{2. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, May 9, 1963 CAC Acts As Watchdog Of Value For Dollars Spent Mrs. 8. V. Barlow, vice-presi- dent of Consumers Association of Canada conducted the annual meeting in St, Gregory's audi- torium. She opened the meeting by pointing out the aims of CAC which was to inform consumers on how to buy, to let the manu- facturers know what the con- sumer wants, and to work with the government to form laws for betterment of consumer goods. Mrs. Barlow introduced the two guests from Provincial Headquarters in Toronto, Mrs. A. G. Volpe, president, and Mrs. J. R. H, Turner, Consum- er Problems convener. Mrs. * Volpe announced that men were now eligible,to become mem- bers of CAC. She also stressed Trade Crusade's slogan, "Buy Canadian' whenever possible. Mrs. Volpe introduced Mrs. Turner, who holds a BA from Western University in House- hold Economics, and has held a number of high positions in that capacity. Mrs. Turner an- nounced that testing of Cana- dian products on a _ national scale was well under way and the first bulletin, due to come out early in June, will deal with three projects, electric kettles,|S laspirin tablets and textiles. CAC hopes to amass a suffici- ently large membership to fi- nance this important project for the first year, thereafter it is believed that the magazine would pay for itself. Membership in CAC covered the receiving of this Consumers Report. The official name has not yet been released. Four other countries, Denmark, Unit- ed States, United Kingdom and Australia, issue similar reports. However, Denmark's Con- gumers' Report is government anced and controlled. Mrs. Turner spoke briefly on "Shoes". Part of the blame for the fact that the lack of round. toed shoes for children in a wider variety must be assumed by the consumer who did not ask for them. She a'so stated that heels in women's shoes were becoming lower and illu- sion heels were now the biggest volume seller. On the other hand sales of comfortable. work- Fashion Show Held At Curlers' Dinner A gay evening was spent by over 150 members of the Ladies Curling Section of the Oshawa Golf Club last Tuesday evening when a cocktail hour, fashion show and dinner was held in the elub house to end the curling season. The guests were wel- @omed by Mrs. Frank McCal- lum. The fashion show was held in the lounge with Mrs. Edward Wildgoose of Toronto, as com- mentator. She chose a patio gown in wine floral design on the long line. Four models from Toronto, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Legree displayed over 100 ensembles from Ber- muda shorts, golf outfits to the little black dress which is al- ways in demand. , After the dinner hour a short business meeting was held when Mrs. Eric Henry presented Mrs. Frank McCallum, the out- going president, with a silver tray, on behalf of all the mem- bers. | ing shoes for women was far too low. A woman should pay more for these than she did for dress . shoes. The Margarine Bill passed by the Ontario Provincial Govern- ment recently was a direct re- sult of a brief presented to the government in 1961. Mrs. Turner also dealt with problems were handled. She ad- vised that a defective article first be taken back to retailer. If no satisfaction was received this way, then the purchaser should approach the manufac- turer or go through the Asso- ciation's Problems Convener. If the problem was more general in nature it should be sent to the Provincial Problems Dept. If it cannot be solved here it would go to National who had a number of divisions to deal with such things as textiles and leather. The Annual Report was read by the recording secretary, Mrs. K. Broadbent, and the treasurer's report by Mrs. Bruce McGregor. The slate of officers was accepted: 1st vice- president, Mrs. J. D. Feather- stone; 2nd vice-president, Mrs V. Barlow; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Rex Harper; recording secretary, Mrs. K. M. J. Gerrow; telephone convener, Mrs. D. T, Preston; publications convener, Mrs. R. D. Galbraith; consumer problems convener, Mrs. J. D. Featherstone; pub- licity convener, Mrs. J. H. Rich- ardson; executive members, Mrs. Walter Johnson, Mrs Uriah Jones, Mrs. Bruce Mc- Gregor, Miss E.
