12 ALBERTA WOMEN'S INSTITUTES Moved by Mrs. Campbell, seconded by Mrs. Rothwell: " That whereas the Alberta Women's Institutes are not under Government supervision and do not receive financial aid, and due to the financial stress of the past few years, be it resolved, that we ask the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada to reduce the fees to $ 100 per year, dating from this Convention, until such time that we are able to meet the greater sum." Mrs. Huyck moved, and Mrs. Scott seconded, that the motion be amended to read § 150 per year. The amendment carried. The Convention wished the delegate to the Federated Women's Institute of Canada to be instructed to ask for the reduction of dues to $ 150. The Federated fees for the past biennial term were discussed. Moved by Mrs. Greenwood, seconded by Mrs. Bell: " That the Alberta Women's Institutes pay § 200 this year." Carried. The financial report as presented was then declared carried. The afternoon session then adjourned. The delegates took advantage of the time to view the handicraft exhibits displayed in an adjoining room. Later they went to the Elizabethan Room of the Hudson's Bay Company to enjoy the hospitality of the Calgary Women's Institute. Tea was charmingly served by the members of the Calgary Women's Institute, who wore dresses of a period of years gone by. A delightful program of music and song was enjoyed. Thursday Morning, May 27th Mrs. Stewart presided over the morning session as Mrs. Ferguson left on the Wednesday evening train for Toronto after having received wTord of the serious illness of her mother. Mrs. W. A. Brown, Director for District No. 2, was assistant to the presiding officer.

Brown was presented with a beautiful silver rose bowl by Mrs. R. E. Wood, on behalf of the delegates from District No. 2. Mrs. Brown thanked the ladies and expressed her pleasure of the gift. The report on the Standing Committee of League of Nations, prepared by Mrs. M. R. Morley, Verdant Valley, was read by Mrs. Campbell and is printed on page 52. The Convention was then favored with a solo, " Paddle Your Own Canoe", sung by Mrs. H. J. Montgomery. Greetings were read from Mrs. M . S. Rogers, Edmonton, who could not be present at this Convention. Mrs. H. R. Evans, Innisfree, Convener of Child Welfare and Public Health, brought forward a fine report of the work the Institutes are doing in regard to health. This report is found on page 54. Moved by Mrs. Bell, seconded by Mrs. Bates: " That the delegates from Institutes who have paid their 1936 dues but not their 1937 dues be given one- half refund on their railway fares." Carried. Assembly singing was again enjoyed, after which Mr. H . P. Brown, who is in charge of the Division of Visual Instruction of the University of Alberta, gave a brief address on that subject, showing the use of lantern slides, motion pictures and ground recording pictures in the modern school room.
