F o r m e r 4 - H g i r l h e a d s a r e a W I Jj
After 4- H, what does a
country girl do to fulfil the
community service 4- H
instils in its disciples.
Well, among many
things, she may rise in
the Women's Institute, a
similarly rural- oriented
organization.
One of the youngest to ever hoi d
the office of WI constituency
convener, Trudy Carson has assumed
the duty for the Red Deer
area. Her nomination, along with
co- convener Florence Ruttan
of Blackfalds, comes as the WI
reflects on its own revitalization.
" We have to get more women
to help out with the important
community tasks the WI has always
been committed to," she said
in her Red Deer home adding, " and
we have to recruit many more
younger women ( for WI)."
Seen as her primary objective,
the new convener recognizes that
younger women are the means of
perpetuating WI's long life in rural
Alberta. At the same time,
she said, the society must tell its
story, the message being that the
ladies just don't sit around sipping
tea. " All the chapters," she
went on, " have been involved in
the socio- economic- education
dimensions of their communities,
a tradition of WI and one our
members take seriously."
Community service is instinctive
for the CC who was raised on
the Little Red Deer district
farm of James and Livalle
Edgar. She started school at John
Wilson, Innisfail, a year after
Little Red Deer School closed as a
TRUDY CARSON
consequence of consolidation.
4- H formed a big part of her
childhood, being a member of the
Innisfail Sew * N Sews ( of which
her mother was co- leader) and
later entered show competition in
the Bow- Inn Pee Wee and 4- H
Calf clubs. " I never won a prize,"
$ 1.00
she smiled, " but always entered
competition, which is the object of
the ( 4- H) exercise."
Trudy was a junior leader in
the Sew * N Sews and until recently
kept and rode horses, for the fun
of it, at the home place.
Joining Dorcas ( Little Red
Deer- Innisfail) WI in 1980, Mrs.
Carson has consistently entered
the regional WI spring handicraft
shows while raising her children
Leah, 11 1/ 2, and Cameron, 10,
who also attended Innisfail
County schools.
WI has figured high in the CC's
family traditions since great
grandmother Mary Manuel was
a charter member of the Little
Red Deer Dorcas Society, a club
that later became Dorcas WI.
Trudy is the wife of Mitch Carson,
the County of Red Deer fire
chief. After Mitch's appointment,
Jan. 1, 1988, the family moved
from Innisfail to Red Deer where
Trudy resumed her WI relationship
with Balmoral.
Mrs. Carson succeeded Mrs.
Grace Grover of Blackfalds and
will be assisted by co- convener
Mrs. Florence Ruttan. r f
