MRS. M. L. THOMPSON
The contribution made by Charlotte. ( Lottie) Thompson
to the progress of the Women's Institutes of Alberta
has been of inestimable value to the organization. She
f i r s t joined Coaldale branch and i n due time served as i ts
president f o r three years. Then followed s i x years as Constituency
Convener; four years as Director of D i s t r i c t 4;
four years as P r o v i n c i a l President and then, i n 1941 to
1945, she was called to the highest o f f i c e i n the Alberta
Women's Institutes - the P r o v i n c i a l President. These were
busy anxious years when the members were doing much p a t r i o t ic
work.
Perhaps she i s best known f o r her work as Editor of
Home and Country, an o f f i c e which she f i l l e d from 1934 to
1955 with the exception of the years 1941 to 1943. There i s
no way of determining the number of members who were f i r st
encouraged to subscribe to the paper a f t e r hearing Mrs.
Thompson report on ' Home and Country' at a P r o v i n c i a l Convention
- f o r her enthusiasm was contagious.
Por twelve years she directed the ' Home and Country
Half- Hour' over CJOC at Lethbridge. She was a member of the
Board of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada f o r four
years and was one of the f i v e delegates from Alberta who
attended the T r i e n n i a l of the Associated Country Women of
the World held i n Toronto i n 1953.
