Scout Auxiliary Whiskey Bought By JEAN SHARP €P Women's Editor It sounds wonderful. Butter was 20 cents a pound, coffee 30 cénts, a dozen eggs 20 cents, whisky 40 cents a gallon, beef 10 cents a pound. But in urban Ontario in the years around Confederation, wages were equally low. A male cotton-carder earned $1 a day, a house carpenter $1.50. In Ot- tawa a skilled farm worker commanded $13 a month with board, a female domestic $5 a month, also with board. The Ontario archives have household account books kept by an Elizabeth Anderson in the middle and late 19th cen- tury. Unfortunately, no one knows who the family was ex- cept that the Andersons appear to have been well off and prob- ably lived north of Toronto. James Anderson, the father, could afford to pay $2.50 to stay in a hotel in Toronto in 1858 and it was only one of several trips he took in the area that year. Others were to Bradford and Collingwood.

At previous elections, some women's votes have been invali- dated because they would not tell the polling officer the name of their husband so their identity could be properly checked. This is because of a tradition, prevalent especially among poorer Indians, that, as a mark of respect, wives should never refer to their husbands by name, The election commission has ruled that in such cases polling officers may read out the hus- band's name and let the woman simply nod her acknowledge- ment. banquet served by the United ;Church Women of Harmony : }United Church.
