Resolutions In giving the report of resolutions, Mrs. Gordon MacPhatter, Hon. President, stated that resolutions received and passed at the Annual Meeting and sent to the proper auth- orities had received considerable thought in most cases, and she felt that from replies received the Women’s Institute had some weight. Mrs. MacPhatter reported that the resoluâ€" tion received at the Annual Meeting of the Board from the Women’s University Club of Ontario on Women's Rights had received consideration by the committee appointed. Due to the fact that the resolution presented by the University Women of Ontario was not very clear, it was agreed that a committee consisting of Mrs. MacPhatter, Mrs. L. G. Lymburner and Mrs. H. E. Dunn draft a new resolution to be presented at the Fall meeting of the F.W.I.O. Board.

SUMMER 1953 DIOTHER AND THE STORY HOUR By Faith Baldwin \Vhen Candlelight and firelight paint shadows on the wall, And children‘s funny shadows seem so grownâ€"up and tall, \thn bread and milk are cleared away and clocks a warning chime, Then Mother weaves it little spell of Once Upon a Time . . .
