IF YOU HAPPEN to see a woman running around town wearing two hats, it's me... pardon, I. This is to accom- modate a_ slightly. swelled head which will probably be deflated at any moment. The cause is a statement made this' week by Earl K. Brownridge, president of American Motors of Canada concerning the policy change in his company. I hadn't re- alized, of course, that Mr. Brownridge was a reader of Jo's Journal and I am amazed at his response. To refresh your memory, this is what I wrote in all in- nocence February 4 'There will always be those who want and can afford the new- est and most distinctive auto- mobiles. They are for the families who buy tailored-to- measured shirts. At one time a car was a status symboi. It is not any more. A car to the average family is a necessity and the family aspires to the most recent model it can afford for the obvious reasons of reliability and safety. With the cost of household essentials draining the family budget, the annual depreciation of the car, no matter how carefully _oper- ated is an invisible steal." NOW, ALONG COMES Mr. Brownridge and says; "Fu- ture changes in the economy niodel will be limited to gen- uine improvements; essential changes that will improve the safety and reliability of these cars. "There will be no. annual face-lifts, no annual model changes, no change for the sake of change alone. We can do this and still provide a technically up-to-date car. We have reached the point at which we consider an annual model change is unnecessary for cars designed as basic transportation. "Annual model changes cost the auto industry and the buying public millions of dol- jars each year and this new policy introduces savings to the purchaser ranging from $140 to $222 on new cars and a higher trade-in value for fused cars." This is a good beginning. Thank you, Mr. Brownridge. Sometimes the most naive suggestions bear fruit. I read once about the problem fac- ing the Post Office when post- age stamps were first intro- duced in England. The stamps were printed on large sheets and had to be cut with scissors. This was a fiddling process and the Post Master General asked the public for suggestions. Among the re- plies was an illiterate, un- signed scrawl which read "Put a lot of little holes around them." This gives me courage to write all sorts of things that may sound silly. IN MY MAIL BAG is a let- ter signed "Oshawa Old Girl, Mabe! Rice Guy" from Kitch- ener. Mrs. Guy tells me she is 91 years old and remem- Jo'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDW!NCKLE Women's Editor of The Times bers the old music hall about which I wrote some time ago. Her letter may stir memories for others. She writes: "In 1894, I and my talented sister (singer) Ethel Rice (Mrs. W. A. Hare) were on the program with the follow- ing popular artists: Oliver Nezzelwood, (reader); Oliver Luke (Sweet Rosie O'Grady); Charles Dingle (tenor); Alex Henderson (reader); Fred Ellis (reader); Minnie Hallet (lyric); Carlie Mackie (elocu- tionist); Greta Mason (what a voice!); Billie Paul (bass); Albert Adams (tenor); Eddie Guy (comedian); Cash Hen- derson (Back to Erin); Rice Sisters (duet); Williamson's (Magic Lantern). "Wilson Brothers (horse stables in Harmony) then owned the hall, all aglow with coal oil lamps, pine floors polished with tobacco juice. Guy Brothers Minstrels came along every season. The hall was packed and the old wooden benches creaked with delight and fun." Thank you, dear old Oshawa girl, for sharing your vivid memories with us. A NEW PROJECT which I deem worthy of promotion is being undertaken by the con- gregation of St. Andrew's United Church through its Christian Education commit- tee. Designated "Cram Cor- ner" it is a demonstration of the church's outward reach into community work. The committee, convened by Mrs. W. S. McBean and George Tanton, and with the consent of the church board and school officials is making available rooms at the church for students wishing to do pri- vate study. Mrs, McBean explains: "In many homes where there are large families or crowded ac- commodation, children have difficulty in getting their home-work done or their proj- ects developed. We are mak- ing space available to these children for quiet study under competent adult supervision each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m, until the Easter holi- days. We hope to be able to provide reference books and source material to create an enriched environment for study. "This is something new for the congregation which is greatly enthused and we have a roster of supervisors al- ready drawn up. If we can prevent at least one less drop- out we shall consider our ef- forts worthwhile." QUICK NOTES: The Cana- dian Ukrainian Youth Asso- ciation presented a lively con- cert in St. John's parish hall last Sunday afternoon and in- troduced a talented youth group from Windsor. As its centennial project, the Oshawa Business and Professional Women's Club is donating a series of three re- flecting pools to the Hills and Dales Centennial Garden -- approximate cost $500. Returning To Labor Force Made Easy By By ROBERTA ROESCH Dear Roberta Roesch: You frequently mention women of 40 who get themselves in a frenzy about returning to work, so maybe my story will help them, since I was one of them once. In fact, I fussed and fumed so much that one of my friends who returned ork about five years ago findlly suggested I calm my fears and collect some confidence by accompany- ing her to her office to see what It is like. , Since she has the run of her} @wn small office, she was free to do this. It was wonderful for me because I "'got with' the office routine. I also practiced using the dictaphone, working on new equipment and _ handling telegrams and telephone calls. None of this cost me anything except my time and effort, and after I had done it a week it gave me sufficient confidence to apply for a job. I got a job readily, too, and I'm doing well, so I recommend this procedure to women of 40 who worry unduly about return- ing to work. Mrs. B. R. Dear Mrs. B. R.: You've pointed up a practical way for many women to learn for themselves that they can be as 'at home" in an office as they are at home. Any woman who is worried about how she'll make out in an office would do well to look around for a friend who is able and willing--to take her to an office with her. Or, if she does not have a friend who is in a position to do this, she might contact a businessman who would give her some practice in return for her helping hands. LEWIS OPTICAL Established for over 30 years 101% King Street West 725-0444 Friends Dear Roberta Roesch: Is it proper to register with more than one employment agency at a time? I feel I'm getting nowhere with the single agency with which I'm registered, because the people who run it seldom contact me. When they do pre- sent a job offer, it isn't what I want. I'm discouraged. What do }you suggest? | M. M. Dear M. M.: It's quite all right to register with more than one agency. But limit yourself to three or four agencies or you will find that | keeping up with them is too jmuch of a job. And speaking of keeping up, call the agencies regularly without always wait- ing for them to call you. Do this with taste and grace, of course, so you won't become so obnoxious that they wouldn't send you out for a job if you were the last client on their books. | THE VIOLET IS OFFICIAL FLOWER OF FEBRUARY | 'February's Flower Flourishes 'Is Historical Sign Of Innocence' February -- the month of spring's first blinking . . . the |month of Valentines and young) jlove . . . the month of purity and innocence...
