It became the place where the country women could go and visit. They needed conversation with the town women. It became the centre of the women. The Women's Institute knew that the women in the country needed to learn how to cook and manage and that they also needed to know a bit of home nursing. There was a doctor in Carmangay, but to travel in a horse and buggy for a long way to take your child to a doctor wasn't instant service. So the Women's Institute together with the agriculture department of the government sent out a lady from Ontario. She had a car equipped to show women how to cook; she gave recipes and directions for canning and so on. The car would stop in town for a whole day. The children and parents could inspect the display and get ideas. Then she helped form women's groups so that they could look after themselves in their own communities. That's how the Women's Institutes started in many other places. It filled such a great need. The women needed something. A woman can't live to herself.
