Honored For Work
VEGREVILLE — A fitting cli­max
to her experience as a vice-president
of the Associated Coun­try
Women of the World, was the
surprise received by Mrs. E. E.
Morton in the form of a Corona­tion
Medal, forwarded through
diplomatic channels from Ottawa
by command of Her Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth II, the citation
stating " To be worn in commemo­ration
of the Coronation."
Mrs. Morton modestly admitted
many happy years of association
with the work of the Woxr. ens
Institute, of which organization
she is a past national president,
and expressed her regret at hav­ing
to sever the tie of vice- presi­dent
of the Associated Country
Women of the World, at a con­vention
held in Toronto l a st
month, relinquishing the nomina­tion
for a second term as Canadian
representative
Recalling recent memorable ex­periences'
in Ontario. Mrs. Morton
stated that she was happy to ac­cept
the honor, not for anything
that she had done personally, but
rather " as a symbol of acknowl­edgement
for the splendid work
1 done through the years by the- w; o-
! men of Canada."
