Girls’ Views on Club Work At one session the girls were divided into groups of about twenty and were given a set of questions on the club member‘s possibilities and responsibilities at home, at school, in her club, her community and her country. The dis- cussion groups reported their findings to the general assembly and following are a few of their observations. To the question of whether their club ex perience had helped them with their responsiâ€" bilities at home one answer was: “We learn to work more efficiently and we find that if we are to live happily in a family we must all take part in the family activities.” One group said that the club gardens had helped many families to live more cheaply and to have bet- ter meals. Another felt that the greatest beneâ€" fit of club work was felt by girls in their own homes when they were married. Manuals and record books are valuable for reference even in later years. As to any effect their club membership had on their families. some said their mothers had adopted some of the ideas they had learned in their clubs, a few mothers had become club leaders when they saw what the work meant to their daughters, and most of the younger sisters of members were anxâ€" ious to get into club work as soon as they were old enough.

To give a club a good “public image" in the community the girls emphasized the impor- tance of each member being dependable. trust- worthy, wellâ€"mannered and friendly, ready to help in the community wherever she can. All the groups agreed that young people owr.‘ it to their country to get an education. Reports said “in a democracy we have more safety or protection if we have an educated popula- tion.” “The more education we have the more we can contribute to the progress of our counâ€" try.” “We need a standard system of educa- tion throughout Canada." “Exchange visits broaden our knowledge of our country.” “The better you understand both people and prob- lems the more interested and more interesting you are.“ “We must learn to accept others without prejudice; must try to understand Can. ada's French-English problem and must work for peaceful relations.” Among the projects recommended to mark Canada‘s Centennial anniversary were: more ex change visits among young peOple from prov- ince to province; the presentation of a skit “It’s Great to be a Canadian”, a series of T.V. programs on rural living so that city people might have a better understanding of rural peo- ple.
