As the scene entitled “World War One” began, the curtain opened to 
     
     reveal a group of women knitting and sewing for the men overseas. The 
     
     Women’s Institute chorus, together with the Hillsboro Men’s Chorus, 
     
    
   
   
    
     sang several songs popular at the time. 
     
     President Speaks 
     
    
   
   
    
     The President of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada, Mrs. 
     
     James Haggerty of Napanee, Ontario, addressed the audience in the 
     
    
   
   
    
     fourth episode. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The subject of Mrs. Haggerty’s address was “Kindle a Fire”. She 
     
     compared the members of the Institute to “stokers”, who keep a fire 
     
     burning after it has been lighted by others. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mrs. Haggerty told the audience that she had been one of the judges 
     
     in the Carol Lane Safety Award contest, and paid tribute to Marshfield 
     
     Women’s Institute, which won the Dominion-wide competition. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The next international conference of Associated Country Women of 
     
     the World will be held in Dublin, Ireland, in 1965, Mrs. Haggerty told the 
     
    
   
   
    
     delegates. 
     
     Education Theme 
     
    
   
   
    
     During the episode depicting the Women’s Institutes contribution to 
     
     education on the Island, the awarding of the first home economics 
     
     scholarship was recreated. Mrs. Ian MacLeod the former Dorothy 
     
     Baxter, once again accepted her “scholarship” in the same place the 
     
     award had originally been made. A slide of Montgomery Hall, built 
     
     largely through the influence of the Women’s Institute was shown. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In the health and welfare segment, the story of how the Women’s 
     
     Institute groups had worked towards the construction of the Provincial 
     
     Sanitorium was told. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Sherwood Women’s Institute depicted a group of women 
     
     working for the war effort in the “World War Two” scene. Once again the 
     
     chorus sang three war-time songs. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Women’s Institute was highly instrumental in initiating the 
     
     music festival on the Island in 1946. Marking this event, a chorus sang 
     
     “We Praise Our God” and “Sweet and Low”. The Drama Festival, too, 
     
     was a Women’s Institute project. Mrs. Harold Laird and Mrs. Leslie 
     
     Ramsay, in a dramatic scene, explained how these beginnings had been 
     
     made. One of the Women’s Institute’s most recent moves in this field was 
     
     the obtaining of a provincial drama director several years ago. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Fashion Show 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Bunbury Women’s Institute staged a short fashion show next, 
     
     typifying an achievement day which follows a course given in a district 
     
     by the provincial handicraft directors.
