WILSON of Alexander Bivd., who will celebrate next Monday the 50th anniversary mairiage. of their ~--Photo by Campbell's Studio This World (By the Woman's Editor) We Live In "Unless some means can be swiftly found to establish and keep peace here and everywhere our homes, our children and all else may be destroyed. This tragedy makes all other needs in the ~ modern world appear secondary in impor- tance, and the role which a modern woman plays in her home becomes the way in which she attempts by observation, study, understanding and action to contribute to the peace of the world." The above is taken from "The Modern Woman's Place in the Home," an essay for which a New Hampshire professor's wife has just won a prize of $1,000 offered by the Atlantic Monthly and the General Federation of Women's Clubs, The subject of the essay is im- nt to all women today, The writer, Mildred Welch Cranston, be- Heves it is so important that she says, "If the ushering in of the atomic age means that the one more chance to make and keep peace has in truth become the last chance, T am more than ever going to study this younger generation-- the influences and attitudes brought to bear upon them--knowing that they are both the hope and the des- pair of the future. They are, in fact, the only means we have to keep the peace we now intend to make." 'Re-examine Curriculum In common with many parents and teachers all over this contin- ent, she declares, "In the light of the world's new and pressing needs even the curriculum of the elemen- tary schools needs re-examination, to the end that what our children study and the way in which they behave in schoo) shall contribute this The gap between the haves and the have-nots, the writer believes, begins to appear in early high school years when economic press- ure divides the children who pre- pare to enter university from those who are preparing now to earn a living. The result, the writer asserts, is that within 10 years, the white- collar workers and the laborers mis- understand and accuse each other. Our very promotion of night schools, labor colleges and such are an acknowledgment of the defect in -m, 4 J our educational systems, the writer maintains, She therefore makes a twofold plea: first, that every student should 'have an opportunity to de- velop his capacity regardless of his economic level; second, that the fu- ture laborers should have a chance to study cultural subjects in the ordinary schoo] and that the pros- pective university student should acquire some manual skill. fcono- mic peace is out of the question so long as each of these two classes of students studies exclusively the practical or the cultural. Education No Cure Race prejudice, we once thought, eould be cured by education, Mrs. Cranston says, and she proceeds to point out that racial discrimination often reaches its peak in one of the ONTARIO TILE OSHAWA so-called most "liberal" colleges. Blame for this deplorable attitude she places upon early home and community attitudes and the cus- toms of the school social groups, and she pledges herself to investi- gate this attitude among youth. We can't do better than quote part of the closing paragraph of the essay: "Social distinctions, racial dis- criminations, class prejudices, mis- understandings, rivalries--all' the material for creating a war are present in our own communities. As we deal with the causes and cure of war on the international scale, so we must grapple with them in town, in school, and in home. There is, furthermore, a sense of urgency today, a reminder that there may be so little time in which to build a peace that will last. This gives us a new incentive which should develop additional insights and inspired techniques. It is a job for us all, put especially for wom- en, whether as the mothers of the oncoming generation or as their teachers and friends. We may fail. | Even if we correct the evils I have listed and many more, war may yet come and all of us be destroyed to- gether--aristocrat, true democrat, employer, laborer, Jew, and Jew- baiter. This is a risk we must take, but it is worth the venture." Canadians to Choose A Woman of the Year Toronto, July 11--(CP)--A Can- adian woman of the year will be chosen and given a monetary a- ward by the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Federation's 10th biennial convention decided yesterday. The winner will be selected by an ap- pointed committee which will give scope to all careers, achievements and ages. Prime Minister Mackenzie King was urged by telegram to take im- mediate action to endorse and sponsor a general campaign in Canada to provide relief in devas- tated areas of Europe. Viewing atomic energy as a "threat to humanity," the conven- tion asked the government to take the lead in assuring that the new discovery be used for the benefit and not the destruction of mankind and urged that the secret be shared with all governments on their un- dertaking to renounce its use for destructive purposes. Other resolutions asked for equal- ity of the sexes in regard to civil service positions and remuneration; that contributory retirement insur- ances be considéred by the govern- ment; that largest exemptions in lower brackets; minimum wages for women; retaining of price control. After 16 years of carrying on as an independent national federation, the Business and Professional Wo- men decided to join forces with the National Council of Women.

Shopping Bags 109, Ottawa, July 11 -- (CP) -- The Prices Board announced today that production of wrapping paper, shop. ping bags and brown envelopes will be curtailed in an effort to prevent "a bottleneck which is looming in Canada's food and construction programs due to a shortage of mul- ti-wall paper bags," Additional relief for multi-wall paper bag manufacturers, who have been unable to meet the "extraor- dinary demand," would be provided by a reduction in the quantity' of kraft paper which thay be exported. Officials explained that multi- wall bags are being used extensively in the packaging of foodstuffs for both domestic and overseas markets and for "essential items" in build- ing construction. Na Many Tons Saved A spokesman said the gmount of basic kraft allocated to manufac- turers of wrapping paper and shop- ping bags.,would be cut by 10 per cent in a move expected to save 1,400 tons on each product or a to- tal of 2,800 tons. Another 100 tons would be saved by a small cut in al- locations to manufacturers of brown envelopes. The "chief extensive single user" of multi-wall bags is the cement in- dustry, the announcement said. In that industry alone production was and Sunderland.

Woman-Minister Officiates At Minister-Brother's Wedding Stately summer greens with blue and white delphiniums formed an attractive background for the*wed- ding last Tuesday afternoon in the United Church of Victoria Square, Ont., of Lieut.

This is the first time in the his- tory of the United Church of Can- ada that an ordained minister with a charge of his own, has taken his marriage vows before his sister, also an ordained minister with her own charge in Western Canada. The bride was a Nursing Sister with the Canadian Army for 6 years, 4 of which were spent in the Euro- pean theatre of war where she was connected with No, 2 C.C.S.

Worry is Not Price Of Suit, But Finding By KAY REX Toronto, July 11 -- (CP) -- The girls looking for a new fall suit can stop worrying now over the price. | Find the suit first. Tailors here say an order now may* produce a suit for Christmas. One large establishment, through lack of material, won't take orders before September and wholesalers report more difficulty obtaining suiting than during the war. These same wholesalers say the mystery of it is that right now the output of woollens in Canada 'is substantially above the 1939 pro- duction level. Manufacturers' agents claim prices on British imports likely will soar noW% that import licences no longer are necessary, but in the Canadian field where controls exist they will not climb higher than 10 per cent. Give Reasons 'The fact that more Canadians have more money on hand and want to spend it on good woollen clothing is one of the chief rea- sons for the big demand. A second reason--the reduction in civilian production during the last six years resulted in the dis- appearance of "floating inventor- ies" of fabrics and garments, which formerly formed a backlog through- out the industry. Shelves of manu- facturers, jobbers and retailers were stripped bare during the war. While Canada's production of woollen and worsted is increasing it is "still behind the plesent insati- able demand, because of shortage of tops and yarns which is due to a labor shortage," the Price Board says. Aux'y to Sgt.'s Mess © Decides to Continue 'Baskets of fruit and cigarettes will still be sent to the boys in mili- | tary hospitals, the members of the | Ladies' Auxiliary to the Sergeant's Mess, 11th Armoured Regiment, Ont.

Sanders submitted a report on the fruit sent to military hospitals dur- ing the past month, The Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Ce- cil Pearn is president, will continue as a peace-time organization to give a little cheer to the boys in the hos- pitals. A tea was held at the home of Mrs, Sanders, Simcoe Street North, to raise funds for this organization and another will be held July 26, at the home of Mrs, Charles Fry, for the same purpose.
