PAGE SIX ~ =" THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE > WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1947 Women Want Questions Answered, Nation-Wide Association Grows To Play Here "Women themselves have shown that they want to be better in- fornied on the economic affairs of the corntry; why prices are soar- ing and why there are periodic shortages," declared Mrs. Gordon Conant in an interview yesterday. "That is why the Canadian Asso- ciation of Consumers has come into existehce. It has been created volun- tarily by the women themselves through representatives of 56 na- tional women's organizations and the major French-speaking groups." Mrs. Conant is chairman of the Central Ontario region, and she ex- plained briefly the urgent need to do something about the high cost and standards of living, and the housing situation immediately. "There is strength in numbers," she said, "and our objective is 250,- 000 members. But there is no rea- son why it should not be 500,000. This will ensure a self-supporting organization, with no political strings, that will be able to set up enquiries and publish the plain facts." . Membership in the Canadian As- sociation of Consumers is open to every woman in Canada by pay- ment of an annual fee of 50 cents. This will entitle her to receive a monthly bulletin and other material to keep her informed on matters of consumer interest; to have her ques- tions as a purchaser, answered, and to Join in securing action. to pro- mote better standards 8f, living in Canadian homes and 'greater stab- lity in Canadian life. Mrs. -Conarjt explained that the aims of-the Association are to study consumer problems and. make re- commendations for their solution; to circulate information on matters of consumer interest; to secure and evaluate opinions and to bring the views of consumers to the attention of 'government, trade and industry, and to provide a channel for infor- mation from these to the consumer. The drive for membership is on. Every woman's organization in Oshawa will be able to enrol mem- bers whose names and fees will be serp to Ottawa. The local chair- man is Mrs, Uriah Jones, who is being assisted by Mrs. C. O. Miller Mrs. N. H. Dunford. The cam- pafgn will be short and there should be no hesitancy on the part of women who want to know the truth abomt vital questions of everyday livilg, and who want pressure brought on economic conditions. Mstrength lies if numbers," Mrs, Cogant said," and every member- ship in city, town and village will coliat. It is an opportunity women haVe been waiting for."
