     “I am proud to be the first person to call you my fellow Canad- 
     
     ians”, was the officiating Judge’s remarks to the nine persons who 
     
     appeared before him to receive their Canadian citizenship in the 
     
     Law Courts Building, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. 
     
    

    
     Our new citizens c'ome from the Netherlands, Lebanon and 
     
     Germany. 
     
    

    
     In conclusion, His Honour welcomed the presence of two re- 
     
     presentatives of the P.E.I. Women’s Institutes, one being the Prov- 
     
     incial President. This was the first occasion that this organization 
     
     had been officially represented at such a ceremony. 
     
    

    
     The Constitution and Bye-Laws of the P.E.I. W.I. were pre- 
     
     sented to the lady members of the group by Mrs. Philip Matheson, 
     
     Provincial President. The gentleman received a similar momento 
     
     from Mrs. David Mutch, Provincial Convener of Agriculture on be- 
     
     half of the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture.

     A HOME IN A NEW COUNTRY 
     
    
   
   
    
     Four new Canadian Institute members, along with their fam- 
     
     ilies received citizenship papers at a session of the Citizenship court 
     
     at Charlottetown, RBI in 1962. Mrs. Lois Dewar, Pres. of W.I. was 
     
     privileged to attend this touching ceremony, and presented the ladies 
     
     with W.I. hand books and welcomed the group into the household of 
     
     Canadians. 
     
    

    
     - The status of “Canadian Citizen” has been available for only 
     
     the past fifteen years. It is possible that for a Canadian, a certifi- 
     
     cate of Citizenship does not hold the importance that it does for one 
     
     who must renounce loyalty to his former homeland, and voluntarily 
     
     transfer allegiance to the land of his choice. This change is not made 
     
     easily, but the sense of “belonging” which a Citizenship Certificate 
     
     gives is a great satisfaction to those who will from now on make the 
     
     Three River Area, Prince Edward Island, Canada, their Home and 
     
    
   
   
    
     Country.
