The branches in the Camrose Constituency have as their slogan this year:
" What kind of an Institute would our Institute be
If all the members were just like me?"
E a c h member can Yery well ask herself this question, but let us trust that
her attitude towards her Institute w i l l be one of helpfulness and sympathy.
Let us think of the Institutes i n A l b e r t a as one large family and realize
that each branch has an important place to fill and must work for the good
of the whole.
R E P O R T OF DISTRICT NO. 3
Mrs. J. P. Ferguson, Trochu, Director.
It is w i t h pleasure that I present to you my second report as Director of
D i s t r i c t No. 3. Though 1930 was not very kind to our district in material
things our spirit has not been broken, but rather has been uplifted to endeavor
to do even better in time of depression than we did when prosperity favored us.
Before going into my report I desire to thank all the Constituency Con­veners
who have so ably c a r r i e d on the work and who engendered such fine
ideals in the minds of the members in our branches, I p a r t i c u l a r l y desire to
express my appreciation of the splendid manner in which these Conveners
r e p l i e d to the questionnaire I sent out early in the year. I k n ow that secur­i
n g the desired information must have caused you no little inconvenience and
I appreciate very deeply the care and trouble you spent on securing it for me.
