Mrs. Alexander, Dis­trict No. 4 director, told the 43rd annual conference. " It is upon women that the respon­sibility to replenish this supply rests." Wl members must get en­thused about the organization in each community if they want it to grow and flourish, she went on. " We must pro­gress with the times and show our obligation to the com­munity." In the business session, Mrs. Alexander reported a, n estimat­ed membership of 900 in the 43 branches in District 4. There are 400 members in the seven girls' clubs sponsored by the women's institute. More than $ 15,000 was raised by WI's in the district in 1962, she reported.
