Lake- Fside Institute and the Secretary Mrs. Lloyd Kittmer we have a report of an anniverâ€" sary book which was sold at the Institute‘s fiftieth anniversary. The report says: "In thinkâ€" ing about the changes in fifty years it seemed that the biggest change in the Women‘s Insti- tute was the great growth from branches in Ontario in 1911 to a great world-wide organ» ization in 1961. So a short history of each phase was put in the book and has served as a good introduction to the Institute movement for new members since a branch member is a member of FWIO, FWIC and ACWW. Our anniversary book contains the program for the anniversary celebration, the early history of the branch and interesting events through the years, the names of Past Presidents and Secretaries with the years they were in office. a short history of the different phases of the Women's Institute from the branch to AC‘WW. the names of charter members, and the Executives for 1911 and 1961.” York County’s Radio Program OR SOME years now, the Women‘s Insti- tute of York County through the cooper- ation of Station CJRH, Richmond Hill. have had a radio program every Friday eve- ning.

FALL 1961 Fifty Years Old and Over Editor's Note: Occasionally someone still sends us a picture taken at an anniversary celebration. Some years ago it was decided that We could not publish either pictures or reports of ttttttii'errary parties â€" there are so many of them that they could fill a whole issue and no member would be interested in any but her own.
