And most of us don’t care enough to make a really energetic effort to help these unfortunate people.” The speaker declared that with modern methods of agriculture and food conservation production could keep up with consumption. “We must teach the hungry peeples to help themselves,” he said. “That is why the Mysore Training Centre in India came into being. The courses that are being provided at Mysore with the money we have raised is being used to teach men and w0men from Burma, Ceylon, India, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam how to make better use of the food supplies available to them. They will return to their own countries and teach others of their country- men.” “So far in the Canadian Mysore Project."

This year is International Co-operation Year and the month of November has been declared World Food Month. In Canada it will be called ‘Share-a-Loaf Month,‘ in which we shall ask every family to donate 25 cents. the price of a loaf, each week during the month . . .

Kell, Mrs. W. D. Mack, Mrs. Arthur Hudson, Mrs. R, G. Purcell, Mrs. Hugh Lindsay, Mrs. Gordon Bothwell, Mrs- Austin Zoeller, Mrs. Harvey Houston, Mrs. L. G. Lymburner, Mrs. Elton Armstrong, Mrs. SUMMER 1965 Gerald Holder. Mrs. R. C. Walker, Provin- cial Tweedsmuir History Curator was Chairâ€" man of the Section for Curators. Mrs. Austin Zoeller, Provincial Public Relations Officer was Chairman for the P.R.O.’s; Mrs. L. G. Lymburner. Provincial Past President was Chairman for Presidents: and Mrs. Gerald Holder, recently retired Provincial Secretary- Treasurer for the Secretary-Treasurers. The findings and recommendations of the groups were of specific interest to the officers concerned; but a few notes from Mrs. Walker's presentation to the curators may offer suggestions to all Institute members. "A Tweedsmuir History should include any one and everyone in the community. It should start with a nucleusâ€"school section. village, roads, rivers. etc. forming a block. Then boundaries should be extended, as time pro- gresses. to meet boundaries of neighboring Tweedsmuir Histories. “Have Tweedsmuir Teas, to show the book to the folk of the community, having small groups at a time. “Appeal for family trees both for the Tweedsmuir History and for the Genealogical Society records of the province." The answer to a question "Should humorous stories and anecdotes be included in a Tweedsmuir History” was “Definitely! They portray ‘tbe good old days,’ happy times, and tragedies and add spice and interest to the book." A suggestion for a centennial project was: “A Twecdsmuir History in every Women‘s Institute and a Tweedsmuir Tea in each community”. Entertainment Community singing led by Padre W. A. Young with Mrs, Ralph Kidd at the piano was one of the happy experiences of the conference. A bus tour to the Adelaide Hoodless Home- stead at St. George was a special treat to those who knew about the place only through hear- say, preSS and pictures. The evening following a long afternoon in workshops was given to a variety program by institute members. From 17
