AO Eventful Years In The.
Robson Women’s Institute

(1913-1953) Written and Comp!

iled by Eleanor F. ‘Carter

In giving the

'y of the
life of any Women’s Institute, I
fee] we should remember at the
beginning that the first Institute
was organized in 1897 — 56 years
ago — in Ontario, We Canadian
women should feel extremely
proud of this fact when we real-
ize how this movement has
spread throughout
until we now are a part of that
great international movement,
the Associated Countrywomen of
the World,

I have been asked to give a
brief summary, of the life of our
Institute. We are 40 years old this
month, We are proud of this an-
niversary. We are proud to have
three of our charter members
still with us, namely Mrs. -F. E. |
Qborne, Mrs. C. S. Squires and
Miss M. Irwin.

Our Institute has always held
a prominent place in the com-
munity. For many years it was
the only woman's organization
and now, with a number of other
organizations functioning, we
still take an important place in
community affairs,

Our organizational meeting was
held in 1913 in the Baptist ( Church

raised for war charities of one
kind or another, Although the
main object was to contribute our
utmost to the War effort, we did
not let other projects stand still
and in 1942, we completed pay-
ments on the Institute. Park
which we own jointly with the
Farmers’ Institute.

We continued our support of
the Othea Scott Fund; and the
Queen Alexandria Solarium and
in 1943 cleared the deeds for our
Cemetery, Also in 1943, life mem-
berships were awarded to our
five charter members which also
marked our 30th. aniversary.

‘Wholesome entertainment was ,

provided for the teen-age stu-
dents, Also the Children’s Christ-
mas parties were corftinued.
