"1 v a - v= », Life Without Woman Fails ®To Lure Seitlers In Quebec Ruebec (CP)--Dan Cupid is have ing a tough time in Quebec's north- western frontier areas. It is. one of the problems faced by the Quebec government. Colonization societies say young settlers and the sons of successful settlers are discouraged because so few girls are willing to share the task of raising 4 family in the new farming territories of Quebec. They estimate there are three young men eligible for marriage for every girl in the settlement villages. In most cases, the girls would rath- er marry city youths than young men setting up homes on new land. A spokesman for the federation of 17 Roman Catholic diocesan so- cieties recruiting and encouraging pioneers says a possible solution is to encourage young women to serve as domestics in the homes of doc- tors, government -agronomists and other officials in Northwestern Quebeg, Possibly one of the basic difficul- ties is that a settler is still looked upon as a pauper in Quebec because of colonization programs organized for unemployed during depression years, Actually, 30 per cent are people able to finance their own estab lishment. People who have seen settlers' farms know many now are profitably serving a growing mark- et in the region's booming mining towns. The government is ready to spend millions on land settlement and re- ligious organizations devoted to the social welfare of settlers. It has boosted its health services in colonization districts by -main- taining nurses--essential where no doctors are available to assist birihs. Teachers are still scarce but ev- ery effort is made to provide j'ade- quate education to children." The government's approach to opening up new lands has changed drastically since 1887 when settle- ment was started to offset the movement of farmers to the cities. Hit-and-miss tactics of early days now are avoided because lots are classified by farm experts long be- fore a new settler arrives. Agronomists describe Abitibi soil as rich and able to yield for a long time, Settlers are advised to con- centrate on dairy farming because feed grains and hay grow best. Be- cause of cold weather, vegetables, except potatoes, grow with diffi- culty. ~ Uniform for School Girls ® Seen as Economical Move Nanaimo, B.C. (CP) -- High school girls should dress in some kind, of uniform, trusiee Bruce Armstrong believes. It would tend to keep their minds off the opposite sex, help them apply themselves more at their studies, but above all would be wel- comed as an economy move by their parents, he said. Making his suggestion "off the record" he received so much en- Couragement from the board that his statement was made public. Public reaction, however, is sought before the board will formally deal with the proposal. Armstrong said two parents had spoken to him about it and he has {discussed it with 'several others, all of whom endorsed the plan. At | present, he said, girls have to vie with one another in matters of dress. Those unable to have enough changes got inferiority complexes. Trustee C.A. Kelly, Lantzville, B.C. Councilmen Threaten to "Force" said that as a bachelor he refused to vote on such a plan. Supervising principal Jack Litch came into the meeting as the discussion ended. "Don't be silly," was his mutter- ed comment. FIND BOAT CUSHION Meaford (CP)-- An air cushion found along the desolate Georgian Bay shoreline near here Monday has been identified as belonging to a 19-foot sailboat in which two Collingwood men have been missing | since Sunday. Little hope is held that seven search aircraft, a fish- ing tug and an army ground party will find Thomas Fudge, 74, and John Komph, 29, alive.
