Can: ada i8 sending her soldiers to the ) of Great Britain, but it must be re: membered that scarcely less effective |. help can be rendered by keeping trade | and industries prosperous throughout the Dominion. No one is able to sa: how the strain of war may affect us, Already there is a prospect of un- He employment on a considerable scale i during the coming winter. "There" are many ways in which | the evil of unemployment may be ' fought, but one way is to keep up the demand for Canadian products in | order that Canadian industries may continue in operation. Articles that are being produced in Canada are also being imported annually to the value of $104,639,879. 'By purchasing only commoditier produced in Canada we should largely increase the output of our industries and provide employ: ment for large numbers of workmen. To attain this desirable end it is hoped that, in so far as possible, hougéwives and others will buy pro- ducts 'made in Canada." Household League This was the resolution passed at a meeting of 'several leading Canadian women in Ottawa on Saturday. They met to discuss ways and means where- by. the women of Canada could effec- tively 'lend their assistance in tiding Canada over the probable stress and trial of the coming winter. Amongst the ladies present were Mrs. T. W. wife of the Minister of Labor, Mrs, W. T. Herridge, wife of 'the moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Adam Shortt, Mrs. Dr. Lyman, Mrs. R. H. Coats, and Mrs. J. A. Wilson, national convener of Household Economics. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Household League of Ottawa. Official figures relating to the im- portation of goods produced in Can- ada were laid before the meeting, and it was found that in certain products imported came from the United States alone. For instance Canada, which is a wheat country herself, Imports $268,617 worth of wheat flour from the United States, = If Canadian women would see that they purchased Can- adian flour only this in {tself would be a great help. Soap is another hotsehold com- modity which is manufactured in Can- ada, yet we import $1,827,997 worth a year. 917 men are employed in this industry in Canada, but 'if our women would purchase only Canadian soap there would be employment for yery many more. It is the same with baking powder. We import $179,180 worth, the amount from the United States being $177,617. Figures Given Canada imports blue for washing clothes to the extent of $50,421, bis- cuits $275,260, buckwheat meal or flour $9,260, corsets $660,064, baskets $126, 970, buttons $851,822, candles $98, 6685, carpet sweepers $16,102, clothes. wringers $36,483, combs $238,616, cot ton goods which includes embroideries, clothing, socks, and stockings $27,345, 112, canned fruit $823,897, gloves $2,786,788, hair work $218,104, jellies and jams $815,617, Indian corn meal $176,779, lard $1,366,202, milk $22,801, oatmeal and rolled oats $3,626, pickles $465,866, rye flour $19,577, silks $8, 871,676, sauces . $341,213, paints $1. 768,366, sugar candy and confectionery $1,649,867, starch $109,148, woollen ings and knitted goods as well ag tweeds $30,732,271, stoves $1,058,367, hats and caps $798,746, furs §1,373,1 $30,337,083 worth of the $104,639,879 | SUBSCRIPTION "RATES The Port Perry Stars $1.00 year { to Canadian or British points, if paid" in advance; otherwise $1.25.
