St. Laurent and Mr. C. D. Howe at the Par- liament buildings. Time was allowed to sit in obsewation of proceedings followed by luncheon in the Parliamentary cafeteria. In the afternoon a gala garden party was held on the beautiful lawns at the Government Ex- perimental Station when more than a thou- sand members gathered to hear Mrs. Berry prior to the tea which followed. Swift flight to Toronto allowed only for a short period of rest and Mrs. Berry was on her way again. Since there had been a spe- cific request for the privilege of attending an “ordinary meeting" Mrs. Berry was guest of the Unionville Branch and then went on to the College at Guelph for a dinner party in her honor. , The night was spent at the farm home of Mrs. George Wilson, St. Mary's. and the morn- ing spent visiting interesting farms in the vicinity. That afternoon again, well over a thousand members gathered from the London area to greet Mrs. Berry following a luncheon arranged through the courtesy of the Grand Valley Authority. Following her address in the beautiful park, tea was served to those gathered for the rare opportunity of hearing the leader of the far-flung groups integrated under the name, Associated Country Women of the World. Later that evening, Mrs. Berry was greet- ed, in her home at Owen Sound by Mrs, Gordâ€" on MacPhatter, our own President of F.W.I,O. Officers of the area were invited to meet Mrs. Berry informally and there followed two festivities, a dinner party at Shelburne as well as an open meeting for the women of the Area. Back to the Toronto Area and a day with the York members, of which more will be written in detail elsewhere. No leader of A.C.W.W. visiting in Ontario would consider leaving the Province without stopping at Stoney Creek, the birthâ€"place of the organization. Mrs. Berry was no excep- ion and special arrangements were made by Mrs. J. H. Carscallen, chairman of the Hamil- ton Area along with other members of the Stoney Creek group to welcome Mrs. Berry at that point. The marker which informs the t it * LlVE AND HELP LIVE By Edwin Markham 'Live and let live!" was the call of the Oldâ€" c call of the world when the world was coldâ€"- a call of men when they pulled apartâ€" he call of the race with a chill on the heart. ut "Live and help live!" is the cry of the Nowâ€" he cry of the world with the Dream shining throughâ€" E cry of the Brother World rising tn birth~ ht cry of the Christ for a Comrade-like earth. I built a chimney for a comrade old, [did the service not for be e or hireâ€" And then I travelled on in Winter's cold, Yet all the way I glowed before the fire. â€"Edwin Markham.
