Women Should Join Consumers' Associai'n How often we hear people say -if consumers would only get to- gether, they could do something about high prices and poor quali- ty goods. And there's a lot ta be said for a united consumer association that could speak for ail consumers, and informed and representative consumer organi- zation made up of women froin the towns, the cities, the villages and the country districts right ac- ross Canada. Such a national consumer as- sociation now exists. It is the Canadian Association of Consum- ers-a voluntary, and self sup- porting association backed by al the larger women's organizations 1il k e the Women's Institutes, Home and Sehool, I.O.D.E., al religiaus faiths and so on. Right now, volunteers in every district in Canada are working on a membership drive. Because to operate an organization of any kind takes money for mailing out bulletins, research, running a central headquarters and the like. Any woman may join the Can- adian Assoc. of Consumera and lend her support ta a united con- sumer voice in current affairs, by paying the annual 50c member- ship fee. For this fee, members will receive the latest consumers' news and be able ta cail on the central consumer bureau located at Ottawa ta answer. questions and relay complaints about the problems they as housewives and as consumers meet in their daily rounds. Membership cards may be had at The Statesman office or Write Canadian Association of Consumers, Box 500, Station B, Ottawa. Britons are NOT starving-but they ARE hungry.

Every few days there is a meet- inig ta attend. We are thlnking particularly now ai church meet- ings. That age aid congregation- ai meeting for instance ta which saine people always go (someane has ta, you know) and many otb- ers neyer do. Minutes are read by that long sufiering sncretary and approved. Then the treasur- er's repart, this la when the meet- ing really gets dawn ta work trying ta make that budget bal- ance. -It can't be done because Mr. So-and-So had only seen the people in his section once this fali so ai course somneone would have ta caîl araund again and urge the cause of the upkeep oi the cburch. The writer being neither a member ai the Board or minister would like ta get a few thoughts which have came ta him again and again in the past few weTks an paper. Why should one man have ta ask another man for financial support ai bis church? There are very few men wbo do flot consider tbemselves attached, ta a greater or lesser degree, ta saine cburcb. We pay aur insurance when it la due, witbout expecting any- one ta coax it frorn us. The sat- isfaction in what it stands for is ail we ask. What does aur cburcb mean ta us (even thaugh we do flot take advantage ai ail it offers)? Wauld you like ta live wbere there wasn't one? Almost every- ane likes ta settie near a church, Isn't that a fact? Parents like ta feel that their cbildren are connected with the cýurch and sa they are baptized. In a few years daughter or son need a recammend as ta charac- ter. They just naturally go ta the minister or same ai its offi- ciais. Then cames the time ta get married. We need at least ana minister for that and maybe the PRIVATE ENTERPRISE The power ta choose the work Il do, To grow an.d have the larger view. To know and feel that 1 arn free 'ro stand erect, flot ta bow the ktuce. To be na chattel of the State To bc the master of rmy fate. To dare, to risk, to lose, to win, To rnake my own career begin.' To gain ini wisdom day by day, To serve the world in mny own way. With hope and zest to climb, ta rise. That is Private Enterprise. use of the churcb, and gladiy al this is given. Mayba an illness iays uis low. Who doasn't like ta have the min- ister cal]? Surely we do, mayba mainly becausa af bis chearful, gladti t be of any littie help, at- titude. Or mayha we need the good services ai the minister ta par- form the funerai service for a loveti ana. It woulti ba a strange tbing indeati if the ministar shoulti say "Oh yas, 1 suppose I can, in fact 1 know I sbould but I wan't heabale ta for a day or two. I bave a couple af meetings ta attend and some business ta look aiter." Ministers do bave business ta look aitar, they may even bave ta go ta the bank ta make a boan. No, this is neyer tione, but wby not? Wauidn't it be fair enougb in the light ai the attitude taken by a good many adberents, or ta be perfectly bonest, a gooti many members oi aur churches? How about it men and waman? Do yau bonestiy tbink it is the duty or shouid be the necessity ai anyona ta bave ta ask for your support of the cburch in your neighhourhood? It reaily shouiti ba cansidereti a priviiega and ana ai the first debts ta be looked aiter in tha business ai squaring yaursalf in the ayes ai the worid at tha anti ai tbe yaar.
