WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES The following contributions were crowded out of the special supplement of Women's Activities pub- lished recently. We regret any disappointment this may have caused as it was not intended to leave. out any organization. There are more articles to come as space permits, --Women's Editor: Phi Phi Chapter. Of Beta Sigma Phi The Phi Phi Chapter was formed just over three years jago and is part of an inter- Inational organization known as \Beta Sigma Phi. The Chapter Consumers' Assoc. Keeps Watch Consumers' Association of Canada aims to provide as strong a voice for consumers as other National Associations give to trade, industry, labor and agriculture. CAC provides a channel for bringing the views of consumers to the attention of governments, producers, trade and industry as well as a return channel for information from these to the consumer. "Committees are set up by National CAC executive to study consumer problems and make recommendations to the proper authorities for their solution. Each member of CAC receive ten bulletins a year giving infor- mation on matters of consumer interest. In the fourteen years since CAC was formed, many im- provements in consumer pro- ducts have been brought about through the efforts of this vol- untary organization. CAC was chiefly responsible for the pass- ing of the Trade Mark and True Labelling Act by parlia- ment in 1949. Four CAC rec- ommendations were incorporat- ed in the new Bread and Flour regulations in 1953. The law making it compulsory for all packaged soap flakes, cleansing powders, and detergents to be marked with the weight of the contents was the result of CAC efforts. Standard sizes in some child- ren's clothing (that is, set meas- urements of chest, hip or waist sizes) are on the market now. CAC did the ground-work for this improvement in children's cloth- Ls, Partly through the efforts of CAC used wadding in children's clothing, and toys, must now be sanitized before it is used. Better grading of foods has been, and still is, a major con- cern of CAC. Here in Oshawa we have inspected meat, but this is not true of all other cities and smaller centres across our province. _ Uniform grading of potatoes across Canada, both as chain store put on a meat dem- onstration at our CAC meeting,! at E. A. Lovell School. The} meat was brought in wholesale cuts, and was reduced to retail) size during the program. Can-| adian inspection and grading) standards will be explained and| the meets will be donated as prizes. Homemakers will pick up| many useful hints on cuts to) buy. \ | At the national annual meet-| ing of CAC start testing of products, similar to Consumers Union in U.S.A our fees, adults.

Over the past year the mem- bers have worked vigorously The Dr. S. J.

In November of 1959, when the 35th Anniversary celebration was bers were present, including, Mrs. Frank Chappell, Mrs. Uriah Jones, Mrs. Herbert Smith, Mrs, Edgar Bradley, Mrs. William Atkinsom.and Mrs. Henry Baldwin. During the part year, under past-president Mrs. D. K. Stiles, speakers on such stimulating subjects as religion, education in our school, safety in schools, Civil Defence and a visit to the public library have been enjoyed at general meetings. One of the highlights of the year was the re-naming of our school at a ceremony in January 1961.

