bers in the places where they study will have a chance to help the 
     
     Lady Aberdeen scholars. On the other hand Scholarship holders, as 
     
     they travel, will bring to others a new understanding of the com~ 
     
     munities they visit. Through the personal contacts they make, 
     
     they will have support in their future work, and know where to 
     
     get advice, information and assistance when they need them in their 
     
     own communities.

     THE ASSOCIATED COUNTRY WOMEN OF THE WORLD 
     
     CONFERENCE SEPT. 9 - 18,1950 
     
    
   
   
    
     By Mrs. Malcolm MacLeod, Lorne Valley, P.E.I. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Almost thirteen years have elapsed since this memorable con- 
     
     ference and I have not been getting younger. I must apologize if my 
     
     account does not do justice to the occasion. 
     
    

    
     About nine hundred delegates and visitors attended the con- 
     
     ference which was held in Rigsdagen, the Danish Parliament building 
     
     in Christiansborg Castle, Copenhagen. 
     
    

    
     We were welcomed by Queen Ingrid and the Queen Mother 
     
     Alexandrine. Also by the Prime Minister Mr. Hans. Hedtoft. Incident- 
     
     ally King Frederick attended a gala performance of the opera which 
     
     was part of our entertainment. 
     
    

    
     A magnificent reception was held in the City Hall and delight- 
     
     ed comments were heard among the delegates of the warmth and 
     
     Old World atmosphere. 
     
    

    
     Getting down to business in sessions which extended from 
     
     10 am. to 10 p.m. a number of resolutions were dealing with the or- 
     
     ganization of A.C.W.W. and were approved without much alternation. 
     
    

    
     One called on people of the world to support the objectives of 
     
     the United Nations and stressed the need for development of a code 
     
     of international law. 
     
    

    
     Another urged members to keep Dec. 10th as Human Rights 
     
     Day. 
     
    

    
     One fostered “Friendship and Mutual Understanding” 
     
     through study, action and correspondence to ensure a better and 
     
     more united world. 
     
    

    
     Food was a dominant subject of discussion. A resolution de— 
     
     plored the destruction of food surpluses and asked the Food and 
     
     Agricultural Organization to work out plans to make them available 
     
     for a hungry world. 
     
    

    
     Another asked that educational facilities be extended and 
     
     made available to women as well as men. While opportunity was ex- 
     
     tremely limited the delegates considered that an educated mother 
     
     raised the status of the whole family. 
     
    

    
     Representatives from the various countries told of conditions 
     
     in their home lands and what they thought should be done. Education
