India's Women In All Phases Of Party Politics By RAM SUNDAR Canadian Press Correspondent BOMBAY (CP) -- India's women have been apparently emboldened by the fact that the country's premiership is in the hands of one of their own sex. During the last few weeks there has been a spate of femi- nine demonstrations against the government. The ocation has been pro- vided by rising prices of essen- tial commodities like rice, cook- ing oil and kerosene. All the major opposition po- litical parties including the Communists, , Free- dom Party Conservatives and the Hindu Jana Sangh (Peo- ples' League) have strength- ened their women's wings. The Jana Sangh, a right- wing party with a = following in the northern central prov- inces, is making a special ef- fort to mobilize support among housewives. Recently, the Sangh branch in i city organized what the ress called "a chain hunger virile" to focus attention on the high prices of consumer goods. WOMEN FAST Some 500 housewives took part in the demonstration which went on for 72 hours, Batches of women fasted for 24 hours, to be replaced by others. Some women were permitted by the party to fast only for 16 hours. This was to enable them to attend to their domestic du- ties and avoid the displeasure of their husbands who were ap- parently more interested in a good lunch than in unnerving the government of Prime Min- ister Indira Gandhi. Become Active Mrs. Nirmala Valekar, one of the anti - government women leaders, said that the chain hunger strike was a "great moral success." "The prime minister should now realize that unless she is able to bring down prices, she will find it difficult to get femi- nine votes in the next elec- tions," she said. In Ahmedabad, capital of Gu- jarat state, the Communist party has been pressing women volunteers into a demonstra- tion against United States oil companies. Hundreds of women demon- strated before petrol pumps to protest high prices of kero- sene, The Jana Sangh and the Com- munists also are busy organiz- sting women's demonstrations in New Delhi, the capital. Shouting housewives recently held a two-hour demonstration in front of the prime minister's official residence. A mother of| six carried a hand-written plac-| ard which read: "Respected | prime minister, do not ied your suffering sisters." TAKES CHALLENGE 'The ruling Congress party has | taken up the opposition chal-| lenge. It organized a rally of 200,000 housewives in Calcutta to show that Indian women are still by and large with the party of In- dian independence. Kumaraswami Kamaraj, chairman of the Congress party, plans to utilize the serv- ices of women to take the) party's message to the remot: | | est hamlets.

It is part of the Cana- dian Collection, shown at Montreal, recently. take 'place next February, the ruling party estimates that it will need some 500,000 women workers. Though the number sounds impressive, it means at best one worker a village in a land of more than 500,000 vil- lages. Ruling party 'circles concede that some opposition groups like the Communists are far ahead in the matter of women workers. In th state of Kerala alone the Communists have perhaps more than 100,000 women prop- agandists working for the party on a part-time basis. They in- clude school teachers, office workers and peasant women. With its revivalist Hindu ide- ology, the Jana Sangh also is making a sizable impact on 'women voters. Indian government leaders say that feminine votes num- bering some 100,000,000 could prove eéecisive in the next elec- tions. They admit that it can no longer be taken for granted that Indian women are submis- sive and will stay out of politi- cal agitations. Nor can they be trusted to vote according to their husbands' wishes. RETAKE OWN NAMES REGINA (CP)--Members of the order of Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception in Regina have given up their religious names in favor of their civil ones. Thus, Sister Mary becomes Sister Brown. The or- der took this step because of increasing. involvement in pub- lic activities outside the clois- PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.

Chris- tenson, whose husband operates a Dig. dairy fe farm near here, pm "daily t but insists she still has a better life than the side- walk-pounding city woman with half the chores. Her well-equipped house has ail the facilities of a city home and she has the added advan- tage of cheap food raised on the farm, : Mrs. Christenson says she's amazed at the amount of money city housewives leave in the su- penne. Her farm provides er family of six with all the eggs, meat, milk and vegetables they need. "When I go into Prince George and look at the price of steak! But we have it here BEAUTY NEEDS STAFF WINNIPEG (CP) -- Cana- dian women spent $320,000,000 in beauty shops last year, says R. G. Fitzpatrick, manager of a Toronto beauty firm, and beauty schools cannot keep up the demand for staff. Every girl finishing training in Winnipeg may be offered five jobs pay- ing from $50 to $150 a week. Life On Dairy Farm Appeals _ To City - Bred Farmer's Wife maybe three times a week and think nothing of. it," Even the children have the best of both worlds, she says. They take on responsibilities for chores at an early age, some- thing city children seldom get. They attend a well-equipped «/school and live in a home with telephone, television and a wealth of reading material, in- cluding two sets of encyclope- dias and a 400 - book library which serves as a lending li- brary for the area. ; Mrs. Christenson says she has an adequate social life and the family can visit Prince George for entertainment. But the semi - isolated life never breeds loneliness, There is al- ways lots of visiting. URGENTLY REQUIRED Female cannery workers for various Onterio centres.
