'PAGE SIX LZ THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1947 'Citizenship Explained to Parents By Former "We, as citizens, need to 'get back to a God-fearing and God- loving people, and thereby make Canada a true democracy," stated Mr, Gordon Davis, former mayor of Oshawa, in an address to the members and friends Jt Mary Street Home and School Associa- tion, en Monday evening. Mr. Davis chose as his subject "Citizenship" in which he ex- plained the differemt types of governments--those under dicta- torship and those run by the peo- ple. He said that we should be thankful that we are living in a democracy and that we should take full advantage of the privil. eges afforded in this type of government. He went on to say that, as citizens, we should know the men for whom we vote; know what they stand for; know their characters, Mr. Davis would like to see free education in Canada, as many brilliant men have been Jost because .they have been un- able to afford a further educa- tion, He said that he would like to see free hospitalization, as many a serious operation has "been put off until it was too late, , only because of financial diffi. «culties. He said that we could do much to alleviate this suffering and financial anxiety if we would unite to that end, We must not backslide but forge ahead if we do not wish to lose the privil- eges we have, If we are loyal citi- zens we will see that there are no boundaries between our cities and our provinces; our provinces and our Dominion; or between the Dominion and other coun- tries. In a democracy, we - all work for each other, Mr. Anderson, as chairman of the men's committee, introduced Mr, Davis and thanked the fath- ers for coming to the meeting. Mrs. A. E. Collins, president, in- troduced the new home educa- tor, Mr, G. P. Fletcher, who said that he and his committee would endeavour to help the parents in thein home education. Higcom- mittee consists of Mr. K, Y, Etch. er, Mr. Tribble, Mr. A, A. Hurst and one teacher to be chosen. Mrs. Uriah Jones asked for the support of the members for the mewly formed Canadian Associa- tion of Consumers. Mrs. George Jackson, convener for the annual 'bazaar held recently, gave her re- port, She thanked those who #0 generously donated their time to make the bazaar a success. Mr. Lloyd Smith, principal of the school, spoke briefly on the activities of the Canadian Recrea- tion Association and asked that the members take advantage of "4ts services, He then introduced Mr, Charles Jolliffe, one of the teachers from the Oshawa Colle. giate. Mr. Jolliffe sang "The Nightmare Song" from the Gil- bert and Sullivan Operetta, Iolan- the, As an encore Mr. Jolliffe re- cited 'Wr. and Mrs. Ramsbot- tom and Albert'"" which called forth a second encore, "Sam and His Musket." The Junior banner for attend- #nce was won by Miss Fern Led- ett"s room, Grade III, while the enior Banner was won by Mr. Smith's room, Grade VII, Christ< mas Carols ended the program #fter which Junch was served. a - Ba He Touches of Frost On Winter Frocks New York--It's really white, in- mead of off-white or frost white, hat will give a dressed-up look to Jall costumes and to fur coats, and 'they will do wonders in transform- ing a tired costume into something Jovely and new-looking. Hats are 'wonderful for bridge and luncheons when the '"over-the-table" look is #ll-important. Because the shapes sre medium or small, and most of them are simple, these can be worn with street clothes, too.

But it is generally agreed that wom- en were few and far between in financial work until the 1920s. Since then girls have been slip- ping in one by one--and some- times in job lots, At last count there were 43 women general partners in stock exchange firms, At least four of them arrived at topflight jobs by, coming up through the ranks, The number of women who are registered representatives of fi- nancial firms has increased in the past six months from 177 to 210, And at least half a dozen women are investment counsels at the present time, The war, some say, accelerated the pace of acceptance of women in finance, Others claim that "the girls would have gotten there Just | as soon, war or no war." But "with the war, ' women broke at least one Wall Street tradition, They appeared on the floor of the New York stock ex- change for the first time, taking over as pages and quotation clerks, ok Career Training All along the line girls are moving into positions of respon- sibility which previously were regarded strictly as masculine territory. At least three have been chosen by financial firms for special training courses, The work done by girls today is about as varied as the lst of activities performed by the com- panies by which they are employ- ed. And their number is steadily increasing, In banking, women employees rose nationally during the war to "not less than 50 per cent' of total personnel. More than 5,600 women have attained the ranking of bank officers, A breakdown of the total cov- ered "in a recent survey by the Association of Bank Women, shows the following representa- tion of women. in top executive positions: owners or partners 9, chairman of the board 19, direc. tors 41, presidents 117, vice pres- {dents 23, cashiers 474, assistant cashijers 3,867, ana treasurers 17.

