W h i l e Mrs. Montgomery and myself were on a little trip to Fort St.
John, B. C., we detoured to make an informal call on some of the members of
the Institutes in the B. C. block and invited them to our conference. We
regret they were unable to attend but. since that time, the B. C. Government
has sent an organizer into that country and they held a conference of their
own. I am sure we wish them all success for the future.
REPORT OF DISTRICT NO. 2.
Mrs. W. C. Short, Edmonton, Director.
As Director of District No. 1, I beg to submit the f o l l o w i n g report. There
are 50 Institutes located in nine Constituency groups, with a membership of
approximately 1010. During the year some have disbanded, but others have
been organized to take their place, so that the number of Institutes is one
less than last year.
Each Constituency held a Conference last f a l l ; at each good reports were
given, showing that the Institutes are doing good work, but one cannot help
feeling that the general depression is h a v i n g its effect on the branches, and
necessitating a good deal of relief work.
In l o o k i n g over the Conveners' reports I find in some a good deal of
information which rightly belongs to the Conveners of S t a n d i n g Committees,
and 1 trust that they too have received an account of this work.
1 was delighted to have w i t h me at six of my Conferences, our P r o v i n c i al
President, Mrs. Montgomery. A t each one she was warmly welcomed, gave
an educational and inspiring address, and delighted everyone with her message
of song.
The women are to be congratulated on the class of entertainment given
at these Conferences, and the delicious meals served.
The boundaries of the Lac Ste. Anne Constituency have been changed—
all west of and including Evansburg are now in Edson Constituency, and a ll
east of Evansburg in Stony P l a i n Constituency.
The Conveners have been very faithful and energetic and have visited
most of the branches. I would like to suggest that they report every three
months to the District Director.
For the fourth year we are donating the $ 50,00 scholarship for general
proficiency to a first year g i r l at the V e r m i l i o n School of A g r i c u l t u r e . This
year the lucky g i r l is Miss E d i t h M . H u t c h i n s o n of Duhamel. T h i s is one of
the most sought after prizes at the school, and I trust we Will be able to
continue it.

for the W i l d Roses made by the Junior Red Cross for our Canadian
