PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1948 University Club Hears Appeal For More Women in Government An appeal to women to take an active interest in political affairs and make themselves heard in gov- ernment was made by Miss Evelyn McDonald, M.A. head of the Eng- lish department at Bloor Collegiate Institute and Dominion chairman of the research committee of the Progressive Conservative Party's 'Women's Committee, when she ad. dressed the University Woinen"s Club here last night. There should be at least 20 wo- men members in the House of Commons, she declared, deploring that in all the legislative bodies in the country there is a total of only 12 women. While making it clear that she was opposed to anything in the na- ture of a women's party, Miss Mec. Donald urged that there should be more women in government and that they should join political par- ties and endeavour to see that competent candidates are nomin. ated and elected. Must Guard Freedom As an introduction to her ad. dress, Miss McDonald read excerpts from the book, "This Is My World", in which Viscountess Rhondda tells of the struggles of the Mili. tant Suffrage movement in Eng- land, and she reminded her listen. ers that it is often forgotten that "freedom has to be paid for with vigilance." Asking why there are so few women in public office today, she sald many would reply that "nice" women don't go into politics, that politics are essentially "dirty". Common answers by men, she sug- gested, would be that "all women vote ag their husbands do" or "wo- men are the power behind the throne anyway." Pointing out that many also be. lieved men to be more competent than women, she said when capa- ble women did run for office it was frequently the women who would not support them. Would Ask Questions If there were women in the House of Commons they would ask questions and the ministers in question wouli be compelled to answer, she emphasized, pointing out that the usual reply when one goes to government officials pri- vately is: "I'd love to help you but that matter doesn't come under my department." They would also have an.opportunity to have a voice in deciding party policy, she added. While acknowledging that the decision regarding nomination of candidates is usually in the hands of only a few, she urged that wo. men should enter party organiza. tions and make a concerted endea. vour to see that the most capable people are persuaded to stand for Parliament. The speaker stressed the impor. tance of joining a political party, declaring that the party is the basis for the system of responsible government, While it is. the gov. ernment's job to find out the best way, she went on, it is the opposi. tion's job to point out the govern. ment's weaknesses. Should Support Parties "As long as you look down on people who are party members we are not doing your job of citizen. ship," she declared, stating that citizens also had a duty to contrib. ute to the financial support of par. ties. "Unless you are willing to have as candidates only rich people, there has to be money forthcom. ing," she said. Substantial finan. cial assistance is provided by busi. ness firms, she said, because they realize that parties must receive it from some source. In conclusion, she urged support of a plan under way in Toronto to stimulate interest in politics and provide information concerning the various party policies. A dinner is to be held April 1 which will be political but non:partisan and this will pe followed by three meetings in which speakers from the various parties will be invited to present what their groups have to offer. Miss McDonald was introduced by Mrs, W. R. Elliott and a vote of appreciation to her was moved by Dr. Lillian Hunter. At the .meeting . the Miss Marie &hantz, president, announced that it" had been decided to pur- chase seven food parcels with the $75 contributed by members of the club for the aid of university wo. men in Europe. Two parcels will be sent to France, two to Austria and one each to Britain, Greece and Italy, This form of assistance had been recommended by Dr. Vi. bert Douglas, president of the In. ternational Federation of Univer. sity Women, who spoke at the Oshawa club's January meeting. Ritson Home and School Assn. Addressed by Local Speakers Mrs. E. A. Mounce was the guest speaker at the Founder's Day meet- ing of the Ritson Rcad Home and School Association. She gave many interesting facts of Home and School. Mrs. A. C. Courtice the founder, whose home was in this district, was educated at the Ontar- io Ladies' College in Whithy, later married a minister and was the mother of two children, so who better could form such an organi. zation as Home and School, than one whose whole life was wrapped up in Home, School and Church. In forming the Home and School, her task was not an easy one, for there was opposition, but her de- termined nature carried her through and within nine months, a number of Associations were formed in To- ronto. Since then, the work has ex- panded rapidly. The greatest way to pay tribute to the founder, is-to take stock of oneself and see if one js living up to the traditions laid down by her. Mrs. Mounce spoke of conditions as they were in the Maritimes and how these had been remedied and the many things accomplishd. Par. ents have a great responsibility SEIENCE has proved there are certain food elements everyone needs for health. If there aren't enough of them in a child's food, serious things can hap, ch as stunted Seowih, soft bones, poor teeth, faulty nerves, loss of appetite, defective eyesight. Ovaltine supplements the diet with elements frequently deficient in ordirary s. ree servings of Opvaltine furnish a significant portion of a child's daily uirements of Vitamins A, Bi, C, D, Riboflavin (B32) and Niacin ard Minerals Calciun Phosphorus and Iron. In addition it provides the basic to build muscle, nerve and body cells --high-energy foods for vitality and endurance. It thus acts as an insurance gainst food deficiencies that normal growth. So if your child eats poorly, is thin, , perhaps nervous, why not try delicious altine for normal growth and better appetite. OVALTINE v these days especially in the train- ing of their children and should be living examples of what they would like to see in their children. Mrs. Charles Langfield, a Brown Owl of the Brownies, gave a brief talk on the Girl Guide Association. She sald that the first Canadian Girl Guide: Company was formed ih St. Catharines, in January, 1910. Lady Pellott was appointed Chief Commissioner for Canada in 1912. There are at present 17500 Guides and Brownies in Ontario. They are started at the age of 8, and are taught how to wash dishes, darn and set table. Their test work is all done in the form of games. From February 16 to February 22 is Guide and Brownie Week. The joint birth- days of the founder, Lord Baden- Powel, and his wife fall on Febru- ary 22, and this day is considered in Guide work as "Thinking Day." In conclusion, the speaker gave the Guide and Brownie promise. An interesting program followed the speakers.

She started knitting for the Red Cross at Ctiristmas time: 1939 and has kept going steadily ever since, having turned in 850 pairs of socks. "By the time you get that in the pa- per I'll have another pair ready" she quipped. She has a favorite corner of the chesterfield in the window and with a good lamp for the evenings, where she knits round after round, build- ing up an average of two pairs a week. Right now she is knitting boys' knee socks and she claims there is more work in them than in men's socks, as the legs have to be 15 inches long from the turnover to the back of the heel. Mrs. Trick is a busy, person and still she gets all this knitting done. She has turned her big home into | a tourist house and looks after everything herself. Quick and spry she has passed the stage of keeping her age a secret and can now boast about it. As well she way -- her youthful spirits are contagious. She is very proud of her knitting which is smooth and faultless. She follows the Red Cross, instructions to the letter. They call for a Kit. chener toe," she explained "and I prefer to do a round toe, which I think is more comfortable, but, I got on to the flat toe, because that's what they want.

Now I am alone and I knit whenever I have a minute to spare --any day of the week. "I don't feel a bit guilty about knitting on Sunday because I re. gard it as a work of charity," she explained.
