The wilderness was there to be tamed. Certain duties were required of each mem- i ber of the family in order to survive. The ., daughter of the house early became a _ little woman 'engaged most of the time in learning all 'the skills her mother had acquired in housekeeping. Today the mix-master, the electric iron, the automatic washing machine help mother do all the chores. Daughter's programme is likely to be filled anyway with school activities -- curricular and extra-curricular; with clubs and organ: izations; with skating and dancing and skiing; with shows and dates. 3 two 'days a week when she is home she must sleep in because she is so tired from the pace she has set herself all week. Far too often, she is missing a valuable contact with her mother, apart from the help she might learn to give in the home, rrr she needs to find a friend in Mother. Her true loveliness as a 'woman will be in- creased by talking things over with a per- _ son whose judgment has matured with the years'and yet whose love for her will tem- Rubber Stamp Humaniy Big production lines have produced too gi; . much rubber stamp humanity.

If she is used to laying aside her own desires in order to help the general good of the family she will not find it so hard to look after two or thrée young Siigren and help her hus- band as well. : : Our - daughters, like our son are too "often given the centre of the stage when they are little and then demand it all their lives, It is good to know you belong but it is also good to let somebody else get some of the attention sometimes too. The petted girl will think the world has come to an end when she finds after mar- riage that her husband really must spend a good share of his time at his work if he- is to earn a living for all.

Look how glamour- she was! : "A teacher suggested recently that the class imagine they were private secretaries in an office taking dictation from the man- ager. They were to try and get every- thing down with the utmost accuracy. The idea seemed to capture the students' imagination and they set to work with a will--but the teacher gasped to see one girl carefully cross her legs and adjust her skirt-line just above the knees before she picked up her pad and pencil.

But if we look back through history, we find at least 282° Commuiiistic or Socialistic colonies have been set up in North America during the last 150 years -- most of them before World War I gave Lenin and Trotsky their chance in Russia: Of these hoped-for North 'Amuriean "Utopias", only six lasted us long as 25 years. One of the .most enduring was known as the Liano Cooperative Col-_ ony. It was foiinded in '1914 by Job Harriman, a Los Angeles lawyer and Socialist leader who was nominated a. Socialist candidate for vice-presi- dent of the United States in 1900. "Mr. Harriman believed that people - living iff a cooperative colony could "live in harmony, and maintain a higher standard of living, with less labour for its members than could he .veached by any competitive society". The colony was established on land about 45 miles north of Los Angeles. It remained there three years, and then moved to Louisiana. There the, searchers for Utopia bought an aban- doned mill town and 15,000 acres of land, They had money then, because . each member, on joining, was required to buy 2,000 shares of stock in the company, at $1 per share, making a down payment of $1,000¢ to obtain. tools: and equipment. In other words, the fruits of a capi- talistic system were being used and were 'required to pioneer this Socinl- istic venture. Outside sympathizers with 'the experiment also "donated funds to help the colonists. "However, Mr. Harriman soon learn- say more -- 'The movies had taught more -- ed that living in n cooperative society doesn't change human nature. The --mill_town where they lived had some good homes and a number of shacks. Families assigned to shacks com- plained bitterly because others had hetter housing. Some members of the colony work- ed hard. Others loafed, knowing they could obtain supplies from the colony- owned commissary.

But instead of living better than communities where competition was the law of life, as Mr. Harriman had hoped, a survey revealed that "at hil] 'times the colonists were in financial difficulty, and lived from hand to mouth". - By 1928, the colony had lost $800,- completely deteriorated".
