Bus Trip to Ottawa By Agnes Reist UR North Waterloo Women's Institutes 0 had an excellent threeâ€"day tour to Cornwall by the seaway route then on to Ottawa. We spent both nights in Ottawa. Through arrangements made in advance by our Member of Parliament we had a tour of the Parliament Buildings, saw the procession to the House of Commons, and sat in on a session for half an hour. Our time at the session was too short but it was all we could allow. The after- noon was free for the women to shop or visit or take a boat cruise. The next morning we visited the Mint, the Archives, then had a bus tour of the city, the Experimental Farm, saw the Embassy Houses, the R.C.M.P. barracks and the tulips. Incidentally we planned the trip for "tulip time". (The bulbs are sent each year by Queen Juliana in remembrance of the hos< pitality of Ottawa for herself and her children during the war.) Some women from South Waterloo went with us. The cost for bus fare and motel accommodation was $18 each; the price of meals added to this made the entire cost from $25 to $30. Upper Canada Village was not yet opened but for next year we have started plans for a trip to include Upper Canada Village, Mont- real and Quebec. Dancing Class For Children By Sadie B. Wall OR THE PAST three years, Huntley Women's Institute, Carp, has sponsored a dancing class for the children of the community, and it has been a most rewarding effort. This year thirty-four children, ranging in age from four to fourteen, completed the lessons in ballet, tap and folk dancing, and graduated at a recital patronized by an over- flow audience of parents and interested friends. Mrs. John James Reid, a past president of the branch, was the instigator of the project, in 1958, when the members decided to hire a dancing teacher, Mrs. Shipman of Ottawa, to come to Carp to instruct the children in a room of the public school. No rent was charged for the accommodation, but the school board stipulated that a member of the Institute must be present at each class and the classroom 24 Performers in the lap dance "Me and My Sharla at the recital of the Children's Dance CloSs sponso b, Huntley Women's Institute. must be restored to order each time title ise.
