THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1929 PACE THIRTEEN WORK OF COUNCIL OF WOMEN FINE Questionnaires Suggestive of Lines of Constructive En- deavor Issued Illustrative of the comprehensive character of the work carried on by the National Council of Women in a recent program outlined by the Mon- treal Local Council of Women. With the objective of unifying the civic efforts of the fifty-eight societies it represents, the civics committee of the Montreal Loeal Council is issu- ing to these societies a question- naire suggestive of the many lines of constructive endeavor for women in the community. This is in keep- ing with the method adopted by the National Council of Women, The cir- cular marshals salient factors with which women should be familiar be- fore starting reforms, and draws at- tention to ward boundaries, housing conditions, fire and police protection, playgrounds and kindred subjects. It is indicated that the cicive con- vener of each society will report on April 1 of each year to the convener of the civics committee of the Mon- treal local council, who will compile a general report on citizenship work. To inaugurate the plan, the council purposes holding a civic day on a date in April or May of this year to be announced later. } Not only will this plan prevent overlapping of effort, but will, it is expected, draw attention to vital points . of community welfare on which women's work is needed most. The questionnaire is as follows: (1) In what ward is your organi- zation situated? (2) Who is the alderman repre- senting your ward? Is he known to your organization? (3) What support may you expect from your representative upon de- mand for reforms in your ward? (4) Are you familiar with munici- pal bylaws governing housing, sani- tation, health, pure foods, smoke nuisance, child labor, delinquency, 'taxation, etc.? (5) Where are the fire 'alarms and police signals situated in your ward? (6) Do you consider your police protection adequate? (7) Are your lanes and side en- trances well lighted and clear?

(15) If you have foreign-born re- sidents within your ward, are you helping these new eitizens to under- stand the privilege of being Cana- dian, as well as to realize the splen- ai Sifts they have brought to Can- ada?

CANADA-INDIA STEAMER SERVICE Possible Scheme for Bring- ing Immigrants From India Georgetown, British Guiana, June 5.--A possible scheme for the bringing of immigrants to British Gulena from India through the de- velopment of a freight and passen- ger service linking Canada and In- dia, with points of call at the West Indies, was outlined at a recent meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce by Rev, C. F. Andrews, mis- sionary and investigator of Indian Immigration. The old system of recruiting immigrants, Mr. An- drews pointed out, had "een founa unworkable and ha. en discon- tinued. to think of any emigration fro! India to any other part of the Xi pire unless it was emigration of a family character. A triangular mx between Canada and the West In- dies and around the Cape of Good {Hope the speaker saw as the best scientific system under which the Indians could find happy homes overseas. British Guiana would be in the almast direct line of this service, which could be started as a freight service, and gradually ex- panded until bona fide agricultural workers could be brought to the West Indies at less than the ordin- ary passenger rate, after the man- ner of the assisted passages avail- able to. agricultural workers com- ing from Britain. In the long run, the speaker thought, there would be a steady flow of immigrants in the natural course of events, withe out professional recruiting and the evils of that system, : Fashion Waves Wand; Cotton Back in Favor New York, June 6.--Long skirts have returned to the ballroom, long trousers to the beach, and cotton fabric's into fashion's favor. All of which indicates that smart society still affects the un- usual in it escape from boredom --even if it must retrace the calen- dar, Mary Norwitsky, high priestess of the pajama, not only prescribes riotous, exotic costumes for the beach, but says the pajamas must be topped by a hat beside which the ten-gallon variety is a mere compromise. The brims of these hats lie back on the crown, letting the sun's rays play with complex- ions and forecasting that even freckles may become popular be- fore the season ends. Perplexities of the beach cen- sors will be many. Some of the new costumes have the. bodice built so high there ' ceases to be any, and the puritanical suit may be so puritanical that it suggests by its very concealment. Some women will continue to wear shorts, of courst, with shirts tucking under a belt and with bits of brilliant color or scarfs to make them feminine. But these are merely women who swim, and as such cut little figure .at the beaches. . ' But the non-swimmers, the pa- jama-wearers! there is the tang of the salt 'ocean about them -- nautical flares to the long trousers, decorative effects in anchors, stars and the like, to say nothing of sail- or collars.

It's stylish now to combine cotton with silk or linen, except, of course, in stockings, hich are not worn at the beach. . Cotton is returning not only to the beach, but into popularity on street and at parties. Manufac- turers say that prints were about due for the discard, and were ready to abndon them, but with 7 the revival of cotton they are bringing prints into favor again. Checks, modernistic designs, conventionalized floral motifs, plaids, stripes and polka dots are trooping back--at prices rivalling silk. 'Street cottons" are now made up into ensembles, the coat and hat as well as dress being of cotton--preferably in combina- tion with some other material.

Joining the local golf and tennis clubs is a good start towards get- ting to know the members. Dramat- ic and operatic clubs are also very social bodies. If you are a keen bridge player, and broadcast this fact in conversation, you will soon find yourself included in the bridge set after the exchange of a few bridge parties. The pleasant atmosphere of the little parties you give at your own house is sure to be discussed among your neighbors and erstwhile strangers will be glad to make your acquaintance. When there are young people in the family, one's circle of friends widens rapidly. The children bring their little companions home 1rum school with them, and visit at their houses and parents naturally be- come friendly over the matter. The older boys and girls, with the frank freemasonry of youth, have an aptitude of selecting ana getting to know those of their own status and generation who interest them.
