We met so many members. It \-. wonderful!" Our East and West Carlton hostesses to so g00d to us. ‘Homes Away From Hon Our drivers were so pleasant and took many. many miles. We all became such gt" friends and enjoyed each others’ comp-an} much. It was a great experience, one we sh never forget, and the most important of . was the friendly kind way of these poop; They took us into their hearts as well as tln homes. We felt we were visiting old friends i stead of new ones. It has strengthened the bond of confedcr. tion and Women’s Institutes to be able to tra el and see people elsewhere who have the san ideals, problems and interests. Our visit to Ottawa shall remain in 0t memory forever. It has enriched our li v greatly. We have gained a wealth of knou edge and a host of new friends.

Give me a healthy body, Lord And sense [0 keep it at its best; Give me a healthy mind, 0 Lord, To keep the pure and good in sight, \Vhich seeing sin is nor appalled, Bur finds a way to set it right. Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not whimper, whine, or sigh; Don't let me worry overmuch About that fussy thing call, "I." Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness from life And pass it on [0 other folk. *- i: * HOME AND COUNTRY
