The first Cancer Clinic to be held on Prince Edward Island took place 
     
     at Western Hospital on October 26, 1978. Members of Alberton Women’s 
     
     Institute assisted by promoting interest and by providing refreshments. 
     
     Because of the success of this clinic, a second one was held in April 1979. 
     
     The cooperation of Dr. Morrisey and Dr. Sethi, along with the staff of 
     
     Western Hospital, resulted in two worthwhile clinics. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ALBERRY PLAINS WOMEN’S INSTITUTE 
     
    
   
   
    
     Alberry Plains Women’s Institute was organized in 1936. It is active 
     
     in all phases of Women’s Institute work. Three charter members are still 
     
     here - some have moved elsewhere or passed away. Seven have been 
     
     given Life Membership. A charter member, Louise MacMillan, was 
     
     elected Provincial President in 1977. 
     
    
   
   
    
     We co—operate with the Vernon River Lions Club, the local 4-H, and 
     
     the AY groups in many of their endeavors. The school, youth groups, the 
     
     ill and elderly are uppermost in many programs. 
     
    
   
   
    
     One of our members, Frances MacMillan, arranged for a cancer 
     
     information meeting in our convention area in 1978. Martina and Mary 
     
     Doyle, and Rita Stewart are very active in local and district 4-H work. 
     
     Centennial Year programs were enjoyed and several Women’s Institute 
     
     anniversaries were celebrated. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ALLISTON WOMEN’S INSTITUTE 
     
    
   
   
    
     Alliston Women’s Institute was first organized in the mid 1920’s. This 
     
     group disbanded after several years and started up again during World 
     
     War II. We have been a going concern since then. 
     
    
   
   
    
     We published a Centennial Cookbook in 1967. In 1973, when our rural 
     
     school became part of Southern King’s Consolidation, we held a reunion 
     
     for everyone who had ever gone to or taught in this school. 
     
    
   
   
    
     For our Diamond Jubilee we invited all members who had ever 
     
     belonged to the Institute to a supper meeting. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Probably our greatest achievement in our years in the community 
     
     was organizing and supervising a self-supporting milk program for 
     
     Southern Kings Consolidated school. In this program we have had fine 
     
     co—operation from many parents and the principal, teachers and 
     
     secretary of the school. 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE BEACH POINT WOMEN’S INSTITUTE THROUGH THE YEARS 
     
     1964-1979. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Beach Point Women’s Institute, the Queen Elizabeth branch, 
     
     was reorganized in December 1963, with the monthly meetings being held 
     
     at the local school.
