Convention t The Ontario and Quebec divi- sion of the Canadian Weekly1 Newspapers Association met in 'Ottawa. It has been my privilege1 ta attend several of their conven-1 tions and I arn always struclc with the happy feeling of good fellOw- ship which the1 editors and their wives have for their fellow mi e m- bers. The 0t- tawa Branch of t h e Canadian Women's Press Club joined the ladies for lunch and it was a very happy af- fair. Three minute speech- es were the or- Xesuie Allen 1 der and we Brown 9 heard from such sparkling. women as Miss Agnes McPhail. Anme An- derson Perry, Madge McBetli,1 and Mrs. A. E. Dobbie. who spoke for the editors' wivcs. It was a gala day, as the luncheon was fol- lowed by a drive about thie city, a tea at the Experimental Faim, and' then a dinner at night, at which Sir Gerald Campbell was the speaker. $ome of you may have heard Sir Gerald Campbell via radio. If you ever see a speech of his listed, I beg of you not ta miss if. His style of delivery and his humour aie unique. 1 con- sider myself fortunate in being able ta attend this convention and ta meet s0 many editors and their> wives, many of whom are old fri- ends by now. Woman's Chief Occupation Gave Hambidge tells us in this same book that the largest occu- pational group i the nation aie the housewives flot galnfully eni- ploycd. He says that in the United States, (and probably the figures for Canada are about the sanie) 21% of the entire population -are housewives flot gainfully ernploy- cd. And that the percentage is the saine in 1939 as it was in 1870. This is somewhat surprising as with ail the work that is now open ta wamen one would expcct there would be a smaller peroenfage of housewivés. Home-making h a s always been womcn's chief work and probably' always will be. Ed- .1 ucatian far women should be di- ected towards this. HomeBEconomies When Uic subjccf af Home Economics cames up sanie trustee is almost sure ta say there is no necessity ta have if taught in school as Uic girl's mothers cen teach theni ta cook. Certainly they can teach thernta cook. At least most of theni cen, but there ar'e sanie pretty poor cooks too. Cooking is anly a pait of Home Economics. The girls are tauglit food values and how ta plan meals s0 that Uic proper nourishment is provided ta gîve hcalthy, strong bodies. They are tauglif how ta plan their meals s0 as ta use the cheaper foads ta Uic best advan- tag and the proper methods of caoking ta make these foods most digestible. Somefimes Uic best house-keepers teacli their daugli- ters Uic lcast, because Uiey, theni- selves, are s0 good they cannof be bothered with a less efficient worker. A scicntific knowledge creates iterest and ail girls should have an infereet in hame- making stimulated. School haurs devoted ta Damcstic Science are sa short that Uic teachers do not have a chance ta teach iti as if shauld be tauglif. .Leather Chairs Most dining-raam chairs have leather -scats and proper caic of Uic leather will add years fa ifs life. A librarian tald me that Uiey used castor ail ta dlean and nour- ish their preciaus lcather-bound books. I figurcd if it was god for leather books it would be gaad for leather chairs. I have used castor-ail two or three finies a ycar an Uic leaUicr and if lu in about as good condition as when if was baught twenty-five years ago. First wash Uic leather, ar rather wipe if off, with a clath wrung ouf af Uiick suds made froni a vcry mid soap and luke- %varm water. Rub with a dry cloth until Uiaroughly dry. Waitfofr a litfle while until Uic leather dries ouf perfectly then rub with a cloth wef with a few draps of castor- cil. If only requires a very liffle and mare miglit make if greasy. Rub if in Uioroughly and rub and rub. Then take a dlean cloth and rub again. The leather wil l e clean, glassy and pliable. A Frozen Melange Caoking by recipe is a gaad fhing ta do but Uic woman who always must have a recipe, (Cyn- thia Brown cali I a prescription) lases a -lot of fun ouf of cooking. Sanie af Uic best things I makeI may neyer be duplicated cxactly j because I miglit neyer again hap- j pen ta have Uiase sanie ingred-i lents an hand at Uic saniefinie.1 A recent ice-cream was just onc of those Uiings. Looking abaut for samtnie for dessert I found three or -four Chinesrc Chews a. lit- fle on Uic stale side and a.couple of fablespoons of ginger mania- lade in Uic battani of Uic baffle. Sa I whipped same creanl and added Uic marnialade and Uic Chews, broken in pieces. If re- . uied a little mare sugar and a ýew.dras of vanlla. Rememiber a frozen diali always needs a lit- tle extra si.gai. I froze Uic mix- ture liglifly, unt il if was f irni but nat solid and if was a deiciaus ice-cream. Sa mucli sa thaf if miglif be worth frying with nuts, dates and ginger if thc left-overs were flot available.
