[Both were past presidents. < The meeting began in its reg- ular fashion with the roll call: "What I like or dislike about daily newspapers." made some comment. were objections to the surfeit of two visitors w horror stories. and the lack of However more pleasant ones. one lady remarked that since she only read what she pleased. it really didn't matter what was used in the paper! The minutes were adopted as read and the treasurer‘s report was only a request for permis- sion to pay some bills. Mrs. Grace Sayers gave a resume of the district meeting where she was a delegate. Mrs. Lex Jamieson was preâ€" sented with a life membership by Mrs. Claire Thompson. much to Mrs. Jamieson‘s surprise and delight. There was a sing-song. Mrs. Anne Empringham. one of the convenors for Historical Research. gave a fascinating talk on a number of objects from the home: china from Mrs. Bone’s household that had come across the ocean two genera- tions ago, shawls . . . a sum- mer one and a winter one . which had belonged to Mrs. Empringham‘s grandmother. a pocket for valuables which but- toned onto the petticoat band under the skirt: a child‘s handkerchief which her father had had as a boy, and the purse that belonged to her childhood with an American silver dol- lar in it. given to her when she was five! (It is interesting to note that Mrs. Empringham attended Langstaff school as did her father, her son and her grandson.) There was also a butcher’s bill which made every one nostalgic . . . two and a half pounds of steak for twenty- five cents! Mrs. Anne Heslop. the other convenor. read an excerpt from a paper of 1950, about the his- tory of the Women's Institute. and another from the back of the .United Church calendar about the old Methodist grave- yard. Mrs. Doris Donaldson gave a reading which might have been entitled “How Not to Chair a Meeting." It was most amus- ing. Mrs. Neil reminisced about her time in the chair. The tea party with a beauti- ful cake decorated in the WI colors. such good sandwiches and cookies. and a lovely look- ing table followed. Tongues wagged you may be sure. The only sad note was when the group remembered Mrs. Ernie Butt who passed away recently. She had married again only four years ago and had moved to Willowdale. For 40 years previously she had lived in Langstaft’. Mrs. Frances Sin- clair. and had twice been presi- dent of the Institute. CHURCH NEWS Holy Trinity Anglican Church Last; Wednesday evening the second of the series on Family Life Education was held at. Holy Trinity Church. The subject was ‘Let's Work It Out: To- gether.” and the very lively discussion was led by Roy Ross. Neuropsychoiogist, Sunnybropk ospital. He had chosen four topics and prepared a statement with Everybody‘ There . high with. disagree with, or .iust to ‘consider thoughtfully. The first Herctofore she. has been con- sidered in her role of child bearing and rearing, and has been brought up to do so. Now since she lives so much longer and since much of the training of children is being taken over more and more by institutions. she finds herself with skills which are no longer useful. Some of the points raised were that, women who are conâ€" tented with the role of being mothers. feel pressured by pub- lic opinion. to take on another career: There are plenty of ways for her to use her skills . . . in Volunteer work . . . and there is always need for that . . . and also in spare time occupations which can be satisfying. reward- ing. and challenging: Then there ' are women , who have specialized training for careers and are apt to be unhappy be- cause of this waste of skill. Solutions have to suit various situations and people, and some- times there doesn’t seem to be any easy solution. But. much of the frustration could be avoided if the two sexes were not prepared for different roles. but both prepared for a share in the homemaking. Children should be trained as people, not as male or female. The second topic had for a jumping off place the fact that insurance companies charge premiums for drivers under a certain age. 'This is so often a cause for friction. Much of the friction can be avoided by preparing for this well in advance. by talking over what to do about it. and by making decisions which take in the whole family and its needs. Of course this applies to other“ situations too. The third tepic had to do with the traditional attitude that men must be trained to be ag- gressive and women accom- modating and submissive. for sake of maintaining the species. This has had an influence on sports and attitudes in home and community. Young lpersons are taught to play on certain roles because of their sex. But aggressive- ness is not really a sign of mas- culinity. Young children have certain qualities ‘because of their sex which 'are normally expected, but they should not be fostered and cultivated. The last topic was to do with the role of the family in regard to the children. At first it must provide for the care and shelter but its goal is to help the chil- dren take over these responsi- bilities for themselves as they grow up. Often the family is not in a position to offer the‘ children help. Children are exposed to experiences by today’s media at a far earlier age than their par- ents. and also the horizons are greatly stretched. At the same time they do not usually have a greater sense of responsibility. So this sense must be develop- ed, and the bonds must. be loosened. Parents must be con- tinually aware that example is far and away beyond their words of advice. Christ the King Lutheran Church l l ‘ Christ the King Lutheran Church. met. last.
