Mrs. MacPhotter and Mrs. Keefer make the F.W.I:O. Board's presentation of a set of luggage to the retiring Sacretury-Treusurer, Mrs. Maynard. Much the same was said for advertising this year as last year. Many do not care for so much of it but feel it is necessary. otherwise they could not receive so much for so little. The recommendation is that advertising should be brief and accurate. All viewers ask that beer and liquor adVErtising be kept ofi' both radio and television.

Federated Women's Institutes of Canada. to the Biennial Meeting of F.W.I.C., that radio and TV evaluation surveys be conducted in each province during the next two years, was accepted at the F.W.l.0. annual meeting. Because the survey is in the field of Public Relations, Mrs. Wilson suggested that it he conducted by the branch P.R.R.s and that they send their reports to the provincial P.R.R., Mrs. P. Y. McCandless. Forms will be sent to the branch P.R.R.s early in the new year to be filled. Suggestions on how to make the survey will accompany the forms. International Plowing Match Tent Mrs. G.
