On the reservation, Indian famiâ€" lies live in three room dwellings with outdoor plumbing. ‘"There is no place to study, no books, no papers and no magazines. No one can blame the educated Indian for wanting to leave the reservations To what would they go? Many reservations are not suited for agriâ€" cultural or economic development, the living conditions are certainly not desirable." He explained that teachers on reservations are employed by the Department of Indian Affairs and, as such, become civil servants, more or less. He added, "I would have had to take a $2,000 per year salary cut if I accepted a school supervisory posiâ€" tion with the Department of Indian Affairs, and I have a wife and family to support."

"The education given Indian chilâ€" dren should be such that they may make a choice between remaining on the reservation or becoming integrated Canadians,. Teachers in reservation schools should be the best, and the Department of Indian Affairs should be able to compete with any school board to obtain the best teachers available. "One of the encouraging developâ€" ments is that on some reservations library study centres are being built so those children attending integrated schools off the reservaâ€" tion will have a‘place to study and do their homework," Currie said.

And talking of skirts, which seem to be getâ€" ting shorter all the time, only the very young and leggy or those lucky women with perfect legs can wear above the knee skirts with tight high boots or high heels, without looking hideousâ€"and good luck to ‘em. Of course, fashion doesn‘t expect women of my age and shape to wear above the knee skirts, but even day dresses and office skirts are getting shorter and soon it won‘t be possible to get anything in the stores with the skirts a couple of inches below the knee, which is the most becoming length for most women. Of course, I‘m a hopeless prospect as far as haute couture is conâ€" cerned; I think the whole, towering, tittering edifice is unnecessary and unworthy of being taken seriously by intelligent people. I feel the same way about other sacred cows such as hockey and the automotive industry. The fashion industry‘s main motive may have been to beautify women once upon a timeâ€"now it‘s out to bamboozle them. I‘m still wearing skirts and dresses bought several years ago when everything was longer; I also have some up to date clothes which are much shorter and I wear them all without worrying whether I‘m fashionable. As long as they‘re clean, in good condition, suitable for what I intend to do in them and reasonably flattering, nothing else seems important. (Of course, I do like pretty lingerie.) I know this attitude must be incomprehensible to women who would rather be dead than unfashionable, but that‘s the way I am, Mummyâ€"o. When T. consider how short life is and how far behind I am already with my schedule,"how can I possibly waste time on the whinnyings of the fashion experts? All I ask is clothes that are eary to wear, make me look more attractive (i.e. emphasize my good pointr and ignore the others) and reasonable in price. Do you hear that, Yves dear boy ? P.S.: My idea of hell is to be condemned to attend a perpetual fashion show and to have to listen forever to the faintly bilious yukking of fashion commentators. There is also the op art look in clothes, which goes with short hair with large fishâ€"hooks of hair which curl around each cheek (kissâ€"curis, we used to call them) or with straight, long, untidy hair which covers as much of the face as possible. Op art clothes are usually black and white (the favourite colours for op art) and shapeless, like expensive overalls. They are certainly easy to wear but have no more sex appeal than op art itself, though I must say that the skirts have one advantage over other stylesâ€"they are often ankleâ€"length. But sex appeal in this case, I mean clothes which enhanceâ€"the soft feminine look, which gently emphasize the special shape of the female bodyâ€"the romantic look. This doesn‘t only mean full tiere evening gowns, large filmy hats and ruffled georgette blouses. < It means clothes which acknowledge that, for better or worse, a woman has a bosom, a waist and hips; it means elothes which are becoming and appropriate for what you do in them, clothes you can put on and be comfortable inâ€"but not so functional that you look as though you have just escaped from anâ€"institution. It doesn‘t, on the other hand, mean the type of clothes that Jayne Mansfield wears, which certainly reveal her large measurementâ€"and also her teenyâ€"weeny Another awful example is the Mondrian look from the madhouse of Yves St. Laurent. Yves is that delicate male (nominally male anyâ€" way) dressâ€"@signer who had a nervous breakdown when he had to go into the French army with all those rough poilus who appreciation of fashion is confined to basic coverings like bikinis and Gâ€"strings. Anyâ€" way, Yves‘ mummy gave him a book about the Dutch painter for Christâ€" mas and Yves went gaâ€"ga about the whole thing and his new collection will be based on the look of Mondrian‘s canvasses. (Wait till he disâ€" covers Salvador Dali.) This means straight black vertical lines and neat little boxes of colour. Typically Dutch in that it‘s neat, clean and cheerful, even if it has less emotion than a log table. This means that the Mondrian look will filter through the various fashion levels until it even reaches the small towndress stores and we shall see highâ€"school girls wearing stark shifts in geometric designs in bright Mondrian colours (this is one of the few positive things you can say about Mondrianâ€"his colours are brilliant and attractiveâ€"no murky purple or fibrillating fuchsia). But any clothing which a dress designer can create based on Mondrian will make a woman look as if she‘s wearing a poster. This is fine for teenagers who can get away with looking like walking posters, but it won‘t do much for us middleâ€"aged mums, who also have to wear clothes, even if the fashion designers have overlooked this. Then there is the Swiss cheese look which seems especially prevalâ€" ent in bathing suits; since public opinion seems to be against anything completely topless, designers are going as far as they can in other direcâ€" tions and revealing most other parts of the female anatomy, regardless of whether it‘s becoming or not. The smartest bathing suit this summer will have large differentâ€"sized holes all over, giving the impression that giant moths have been at work, and although there will be less material used than ever, it will cost you more to buy one of these. This is how high fashion works, but don‘t ask me to explain it. You need a superb figure to wear this sort of suit, if only because it attracts so much attenâ€" tion, just as you do to wear‘a bikini, and my advice to you Mabel, is to stick to your old navy tank suit as I‘m going to. Workmanlike, if not spectacular, and afterâ€"all, you can aswim in it without being afraid that something vital is going to pop out of a hole. Cou this time round, you must get rid of your bosom, have spindly l.lttlc":: legs and straight flyâ€"away little girl hair. This is probably a sacrifice but you can‘t achieve a fashionable look without giving someâ€" thing up, even if it‘s only money. to achieve is that of a dimâ€"witted 13 year old.
