Original Toronto Star caption: It was a ladies' affair. The Women's Institute held its 68th Central Ontario convention last night at the Royal York Hotel and after members finished with their business sessions they settled down to listen to the Sweet Adelines singing group (above) of Brampton. The women (about 400 were there) later did some square dancing. They also met Lorene Archdekin; 19; of Brampton; who is the reigning Ontario Dairy Princess.
