Greetings From F.W.I.0. Mrs. Zoeller brought the greetings of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario and said that she considered the sponsoring of 4â€"H Homemaking Clubs as one of the most imporâ€" tant parts of Women‘s Institute work. I found the conference speakers to be very impressive. Their positions enabled them to speak with a certain amount of authority and the ideas presented were quite challenging. At the same time, the attitude of each speaker seemed to indicate a feeling of understanding and sympathy towards us as representatives of one segment of society. Judy Russell. Algoma. 12 When I first came. I didn‘t quite know whn; to expect, so. naturally was apprehensiVe; ant; didn‘t think I'd like it. After we got down 1., business, I got the feeling that I wish it wont. never end. It is a difficulty edging lmpOSSlblllh to pick one activity I liked above all other However, if I must, I can only say that th most fantastic thing was an assembly of 1“ girls of which I was a part. The get together sleepless nightS, and sore feet were more th;J worth it. in the acquaintances of so many giri like myself. 0f the presentations: Dr. Em. Chapman and Dr. John Powell both made it generation gap an unreal thing. The inter: group of music was extremely enjoyable, l'l' [axing and fulfilling. It is a wonder how ~ many girls can get together and two days lat. sing as a co-ordinated choir, while enjoyin- every note and second of leadership. I’ve always liked 4~H, but I don’t think really realized how much until these fabulou few days at Guelph. This conference brough out the abilities of persons to stand and thin? on the spurâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"moment and to talk freel- and ofi-the-cuff. I saw people come out from behind a “shy” wall to become involved. It eat all be summed as a tremendous experience am. one I shall not soon forget. “Learn to do by. doing" â€" it‘s the ONLY way to go. Dawn Henderson, Bruce Mines, Ontario. District of Algoma. * * t I’ve met many new people and had many new experiences. We had some excellenz speakers but the nicest thing was meeting the girls. I realize, now, just how many countie- there are in Ontario and all the hard work that so many people put into making the confer ence successful. Debra Traynor, Peterborough. Peterborough County. it t i I really enjoyed Girls' Conference this year and meeting all the other 4~H girls. The things I liked the best were Miss Chapman’s talk. Miss McKcrcher‘s talk, the banquet and tht party on Thursday night. Since I am going to University next year I was glad to see what a campus was really like. Gail Spicher. South Simeon.
