25 years.
