Vickruck. :"he convener wrote: “The previous goals in our afety program have been to save lives and to rave people from physical hazards. However, torn past experience in community activities ..-e have witnessed an apathy to safety and a general disinterest in ‘the other fellow‘ . . . the Women’s Institute now faces a new challenge, that of making each one of us realize that ‘the :tthflr fellow' is worth saving, that we ourselves ire worth saving.” The report dealt with ways of developing good human relations within the Institute, such :5 making members feel “at home" in the group, to feel of value by having a chance to .tse their talents in the organization.

We read in the papers, we hear on the air ‘ Of killing and stealing, and crime everywhere. We Sigh, and we say, as we notice the trend Of this young generation, “Where will it end P" But can we be sure that it‘s their fault alone? That maybe a part of it isn’t our own? Too much money to spend, too much idle time Too many movies of passion and crime; Too many booksâ€"not fit to be read, Too much evil in what they hear said. Too many children encouraged to roam, _By too many parents who won't stay at home. Kids don’t make the movies, they don't write the books That paint gay pictures of gangsters and crooks. They don't make the liquor, they don’t run the bars. They don't make the laws and they don’t buy the cars; They don't make the drugs that addle the brain, It is all done by older folk, eager for gain. And, in how many cases, we find that it’s true, The label "delinquent" fits older folk £001 Eton: Manitoba Institute News; Reprinted from TheSecond Penny" i- ‘Ir 1* WINTER 1966 7 book entitled “You and Others"; “Poems That Touch the Heart" by A.

United Nations Report Mrs. Fred Meyer, F.W.I.O. United Nations Secretary reported a growing interest in United Nations activities. Many branches report working through U.N.I.C.E.F., L.A.C.F. and the Unitarian Services. Only two branches re- port Overseas Book Collections. Some plans have been made for International Co-operation Year. 88 branches report sponsoring a child through the Save the Children Fundâ€"some share with others in a district so it is difficult to give an accurate report of the number of children. (And some branches are supporting the same child for the second, third or fourth year. Ed.) 50 branches report letter friends in other countries: and 19 branches have friendship linksâ€"only We named the country involvedâ€"England and Scotland. The secre- tary concludes: “Let us work for friendships and peace in the years ahead.“ Elizabeth Fry Society Mrs. John Trimble, F.W.I.O. representa- tive to the Elizabeth Fry Society explained the work of the Society in the rehabilitation of girls and women who have served terms in prisons or reformatories. A residence is main- tained in Toronto where a girl or woman re- leased from prison can have a temporary home and help to get back into normal life again. An especially trained social worker is available at the residence for counselling. The Society makes recommendations to authorities regardâ€" ing the prevention of crime, laws concerning delinquent children and the treatment of deâ€" linquency including the administration of Training Schools. The Elizabeth Fry Society is also working to help women who are drug addicts. (The editor would suggest that a rep- resentative of this Society with training and experience in work with girls and women who have had difficulty with the law, might give a Women’s Institute audience some practical inâ€" formation on some of the causes of crime in our own communities and what might be done in the way of prevention.)
