REPORT OF STANDING COMMITTEE ON CANADIAN INDUSTRIES
Mrs. J. W. Johnston,, Edmonton, Convener.
I have very great pleasure in presenting the report of the work of the
Standing Committee for Canadian Industries. I have reviewed over sixty
letters and papers brimful of enthusiasm and information, many of them
worthy of publication, but as brevity is the need in compiling an annual
report, must unfortunately govern myself accordingly.
The demand for information dealing with Canada's Industries and Natural
Resources is steadily increasing, proving without a doubt the growing
interest in our country's industrial development. The requests cover a tremendous
field.
A very comprehensive paper from Hermit Lake pointed out the advantages
Canada offers industrial investors, giving us three reasons, wealth of natural
resources, unlimited water power and the accessabtlity to the world's markets.
Other reports deal with some one particular industry, others with the variety
of manufactured products, fertility of the soil, imports and exports. In fact
there is no phase of Canada's industrial possibilities that have been overlooked.
Many Institutes open their meetings with a " roll call" of an Alberta or
Canadian product; papers relative to the subject were given, speakers where
possible were invited to give addresses; essay contests on Alberta's industries
were sponsored in some of the schools throughout the Province; teas, luncheons
and suppers composed of Alberta and Canadian products were served.
A cook book suggesting the use of the home article in the preparation
of the recipes was compiled. At some of the meetings charts, maps and
posters depicting some phase of industry were used to illustrate the addresses.
Empire Shopping Week has been observed in many districts, for in furthering
the interests of Canada, we are empire builders also.
The C. M . A. through their Edmonton branch gave the work of the
Standing_ Committee on Canadian Industries in this Province splendid help
and publicity, by sending articles to their head office for publication in Indust
r i a l Canada and provided information and pamphlets relating to Industry
for distribution.
An article of some length commending the efforts of the Alberta Women's
Institutes in promoting the " Buy at Home" idea, appeared in the Calgary
H e r a l d of A p r i l 30th.
