The survey, made 18 months | ago on the role of women in Leb- anon, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Syria was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, said Margaret Hyndman, Toronto lawyer and president of the fed- eration. "Could the recommendations of the report have been implemented earlier, I think the present Mid- dle East situation need not have arisen," Miss Hyndman said "That is, with more educational faciliti}s and with a more ep- lightenexd public opinion this would not have happened. "Everything that has happened in the Middle East has under- lined the; need for action along the lines\ suggested by the re- port." WEST cAN HELP The survey, conducted by Ruth F. Woodsmiall and Charlotte John- son, suggests western women can help and dlirect women in the Arab states, Co-operation between women of the West and the Mid-| dle East, it 'says, cannot fail to| produce benefits of considerable | value to both groups. Arab women, the survey found, are eager to 'play the dual role] of serving thei communities and| influencing public and government action. They are discarding the veil, symbol of their inferior place in| society, and are assuming re- sponsibilities and taking an in- creasing part in public life.

Professional women's clubs were found to be non-existent and it was felt that business and pro- fessional women's clubs should be | established, which would event-| ually join with the international federation Miss Hyndman said that, view of recent developments the area, the federal will have to reassc the situation there in a few months and decide on a course of action "Nothing is changed," she said, 'the need for action is still there." She said the authors of the sur- vey are both from the United States.

TYPES OF TREES What happens if one gets choosy about a Christmas tree and de- | mands a balsam fir. scotch pine, douglas fir or a spruce? These are the most popular types of evergreens sold for |{§ Christmas trees. Their needles, and sometimes the bark, provide | the best means of identification. Forestry experts suggest these tests for identification: the needles can be rolled easily between the fingers, the tree is a spruce. If the needles are soft and won't roll, it's a bal- sam fir Scotch pine has short, bluish green needles growing two needles in a bundle and its bark is reddish - brown. White pine needles grow ir bundles of five, Red pine has long needles and a light red bark. and jack vine is recognized by its short, yellowish- | gre~n needles and greyish-brown bark Both the red and jack pine carry their needles in bundles of two PRESERVING FRESHNESS Buying a balsam fir helps solve the needle - falling problem.
