Futcher‘s term as President. $5000.00 was donated en- abling the Board to establish a $2,000.00 Dorothy Fut- Cher Scholarship. Originally there were three scholarships at $6000 mic-h. Interest rates were low and in 1953 it was changed to just one. In 1970 one scholarship was oil {:3er but for $100.00. This continues to be offered. From the 319.000.00 Adelaide Hoodless Memorial Fund a considerable amount of accrued interest had chumulflled. In 1954 the Provincial Board granted a {450.00 scholarship to a Jamaican girl. The first year -500.00 was paid. she failed her year and this ended he project. The remaining $450.00 went into the Ontario tomen’s Institute Scholarship Fund and in January ‘963 when Miss Florence P. Eadie retired. a second 1nd of$2,000.00 was established known as the FLOR. - NICE P. EADIE ONTARIO WOMEN’S INSTITUTE «CHOLARSHIP.

When the Fund his closed at April 30. 1965 the objective of 60,000.00 had not been reached. It was completed by he transfer of$10.000.00 from the balance in the genâ€" -.'I‘.Jl fund. in order that the investment would be corn- .ileted. and a scholarship could be offered. To have waited for the principal to be built up to the required amount by the addition of the interest. would have meant a delay ofseveral years. There were ~ume years when a recipient was not available so by 1971 the amount borrowed from the general fund was repaid in full and the $50,000.00 International Scholâ€" arship was established, Definite terms of reference have never been estab- lished. and for a very good reason. Changing situ- ations around the world demand flexibility and FWIO feel it wonld not be good to tie terms too tightly into references. It has always been with the understanding that “people” should be helped rather than money doâ€" nated toward buildings and equipment. Originally it was thought the best method of assist- unce would be to bring a girl to Canada for further education in Foods and Nutrition. then return to her homeland and use this education to help raise the standard of living in her own country. It was soon real- ized that it was better to train girls in their native land. Assistance has been given to many. for example to Pearl lsaacksz from Ceylon who came to Canada and attended Macdonald Institute. Guelph. Six Indian girls trained in India under the Canada Mysore projâ€" ect. Nazmiye Salman trained in Midwifery in Turkey and Gulsern Ece also from Turkey became a teacher. Spanish girls in Spain took a crash course in English so they might attend ACWW. Assistance has been given to the South African Home Makers Clubs.