Ottawa, Dec. 10--(CP)--Only mother knows how many ice cream cones little Willie ate last week, But it takes the Dominion Bureau of Statistics to come up with the number of cones Cana- dians consume in a year, And the same goes for chewing gum and vinegar. In the first of a series of quar- terly reports showing the current production of the main processed food items in Canada, D.B.S. mathematicians have turned out a batch of figures on nearly every bit of food that slips into the Ca- nadian mouth--right down to the last pickle, And speaking of pickles--dur- ing the first: half of this year 1,834,410 gallons of pickles and, relishes were produced in Can- ada, 667,411 below the corre- sponding period jn 1946. That chunk of gum now may be just another wad under the table top, but chances are it was part of a package which helped 'to make up the 3,301,268 boxes manufactured in Canada during April, May and June. The figure represents a comparable increase of close to 1,000,000 boxes, He who ate an ice cream cone in 1946, ate another in 1947 At any rate there were 130,647,000 cones turned out during the first six months of this year, a figure Scouting Develops Individualit, Leader Tells H & S Association When' s He Coming?

Just what put the spirit this year in cider. vinegar, the D.B.S. doesn't say, but it does report 273,044 gallons were turned out during the first six months of 1947, almost seven times the quantity produced for the corre- sponding period a year ago. GROWING OLDER As science masters disease and the average life-span lengthens, the proportion of older people in Can- ada's population is growing rapidly. Accordingly, governments and lead- ers in public 'thinking are calling for more of that "old-fashioned" respect and care for the elders, which once marked people of breed- ing, so that the twilight of life may be brightened for all. Those young- sters who get 'steamed up" over lcoking after a "bunch of old fog- gles" are reminded that they, too, may be cld some day. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Paint and putty smudges on win- dows can be scraped off with a raz- or or other sharp-edged instrument, then rubbed with turpentine to re- move the remaining spots. Mr. Leonard Knight, Scout Exe- cutive Commissioner, was the guest speaker at the regular ting of Ritson Home and School Association held last Mon. day evening, with a large number present, Mr. J C. Fetterly, prin. cipal of the school, introduced the speaker who chose as his to- pic "The Character and Spiritual Building of a Boy." Mr. Knight stated that, as par. ents, people are interested in hoys and girls and as scout leaders, they are interested in bringing out the individuality of the boys and girls. As a baby, the boy be. gins to develop character and ceaseless activities' but as he grows older he changes and de. velops a strong imagination and can pretend that a chair is an airplane or any object that he wishes it to be. Mr, Knight stated that at this stage was the time to teach him obedience, This he can obtain by joining the Cubs and he develops character, Then at the age of 12 he can become a Scout. There he learns loyalty, said the speaker, and it gets him outdoors where he learns many of the essential facts of life, In the Scouts the boy is taught gpiritual faith, and, continued Mr, Knight, it is now that every boy, no matter what his faith, is taught to treasure this faith through life so that it will help him at all times. In closing, Mr, Knight stated that there are real. ly no bad boys, only those who have had no opportunities. Following the address, Mrs, C. W. Crozier thanked Mr. Knight, not only for his talk but also for four Christmas selections whicn he played on the concertina he. fore he spoke, A piano solo was given by Miss Dorothy Joynt, Mr. Fetterly showed a movje called the Centre. ville Story which was about a small community and how it can thrive. The meeting was opened with O Canada and the Lord's Prayer an& Mrs. T, C. Watson presided during the meeting, Class roll was won by Miss Iso. bel Allen's room, Grave VI, and Miss Madeline Kelley's room, Grade I. The meeting closed with The King.
