:; 8 A L B E R T A WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
This District enjoyed the presence of the Provincial President at all of
the Constituency Conferences in 1938, with the exception of two which had to
he passed upon on account of rain and muddy roads. Half- hour broadcasts are
given monthly over CJOC by our Vice- President, Mrs. M . L . Thompson.
In the year 1938 we were fortunate to reach our objective re Southern
Alberta Radium Association, which totals $ 2,296.35 for 56 milligrams of
radium which is now available for use in Lethbridge, Alberta, under the
direction of Dr. Stuart M. Rose, radiologist. Personal letters of appreciation
are being received by the Institutes for their share in this noble and necessary
work.
Institutes in this District are appreciative of the amount of space given
to news of Branches in the Lethbridge Herald and sent in by Mrs. Norton,
Publicity Secretary, Coaldale.
Health literature is being distributed by the Branches, 12 pounds going
out from one Institute. This literature is available from both Provincial and
Federal Departments. It is known as the " Mabel Porter Health Project" in
District No. 4.
Since our last Convention, Mrs. E . Beaubier, former Provincial President,
nassed on and we all feel we have suffered a bereavement. Her kindly counsel
and whole- hearted interest in the cause of Women's Institute work will be
greatly missed.
Two District Conferences have been held, in 1938 in Lethbridge and in
Calgary in 1939. Our Provincial President and Vice- President both attended
the latter. I have visited each Constituency twice in the two- year period, with
the exception of Redcliff, which was visited once owing to weather conditions.
The association with my Conveners has been most pleasant at all times. I
thank the President, Mrs. Stewart; the Secretary, Mrs. Wood, and other
members of the Council for their co- operation. I thank you all for your cooperation
and your friendship.
We are indeed thankful to have our President with us for this Convention.
A number of our women are interested in Red Cross or other War work. I
am glad to see this patriotic spirit manifest itself, for—
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said, " This is my own, my native land!"
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell:
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth, as wish can claim;
Despite those powers of power and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
And dying shall go down to the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
