MRS. PERIGOE DISFLAYS SLOGANS Through Education Programs WCTU Campaigns Against Drin By BRUCE LEVETT Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--The ladies of the Canadian Woman's Christian Temperance Union are working for the ages in their campaign against drink. "We aren't going to see an end to it,"" says Mrs. I. H. Perigoe, president of the body which has fought lquor traffic for nearly 85 years. "But the work is going on and on, through the people we train and through our education pro- grams. If anything is to be done, perhaps we have set the pat- tern." NO FANATIC There is little of the fanatic about Mrs, Perigoe. She is neat, with glasses, and likes to wear a white hat atop a fashionable black suit, She abhors the vio- lence associated with the hatchet- loons 50 years ago. "As our name implies, we are Christians." The WCTU today carries on its campaign through the schools, churches, poster contests for youngsters, summer camps, mu- sic competitions and literature-- mounds of literature. Mrs. R. W. Craw, editor of the White Ribbon Tidings, official WCTU organ, says: "Our policy is to make the men so mserable that thiey'll give us alcohol education. It works." INCREASING PROBLEM Still, Mrs. Perigoe admits, there is more drinking being done today than when the union was formed in Owen Sound--"then the corkscrew city of Ontario"-- in 1874. "More people are drinking to- day and the drinking people are drinking more, Mayor Inaugurates Complaint Day NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C (CP)--Mayor Beth Woods wasn't really disappinted when her "complaint day" turned out to be a flop. The first woman mayor of New Westminster initiated complaint day to allow voters with griev- ances to discuss their troubles in a chatty atmosphere, rather than the formality of a council meet- ing. "I expect we'll be swamped," she said as she prepared to face complainers from among this city's 31,500 inhabitants on the first complaint day recently. Then she marched into a com- mittee room--to meet three re- porters, two photographers and not a single complaining citizen. "I guess this means that our city hall staff handlc every com- rlal * satisfactorily, we're the happiest city in Canada," Mayor Woods said. Two hours later, however, two residents came. In all, six eventu- ally showed up. Several members are on the sick list including the social con- veners. It was hoped all would be well for the social evening. After the meeting refreshments were: served by Mrs. Jack Bird and Mrs. Louis Hammill, CALVARY BAPTIST WMS The regular meeting of the Cal- vary Baptist WMS was held re- cently. After an opening hymn- sing led by Mrs. Henry McGhee, the president Mrs, Grace Moncur took charge. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. Otto Sharrard, and the offering was received. Mrs. A. R. Alloway will con- tinue her Bible Study next week from Exodus 15. The memory for next week is Psalm 66: 20 and 68: 3-4. Miss Lottie Sickle spoke to the group centering her thoughts on the Transfiguration. Miss Edith McArthur gave a few thoughts from Psalm 92: 12, Mrs, Clarence Henry then read a prayer which had been offered white canes of the members in| a donation of an apron or what they like for the spring sale of work to be held on April 30. A rummage sale is to be held on April 16. In the absence of Miss Ethel Wesson the correspondence was read by the president Mrs. John Sawyer. A letter was read from the evening branch inviting the mem- bers to its meeting on March 5, ai 8 p.m. to hear Miss Nora Lee! of Toronto. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Murrall, Mrs. George Puck- ett and Mrs. C. H. Luke. The next meeting will be held on March 12, TANNERY AUXILIARY The regular meeting of the Tannery Ladies' Auxiliary was held in the UAW hall recently with the president, Mrs, Thomas Homes, presiding. The minutes, treasurer's report and bingo report were read. It was announced that all dues are to be paid by the March meeting and fruit baskets are to be sent to the sick. It was decided to send a dona- tion with thanks to Radio Park for use of bingo cards. A dona- tion is also to be made to the Re- tarded Children's building fund. The next meeting is to be held at the home of Mrs. Edward Kit- chen on Tuesday, March 10. GIRL GUIDE ASSN.

"Too many intelligent and able girls are not taking education seriously because they think they will get married, and won't need it," she says. Miss Detenbeck's job is to see that youngsters in high school understand what jobs they are best suited for, and take the ap- propriate courses of study, FACE HANDICAPS 'Girls have three things against them in choosing careers," she "They want to concentrate on {getting married. "Their parents often decide that money for education should be spent on the boys in a family. "They don't know the varied jobs that now are open to women." ' Ideally, every girl should get all the education she can. 'Future husbands can be met just as easily on the college campus as out at work, 'Parents can help by encourag- ir 2 girls to attain higher educa- tion. Study is never wasted, and even if a ~" mar.' ~-"' raises a family she will make a better wife if she is well-educated." LIXTYTLD AUTY Ang Girls tend to limit their ideas of a job to elirical w 'k, nursing or teaching, she said. But more of them could become engineers, architects or doctors. "True, doctors may be 26 be- fore they have finished medical school, at which age--according te girls at high . 2l.ool--you are a confirmed old maid. But many ples are study- ing at university together.

"Teaching about g food, cleanliness and vitamins of little value unless children enough rest," she said. Miss Detenbeck is responsible for seeing that girls in high school ji "In olden days, the heads of families -- the persons handling the money--were the. problem. Now it's becoming increasingly a problem of young people." The WCTU's command post in {Canada is a stately home in mid- town Toronto--half a block from one of the larger cocktail lounges. A former doctor's home, there are apartments rented upstairs to help finance the work carried on downstairs. There are piles of books, blotters, pamphlets, chil- dren's games and posterg--all stressing the evil and futility of drink. {CONSTANT REMINDERS A plaque, recently placed "in every church in Alberta," pro- claims: "The liquor traffic would de- stroy the church if it could; the church' could destroy the liquor traffio- if itowould.™ On the well-polished desk of Miss R. C. Duff, the general sec- retary, are blotters inscribed: Canadian ideals can't be pre- highway when drink takes the wheel, and A man who drinks now and then 'usually drinks {more now than he did then. INO ILLUSIONS Mrs. Perigoe is candid: "I don't think we have had too much effect on drinking. Cer- tainly we haven't done nearly what we set out to do or what we dreamed could be done." WCTU literature states there are 200,000 alcoholics in Canada, a number increasing by 4,000 an- nually. There are treatment facil- ities for 1,000. Crux of the problem is that 'parents are not taking a stand |against liquor, so the ) g peo- {ple think it'~ all right." Mrs. Craw, whose feathered hat is battended down on her white locks with an old-fashioned hat. pin, agreed. LIFETIME JOB "It's a lifetime job. It's up to us to do our work as Christian women. The results lie in higher hands." But. the ladies don't believe their fight is strictly a negative one, Their literature also includes ideas for liquorless parties. For the bride, there is a pam- phlet of recipes entitled Drinks of Variety and Novelty. The WCTU"s most pressing im- mediate problem right now is one of taxes.
