SMALL MEMBERSHIP In Ghana the development of the YWCA on a nationa level dates back only to 1952, when Canada and Denmark agreed to sponsor its: organization. The first organizer was Ruth Rinner Wat- son of Galt, Ont. This year the 10 branches in the country held their - first national convention. Membership totals about 700. Miss Amaron graduated from McGill in physical education in 1926 and went to Burma to lay the foundations of a physical ed- ucation program for the YWCA there. From 1938 to 1944, she was in Ceylon and after the war re- turned to Burma, where she had to start almost from scratch fol- lowing the Japanese occupation. She was posted to Sierra Leone in 1951.

One day a week. a group of teen-agers meet anc arrange their own program; on Tuesdays, young business girls gather, perhaps to rehearse a simple, one-act play; a market girls' group has a literacy pro- gram, Other groups study cook- ing, handicraft, games, singing, dancing and home nursing. Miss Amaron said she may have difficulty in her search for a successor.

Last fall Beatrice Amartefeio graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in educa- tion after a year's stay in Can- ada. Now she is on the staff of the Teachers' Training College at Tamale, capital of Ghana's northern region. Tn the next few years other Ghanians will attend Canadian uniyersities under a $2,000 an- nual scholarship awarded by the Canada Council. This is one ex- ample of Canada's small, but growing contribution to help this fledgling member of the Com- monwealth over her first difficult years. LITTLE INTEREST Before Ghana gained her inde- pendence on March 6, 1957, Can- ada had no official representat- tive in Accra and her interest in the former Gold Coast colony was largely confined to trade.
