Russell Review -- Lorne Wade seems to have made the transition from hardware Cae to clothing and footwear with ease. Next time you're in his shop in the Shahan Building on Concession Street, take a look at the faithful old sewing machines he's picked up. They're all polished and ready to go. You might even have a guess as to the identity of a mysterious shoemaker's device he's scratching his head about. -- Photo by Mary Rowsell. Russell Village W.I.

Educat- ion is our business, never was there a time when it was more important. Miss Molly McGhee, is the newly appointed Director of Home Economics Branch, Min- istry of Agriculture and Food. She expressed her appreciation to Women's Institute members across the province, who give leadership so freely, for the many programs presented. For 80 years the W.|.'s have been involved with training and education, always keeping in mind the program must be kept up-to-date, in order to attract younger members. Mr. A. R. Walker, Liaison Officer, Business Practices Division, Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. "When planning for Life, train and Educated people," The Market place is a complex unit even more so than 25 or even 10 years ago. We must learn to do more for ourselves and do it wisely. A good supervisor is one who can step on toes, without messing up the shine. How gullible are you? The con artist, works on fear. When shopping, think. Can you afford it and will it give satis- faction? Don't buy at the first store, shop around! Get a reliable dealer you can trust and ask lots of questions. The president, Mrs. Herb Maluske spoke on the theme "When planning for a year, Sow corn; When planning for a decade, plant trees; When planning for life, train and educate people". We're talking about the necessity for "known how." In the Women's Institute this process takes place at the branch monthly meeting. The outline for a Plan of Action consists of preparation, promotion, participation and perseverence, plus Praise. The executive started planning one year ago for this conference. The discussion group leaders have been busy since January. For a member to benefit most from these meetings her hands must be open to receive and give out again, to others the gifts of fellowship, friendship, under- standing, helpfulness, sympathy etc. Everyone must be involved. Perseverence and persistance pays off in the long run. Never forgetting to complete the plan with Praise. The Plennary session Thurs- day morning brought the confer- ence to a close, and delegates departed for their homes in all parts of the province. Cochrane's Dairy Ltd.
