FOREWORD
Out of necessity, due to spiralling printing costs, the A. W. I
biennial Report Book has adopted a new format. The content has
not been changed; included herein are accounts of the activities,
the accomplishments, and the projects, as well as a listing of
the varied topics studied for the past two years by the Alberta
Women's Institutes.
This report is a source of information as well as guide for
individual members and officers alike. The Standing Committee
Chairmen have suggested topics for future study. Refer to the
book often - it is a valuable reference.
Due to A. W. I, hosting the Federated Convention in Banff in
1973, our Convention was a " mini" one lasting only half a day.
Thus, the minutes only include was transpired during the morning
session. It was decided that a full- time Convention would be held
at the Olds College dn 1974 .
During the next two years we must channel our programming to
meet today's needs of women in a rapidly changing society.
Institute members are encouraged to become more actively involved
in programs offered by the Department of Extension re: Nutrition,
Consumer Education, and Family Living.
My slogan for my two year term is: Action, Growth and Involve­ment.
We must work together for " Home and Country", so our
Organization can be recognized as a progressive one. Support In­stitute
projects at all levels: A. W. I.— F. W. I. C. and A. C. W. W.
In iatio n. 1 974 we celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the A. W. I. Organ-
