Women THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 29, 1966 15 WINNIPEG (CP) -- House- wives protesting rising food prices in Winnipeg have a 50- year-old blueprint to follow. When the modern-day moth- ers went to city council in late October for aldermanic support in their campaign, most didn't know that they were duplicating their grandmothers' actions of Oct. 31, 1916. Back in those "good old days," when oldtimers say a dollar .was a dollar, the hue and ery aboutdfood costs was brought abouf by a 10 - cent-a- pound hamburger and 39-cent- a-dozen eggs. Faced with the political pres- sure of "a large delegation," the city fathers passed resolu- tions calling for a provincial government investigation into the high price of the necessities of life and, at the same time, permitting the city to enter the refafling business. No records are available on what happened but city council still isn't in the rejailing busi- ness. and prices are still going up. The 1916 protest was spear- headed by The Council of Women. While they didn't picket stores, the housewives held Winnipeg Women Protested Rising Food Prices 50 Yrs. Ago meetings and, say accounts of that protest, had a knack for putting their elected representa- tives on the spot. 3 They also knew the value of comparison: Spokesmen used comparative prices between Winnipeg stores and those in a Minnesota city to show that their American cousins spent 10 to 15 per cent less on food than they did. A 1966 survey be- tween Winnipeg and Minneap- olis indicated Winnipeg house- wives spend 20 to 30 per cent more than shoppers in the Min- esota centre. Inflation too, was a concern during that war year and its effect on the "workingman's"' budget was noted in a federal labor department report. It said the weekly budget for the aver- age family for staple foods, fuel, light and rent was $15.01, almost $2 a week higher than a year earlier. Food ate up $8.69 a week in Canada while Manitoba _ resi- dents managed to get by on four cents less. Among the reasons cited for the mounting costs--which have a familiar ring--were excessive transportation costs, high inter- est rates and "gambling" in The last of the geese died alg KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HOLD ANNUAL POLISH: NIGHT At the 8th annual Polish Night held Saturday eve- ning by the Knights of Col- Kitchener Woman Recalls 60 Years As Graduate Nurse KITCHENER, Ont. (CP)--Am 80-year-old woman who enrolled more than 60 years ago at the Waterloo-Berlin (now Kitchener- Waterloo) Hospital school of nursing says today's nurse is as dedicated as Florence Night- ingale was. "There has to be that some- thing or they wouldn't go into nursing," says Mrs. C. Ora Walper who spends one after- noon. a. week 'making surgical dressings at the Kitchener Red Cross branch. A petite woman, the 1909 nursing graduate last wore her professional cap about 40 yéars ago. As student nurses in just- below-the-knee uniforms hurry by, Mrs. Walper thinks of her ankle-length outfit with sleeves to the wrist. A nurse 60 years ago worked 12-hour shifts compared to to- day's eight hours. Nurses aides didn't exist--the girls in white did everything. Surprisingly, there wasn't as great a shortage of nurses then as now. There were fewer hos- pitals, of course, and they were used less. For instance, most babies were delivered at home by a midwife or the family doctor, Mrs. Walper remembers, She inherited her interest in nursing from her grandmother who, long before the profes- sional nurse existed, used to fill that role in her native German community, tending the sick and mixing home-made oint- ments and medicines. Today's wonder drugs still contain many of the basic in- gredients used in these home grain and foods. remedies, Mrs. Walper says. umbus to honor the men and women of the Oshawa ger, Mrs. Peter Soltys and Mrs. Gerry Forestall.