Home and School Councils were originally formed to be the link between individual as- sociations and the Ontario Fed- eration. In addition to plann- ing workshops, leadership train- ing courses and special pro- grams, council officers visit as- sociations in an attempt to guide and assist them in their endea- vors to achieve worthwhile ob- jectives. Councils are non-par- tisan, non-commercial and non- sectarian and make every ef- to size and purpose, is another aim of CAC. Our local CAC branch was fort to co-operate with school interested in organizations con- formed in 1947. hold tw or three open m igs @ year, and this year had two liaison meetings, also. We have liaison members from twenty women's' organizations in our city. In November of 1960 we had a Panel discussion on shoes, with interested participation by those present. In April, Miss Louise Poole of Whitby spoke on the purpose and work of CAC. On the 30th of October a local Friendship Group Of Courtice WA The Friendship Group of Cour- tice United Church WA is one of three subsidiaries of the par- ent group and assists or under- takes projects to raise funds on behalf of the parent WA. Dur- ing the course of the past year, the group has undertaken either on its own or in co-operation with the other groups, the fol- lowing: A variety night con- sisting primarily of local talent with a ladies' quartet from Osh- awa assisting, bakeless cake sales, a spring tea, bazaars, home bake sales, turkey supper, demonstrations of. various wares, catering to weddings and other groups, They gather together in February to celebrate the founding of the group; which will celebrate its third birth- day in 1962. In June instead of a picnic, they dine at a rest- aurant and then return to one of the member's homes for a pleasant and relaxing evening Each December hold a Christ- mas Party and in this way they feel these get togethers are a relaxing period and a stimulus to gu forth with greater effort into the tasks ahead. There are thirty members in the group and are presided over by the following officers: Presi- dent, Mrs. Frank Chumbly, vice- president, Mrs. William Mc- Knight; Secretary, Mrs: L. Ir- vine; treasurer, Mrs. K. Ellis; sick convener, Mrs. P. Dalby; social convener, Mrs. G. Boom- er,; telephone committee, Mrs. J, Osborne; press reporter, Mrs. Sydney Burgess. child 'are. There are thirty-six associa- rural associations. The area covered by Council includes Al- monds on the west, Brooklin, Bowmanville and Hampton on the east. Since its inception) forty years ago, Council has) gone through periods of succes- sive changes in policies. Organized originally by a group made up largely of teach- R. S. McLaughlin. Some of the members during the early years were Mrs. J. H. Valleau, Miss Vida Langmaid, Miss Velma Kaiser, Mrs. Frank Chappell and Mrs. B. C. Colpus. In recent years, Council has instigated the teaching of music in the Oshawa schools as well as the hiring of adult safety guards for crossings considered too dangerous for the Student Safety Patrol. For a number of years, bursaries have been awarded to graduates of grade thirteen who were entering Teachers' College. Council is presently involved in a Library Survvey, a studv to determine the "Equality of Educational Op- portunity in Ontario and in com- piling a report of information about scholarships and bursaries available to local students in both elementary and secondary schools. Council is providing an op- portunity for examination and discussion of the teaching of Oral French in the elementary schools at an open meeting on December 1 in the E. A. Lovell School at 8 p.m. It is looking forward to working closely with the new Mental Health Clinic in the near future and a closer liaison with the Oshawa Board of Education. It is interesting to note that many men and women present- ly engaged in public life started their careers in Home and School Associations.

Women's Auxiliary Mainstay Ot Oshawa General Hospital The year of 1961 has been a year of extra activity for our Auxiliary. We have had our an- nual projects starting with the St. Patrick's Bridge in March which was held afternoon and evening, followed in May by the '"Maytime Dance" which was held in Jubilee Pavilion, In June we held a tea and presentation at the home of Mrs, E. J. Umphrey, Simcoe St. N., in honor of Miss Ber- nice Hawke, dietitian of Osh- awa General Hospital, who was retiring. During the summer our chap- el committee worked assidu- ously on plans for furnishings for the Adelaide McLaughlin Memorial Chapel. This chapel is to be incorporated in the building of the new hospital wing. Also during the summer months, the Executive and Gift Shop committee spent many hours on planning details for The Gift Shop extension and al- terations. At the moment we are work- ing on articles for our "Festi- val of Gifts" which features "Dolls of All Nations', Christ- mas novelties, aprons, home baking and many interesting ar- plus lovely hand-knit garments, ete., on the knitting table, Our services consist of vol- unteers for staffing of Gift Shop and Gift Cart. Training School Committee, which arranges entertainment for our student nurses, also provides food and assistance at students' social functions, and graduation luncheon for the graduating nurses. This is all done with the assistance of Auxiliary members. We also provide magazines and news- papers for the Nurses' Resi- dences, At Christmas, through a spe- cial committee, the Auxiliary provides gifts for every adult and child patient remaining in hospital over Christmas. Our Library carts go through the hospital once a week. This is staffed by one librarian and one Auxiliary member, We also present a cash donation to our Public Library each year. Beyond these various serv- ices our monies raised go to our hospital toward our Build- ing Fund pledge. We appreciate this opportun- ity to say "Thank You" to everyone who has shown inter- est in our work and projects for it is indeed, through them that we can assist in this vital ticles on the treasure table community work.
