WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1948 "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE \. PACE F: Says Our Women United in Purpose Can Raise Standard of Living Fthelwyn Hobbes, whose voice and personality are known to wom. en across the country through her day to day broadcasts over the CBC, has a conviction that home- makers swing a big weight in Can- ada's economic and social affairs today . . . EthIwyn likes to put it her way, "As mother goes, so goes the nation." What is an adequate standard of living? Mrs. Hobbs says econ- omists and statisticians continue to tussle with that question and fail to come up with any concrete ans- wer. On the other hand, she thinks that women know what they mean by it: "Women want a decent home, enough money to feed and clothe and educate their children, They want a measure of security, and a little fun." Wanting and Getting Speaking at a membership cam- paign rally of the Canadian Asso- ciation of Consumers in Toronto recently, Mrs. Hobbes emphasied "the difference between wanting and getting." She pointed out that one thing learned during the war is that ne man or woman or country, lives unto himself alone. So small has the world become that we are all dependent upon each other, she ex- plained. "It seems to,me our hope of raising the living standard is not through each one trying to pull himself up by his bootstraps, but rather by all of us working to- 'gether, as a great influencial and well-informed unit. "Give us a million women united in purpose and organized in a broad, representative assiciation and you'll see the standard of liv- rise from one coast to the other." Booms and Depressions Referring to the newly formed Canadian Association of Consum- ers, the commentator indicated that it could mean a great deal to the woman in the home. "It will bring to her work fresh inteset and im- petus, opening up new horizons, educating her to understand the complex and interlocking factors which cause bqoms, and depres- sions, high price and low, scarci- ties and abundance," said Mrs. Hobbes. "Equally important," she con- tinued, 'is what the individual woman can mean to the association --by first joining it and then by devoting what time she can to help. ing it grow in strength. A few thousand women who realize its implications from the beginning are not enough. The Association of Consumers needs them by the hun- dred thousand. Mrs. Hobbes termed. the CAC "women's second chance to learn, to grow, to work together, and to become once more an important link in Canada's economic chain." She said that the wartime expe- rience of Canadian women work- ing through the consumer branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board enriched the women and gave them the first glimpse of what they could accomplish if they pulled together. Prices and Wages "What we women at home woe- fully lack is education for our post as housewives. We need to know more about what we are buying, and why. We should realize that our buying habits are a tremendous force in the economic life of the nation. We should understand the all-important tie-up between prices and wages.", Mrs. Hobbes made it clear that Canadian women today have it in their hands to develop a national consumer association that will pay off in dividends of cash and divi- dends of know-how. 'With the weight of 56 leading national wom- en's organizations behind it, I think the Canadian Association of Consumers is something every woman in the country should sup- port by paying her 50c membership fee now." It was pointed out at the meet- ing that fees may be sent, along with name and address, direct to Canadian Association of Consum- ers, headquarters, Station B, Box 500, Ottawa, or they may be paid at the Ontario Shore Gas Co. of- fice on King Street West.

