When His Excellency Gen- eral The Right Honorable Georges P. Vanier, DLO, MC, CD, 'Governor-General of Canada and Madame Vanier arrive in Oshawa tomorrow morning, the By JOY MILLER AP WOMEN'S EDITOR NEW YORK (AP)--A small, bouncy man from Indiana, who sketches many of his designs on order pads at the hamburger hangout where he dines, is prob- ably the most influential man in U.S. fashion. At 65, Norman Norell is gen- erally held the dean of Ameri- can designers. He's the winner of every important fashion in- dustry award, rival of Paris as arbiter of American fashion and the most copied man in the U.S. wholesale market. Some of America's most ele- gant women consider him the last word in fashion, Some of America's most be leaguered husbands wish he were the last word, and they'd never have to hear another about" his $300-$4,000 fashions. Norell's clothes may be sold off ready-to-wear racks, Dut they come with couture price tags. In a question-and-answer ses- sion with The Associated Press, the dapper designer tossed off a few opinions that may fur- ther irk the touchy tab-payacz male, braced as he is for the fall fashion spree--such as what Indiana Dress Designer Best In In American Fashion for their clients to buy. No new shape. LESS CREATIVITY Q. Do 'you think couture is dying? A. I'm not saying its dead. Couture is making the most 'beautiful clothes in the world. But when you compare what '|used to be in Paris and what is now it's scary. How many houses there now are really creative? Five, six? Grand couture will disappear and will be replaced by ready- to-wear. It won't happen over- night--say from the 30s to the late 70s it will be disappearing. Q. Why? | A. Many women are buying ready-to-wear who used to go to the couture houses and have six fittings. In ready-to-wear you iry it on and you like it or you don't, Lots of women haven't time to wait three or four weeks for a dressmaker. Q. What about Paris's influ- ence on fashion? A. Paris is still the fashion centre, but it is less important now. Italy is there, Spain is coming up. We're coming up Not to take away from Paris, but notice America. We're here, Women To Play Active Part In Federal Election By BRENDA LARGE OTTAWA (CP)--Never under- estimate the power of the women. That is what leaders of wom- en's political organizations are saying as they get ready to play an active part in the federal election campaign. Mrs. J. 0. Asselin of Mon- treal, national president of the Women's Liberal Vederation of Canada said here Tuesday: "The Liberal women of Can: ada are going to give Prime Minister Pearson the majority government he wants. We hold the balance of power."' Mrs. Dorothy Harrison Smith of Kelowna, B.C., national presi- dent of the Progressive Con- servative Women's Association, said during a visit to Ottawa just after the election was called: "Our women are well organ- ized, and have been since the last election. They're ready to go out there and win." And Eva Latham, women's di- rector for the New Democratic Party, puts it this way: "We're more ready now than we've ever been for an election too. Q.

Smith, FOR | Join the tho STARR 722-3343 is planning to campaign in the Western provinces; a party spokesman said. Mrs. Asselin, whose two sons Edmund and Patrick were members of the last Parlia, ment, says her Liberal women's organization is the biggest of all 'the women's political groups with about 75,000 members. But the Progressive Conservatives also estimate their "woman- power" at 75,000 members. The Socreds, who organized women's auxiliaries in 1961, had about 187 local groups and 3,800 members at that time. They say the number has probably risen slightly ~since then. The NDP women's section, THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, September 23, 1965 15 Conservative women in 1963, says they have full and equal rights in the policy discussions of the party. Miss Latham, who started getting NDP women members ready for the election in July by issuing a five-page bulletin, says women are among the most vocal members at policy discussions, Although their political view- points may be different, the leaders of Canada's major women's political organizations are united in at least one re- spect, : 4 They all say they don't want women to be thought of as just handy for serving tea and cof> fee and manning the polls on election night.
