The services sponsored by Women's Insti- tutes are now open not only to members but to all women in the community. We are anxious that all women in the community know about the course because valuable serv- ice can be given to the community by an In- stitute sponsoring an extension service. One essential in the new set-up is that ade- quate attendance be assured. Please check with the booklet for the minimum and maxiâ€" mum attendance of the course you choose. Summing up: The new service will be more localized, will eliminate the voting for a serv- ice at the District Annual, and will allow more freedom of choice for the individual.

F.A.0. In The lnstitutes‘ Programme “When two-thirds of the population of the world are farmers, and at the same time two- thirds of the people of the world haven‘t enough to eat, and have nothing to look for ward to but hunger and the diseases due to hunger, something is desperately wrong". said Miss Florence Reynolds, of the Food and Agri~ culture Organization of the United Nations. MiSs Reynolds told about the initial calling together of experts in agricultural and nutri- tion in the year 1943, when it became clear that the world‘s most dangerous problem was hunger. Representatives from forty-five naâ€" tions discussed the question and when they were asked if it; were possible to save the world from starvation. they replied that it could be done “if the knowledge stored up in laboratories were taken out to the land and put to work". This is the great obj9ctive of F.A.O. â€"4 to help the people of underdeveloped cauntries 'il