Women of the community were so delighted with the original Fashion Show sponsored last November, that plans were put underway immed- iately following it to meet popular request and offer something of special interest to feminine hearts-- a topic to help enhance personal appearance. Highlights on Hairstyling by Col- lette will introduce everything that is new, as well as styles essential to everyday good grooming, Jeanne McCabe, consultant operator, pro- prietor 'of Collette Beauty Salon, is lending the full co-operation of her shoppe under her personal super. vision, to the end that everyone at- tending will feel personally bene- fited, not only by hints on hairdos, but a few lucky ladies will receive some phase of beauty culture dur- ing the program. Twenty or more hair-styles will be displayed, including some models especially invited who not only will display coiffures but will wear some of the latest in clothes offered by local stores. Also members of the Guild serving at the Table Tea will have their hair arranged in the style best suited to each personality. Col- lette operators also will display ete own particular style of hair- 0. Intermingling items of entertain- ment are planned for the affair as well as a continuous musical back- ground. The tables will be arranged about the hall accommodating four at each table so those planning to attend are invited to make up par- ties and reserve accordingly, or those attending singly or in pairs will be taken care of to meet their needs. Of necessity the number of tables is limited so to avoid disappoint- ment early planning is suggested. It is promised that the afternoon and evening sessions will be identi. cal, Mrs. Garnet White is convener of tickets, which will be made avail- able through any member of the Guild or at the Beauty Salon. Says Country Women Have Mutual Kinship Toronto, Jan. 14--(CP)--Country- women all over the world have something in common, a feeling of friendship for each other and sim- ilar interests, Amy Kane, Women's Institute representative from New Zealand, told Ontario members here yesterday. "Women on the farm take a lar- ger part in the farm life than wo- men in the city can in its business life," she said. "They are wrapped up in the whole business of it, from milking the cows to caring for the | poultry." Where country women share farm problems with their husbands, city women "certainly" do not take a similar interest in their husbands' business. "Because they feel they are an important and necessary part of farm life, these women are happy," sald Miss Kane. "They are too busy to be anything but contented." Miss Kane, whose home is in Wellington, N.Z., said the Women's Institute there has a strong grip because the country is predominant- Officers Installed at ,Of Ladies' Aux. nnual Din: anadian Le: The installation of the officers and two successful bazaa:- of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion, Branch 43, took place last night in the happy atmosphere of the annual dinner. Escorted to the head table by Mrs. Leonard Weeks, the officers, many of whom had been re-elected, made their pledges to Mrs. William Evans, a past president, who was herself installed by Mrs. Ben Jack- lin. Mrs. Evans also installed Mrs. William Collins as chaplain to the auxiliary and Mrs. Marsh as assistant pianist. Following the officers, the executive committee was installed and Mrs. Evans call- ed upon the branch members to ive their promise of /fidelity and uty. Celebration This Year After the Iastaiiation, Mrs. Joseph Wilson resumed the presi- dent's place at the head table and made a sho:t speech in which she thanked the officers and members for their co-operation in the past year. She reminded them that the auxiliary was non-secretarian and non-political, and that their ranks were open to any who had worn a service uniform. She announced that the branch would be 21 years old in July, having been founded. on July 25, 1927, and that a birth- day celebration would be held this summer. ' Mrs. William Evans, past presi- dent, urged the members to bring along at least one new member each, so that Oshawa would not take second place to other branches, particularly St. Thomas. As its first honorary president, Mrs. T. K. Creighton spoke en- couragingly to the members and thanked them for the distinction they had given her. She explained that a new ruling prohibited an active member from being an hon- orary member and as she would much rather be an active member she was relinquishing the position of honorary president that she had enjoyed for so many years. How- ever, she was most happy with her active membershihp, she said, and wished her fellow members a happy and prosperous new year. Executives Honored Mrs. Charies Langfield and Mrs. James Cramb, former members of the executive committee each re- ceived a gift from the president in recognition of their many years of faithful service. ih Those seated at the head table included Mrs. Joseph Wilson, president; Mrs. William Evans, immediate past president; Mrs. Ben Jacklin, a past president; Mrs. T. K. Creighton, a former honorary president; Mrs. William Collins, chaplain; Mrs. Charles Lamb, secretary; Mrs. Dan Guilt- inan, first vice-president; Mrs. C. A. Vermoen, second vice-president; Mrs. William Reed, treasurer, and Mrs. Frank Davey, standard bearer. A tribute of a minute's silence was paid to the memory of Mrs. Robert Ward and Mrs, Charles Baker. Before the hearing of the annual reports Mrs. Norman Fisher sang two songs accompanied by Mrs. Carlton Morgan. Mrs, Lamb stated ip her annual report that the brangh had held 42 business meeting during the year and that the membership stood at 238. There had been sev- eral social events and auxiliaries been held. Contributions to Chari' In the treasurer's repor.
