Received Charter 26 Years Ago: Start Yourself A New Career EDMONTON (CP) -- Mrs. William Woodman an_ ener- getic; ambitious great - grand- mother with an_ instinct for business affairs, is convinced that age is no handicap. She was 62 when, with a few dollars and second-hand equip- ment, she started a chick hatchery with a son. Now 80, she puts in eight hours a day six days a week supervising the thriving $75,000 business. She writes all the advertising copy for the hatchery and two years ago took a 20-week even- ing course in advertising. Mrs. Woodman attributes her Success to "honesty, a personal touch, faith and a refusal to be- come discouraged." "IT love my work and don't Mhink I would have lived this long if I hadn't worked." She admits she knew little of the business when she started, end it was "nip and tuck" for | a long time. 'TI grew with it and learned the office work as I went along. I did all the jobs in the hatch- ery, except-making the chicken boxes. This meant that, besides do- ing all the office work, she cleaned floors, put thousands of eggs on trays; took the newly hatched chicks off and put them in boxes for shipment, LIVED ON FARM 'A native of Brantford, Ont., } di MRS.

In 1939 the famiiy bought five acres of land within the city limits and Murray, then 19, built the family home. After wartime service with the RCAF he helped his mother start Woodman Hatcheries in 1946. 'We had only two second- hand incubators then but we shipped 13,000 chicks our first year," Mrs. Woodman recalls. Now she and Murray ship 30,- 000 chicks a week throughout Western Canada in the busy spring season. Tey estimate annual shipments. at 500,000 chicks. Mrs..

Viscount Greenwood Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire in Whitby can boast a proud record of services. The Chapter was formed in October, 1938, and received its charter, November 21, 1938. In December 1938, the Chap- ter was honored at a dinner given by the Royal Canadian Legion, Whitby. At that time the Standard was presented to the New Regent, Mrs. D. B. Coleman. The speaker of the evening was the Attorney Gen- eral of Ontario, the Honorable G. D. Conant. Mrs. D. E. Carruthers, who was one of the members of the first IODE Chapter formed in Canada, is the group's Honor- ary Regent. A post she has graced since the chapter began its work. The chapter is named after Hamar, Viscount Greenwood, who was born in Whitby in 1870. A stained glass window in All Saints'- Anglican "Church, Whitby, commemorates him. Over the years of teas, gar- den parties, theatre nights, bridges, tag days and numer- ous other functions IODE'ers raised thousands of dollars for War Relief, comforts' for servicemen, food for Britain projects, scholarships and bur- saries. After. the war members look- ed for a service project to do at home. A day camp was set up and continued in operation for many years. The chapter has presented many flags to schools and other onganizations over the years, along with book PRINCESS ELL LONDON (AP) -- Princess Margaret's doctor put her to bed Friday with a catarrhal infection, A spokesman said the princess had to cancel attend- ance at the English Folk Dance and Song Society dance Friday night. prizes and essay prizes and the IODE Nursing Bursary. Since its beginning the chap- ter has had able leadership, capable women who could eas- ily have stayed at home and allowed others to carry the bur- den of civic responsibility. In- stead, they have gone forward to grapple with the problems of today. The war has been over for many years but the Viscount Greenwood Chapter and IODE members everywhere are fight- ing a new war. The war against communism. The war against poverty and importantly the war against ir- tolerance. The chapter is trying to combat the prejudices which threaten Canadians today and looking for strength to the prin- ciples of honor, integrity and courage which have sustained the chapter in the past. The Oshawa Air Show brought a tidy sum of money which was used to further the work in Education Services and other areas of IODE work. MRS. C. D.
