F.W.I.C. REPORT (Continued from page 1, col. 3) The Manitoba Advisory Board urged some method of closer contact between the average W.I. member and F.W.I.C. The news sheet of F.W.I.C. is now being sent to every Women's Institute in the province, and I would urge that a few minutes be devoted to this news sheet at the meeting following its receipt. In fact, there is sufficient material in it to have a short discussion at each meeting. In this way we will be kept informed. The Manitoba W.I. Advisory Board also presented a motion that the F.W.I.C. send out the tentative pro- gramme for the Biennial convention at least three months before the date set for the meeting; also that they send resolutions to be presented, so the delegates would have sufficient time to acquaint their province with the question and know the feeling of the Institute. In this way they would be able to vote more intelligently, with the wishes of their provinces in mind. Resolutions and recommendations also came in from British Columbia, Saskatchewan. which will be present- ed to the full board meeting for their adoption and action. But it was felt that British Columbia’s resolution “that We give support to the cause of the Wartime Price and Trade Board in their eIIorL to prevent inflation”, should be accepted now. Mrs. Cameron Dow gave a report of the meeting; of representatives_of national women's organizations which she attended in Ottawa representing the F.W.I.C. This meeting had been called by llonahl G 'lon, chairman of the ‘Nai‘tinic Price d ’I‘radc Board, and the liinancc Minister, Hon. Mr. Ilslcy. The outcome of this is familiar to zill.

Price record books have been distri- buted, W.I. inc-ml) s have been ap- pointed to the uionnl advisory coni- niitiucs, and \ I. incmbers all over Canada are givingr their support to this phase of wiii‘ work.

I-Iougcrty, who had been named chairman of an Advisory Committee on Health Insurance, llr. licagei'ty wished to have u representative of rural womcn on this committee. He felt the best approach was through the Women's Institutes and asked for names of members who would act on this committee.

Hoacorty states, no money has been provided for travelling for any members of the committee and much of thi- work of this committee will, of neressily, be done by corre- spnndencv. Mrs. Petch of Hmumingim-d, P.Q., who was [he \\’.I. representative In a meeting of the Canadian Welfare Council, submitted a comprehensive report.

You will remember that at the Biennial meeting in Fredericton, it was decided to support this nicot- ing financially to the extent of $500.00. This full amount has not been used, and $182.00 still remained. A discussion arose as to what should be done with this money, and it was sug- gested that a recommendation should (Continued next col.)

(Continued from col. 1) go to the next Biennial meeting, that this amount be used as a nucleus of an Emergency Fund. An Institute in Alberta had disbanded and sent a War Saving Certificate valued at $100.00 to the F.W.I.C. It was thought this too might be put in the Emergen- cy Fund. This will be another matter to decide at the next Biennial meetâ€" mg. The President, Mrs. Dunham, in re- pnrtim: the progress which she had made in respect to the \‘I’.I. War Sav- ings Stump folder, urged that all W.I. Superintendents, oIIicers and members support and give publicity to this method of raising money for Canada’s war work. A supply of these folders has been sent to every lnsti» tutc in Ontario. More are available for the asking, and some have al- ready written for more. Euch province has its own financial act-up, its own rulings as to the amount each WI. and W.I. member will pay :nto the Provincial treasury. In Ontario ten cents out of every twenty-live cent membership fee is sent to the Provincial treasurer: in Nova Scotia, twenty-five cents per member is the allotment to the Pro- (Continued col. 4) LETTER FRIENDS Do these words inspire you to make the acquaintance of some overseas Women's Institute correspondents?
