It's pleasant ta linger befare an open fire on a brisk spring morn- ing, when the sunshine outside is brilliant but coid-particularly pleasant in the added warmth ai spontaneous friendliness which radiates from Mrs. George Drew, the much discussed wife ai the much-discussed new leader af His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, the Progressive Conservative Party ôi Canada. The. Drews have anly recently acquired their two-and-a-half- raom suite in the Roxbarough, in Ottawa. It leaves much ta be desired in the eyes of the new leader's wiie, wha looks forward ta a home oi their own ta house eleven- year-ald Edward and eight- year-old Sandra-a bouse where iniarmal entertaining of the members and their wives, and their ather iriends, will "e pas- sible. "We enjoy doing that sa much," says Mrs. Drew. However, already the small ap- artment in The RoxborouCh has t',.', G. Campbell) taken an the lived-in look which a handful ai spring flawers, the odd photograph, a few well-read books-not ta mention a mistress who has a flair for creating the at- masphere ai home around ber- will give ta the utmost impersan- al ai dwelling places. As ta that matter ai home- making-being a leader's wife, as Fiorenza Drew sees it, is flot a whit different from being the wife ai George Drew, private ci- tizen-or any other wiie, for that matter. "It's tracking around and keeping George really com- fortable-picking up his shirts and sacks, ail that sort ai thing. It's a travellýng salesman's lufe. you know-and if P'm aiong, I can do the things wives do for their husbands. To me making speeches is secondary and inci- dental. Not quite sa secondary, nor in- cidental, is our mental reserva- tian-for the mobile charm ai Mrs. Drew's expressive face, the restrained eloquence af her well- moulded hands, complement a speech which is fluent, sMple, yet neyer repitiaus, always worth listening ta. Yet the lady insists "There is too much emphasis an the fact that I speak--and yet I very seldom speak politically. Naturally," with a quizzical moue, "'I insinuate occasionally that aur party is the best, but af course, I'm prejudiced." Only once did she make a straight political speech, declares the wife af the Progressive Con- servative leader. On that occa- sion, away back in 1945, she spake in Italian, at Sauit Ste. Marie. A graup ai Italian wamen at the "Soo" had arranged a large meet- ing, she recalis, and asked her ta speak ta them aon the Issues at stake in the forthcoming provin- cial election. Mrs. Drew's task in- volved the taking af those issues, point by point, translating and discussing them. "Interpreting policy is a great responsibility for the amateur," she says. "I was always afraid oifloet remembering ail my facts. If I had a photo- graphie memory like George's, couid pigeonhole information like he does .. ...No need ta com- plete the praudly envious sen- tence. A meeting planned by wamen in 1945, for the political educatian ai iarcign-born Canadians, makes one think ai the part which, wo- men will play in the next Federal election. What ai the political attitude ai Canadian women at this time? Fiorenza Drew bas no doubts an that score-but she places the responsibiiity for the interest af women vaters squareiy an the shoulders ai the women themselves. She stresses the fact that -wamen are a power be- caue their voting number is s0 enarmous. Naturaliy, they have the respansibilities ai citizenthip, but it is not enaugh ta get them out ta vote. They must be in- iormed. We ail have ta knaw what we want for aur families. grawing up in this country. e must make ourselves heardý, and we cannot do that intelligently without lcnowledge." ,Ti/UA /INF/À f i ffiAGRS O0F "CANADA UNLIMITED" ~ \r-5 Singing as they paddled, les voyageurs braved icy wlnter winds and turbulent swollen rivers.

How- ever, she confesses that the per- sonal contacts aiter meetings mean mare ta ber than any speech she may make. And as a rule, except an such rare occasion as her speech ta the Women's Cana- dian Club in Winnipeg several months ago, her taiks are nat pre- pared. "I came in with a few words aiter George," she sums it up modestly. And at such times, she likes ta wait for the reaction ai the gathering and ta speak ex- temporaneously. "It is easy ta be spantaneous," she adds, "because peaple everywhere are so terribly enthusiastie about what the Pro- gressive Conservative Party is try:ng ta da-they are sa keen about this country and all it bas ta affer them." This high hope and eager en- thusiasm. were Fiorenza Drew's strangest impression ai the Pro- gressive Conservative convention held in Ottawa last fall-and in that reactian her husband shared. "It seemed ta us," she says, "that delegates came ta the con- vention from al aver Canada, so keen on daing a real job-hun- dreds ai people with the desire ta formulate a palicy for the kind ai lufe they ibeiieved in for the future ai Canada and its youth, the opportunities and individual ireedom which are absoluteiy necessary ta develop this caun- try." Thie way that convention drew Up its piatfarm. was a grand job indeed--and its natural cul- mination came when they chose their leader. "It was a moment ai deep emation for everyone, confesses Fiorenza Drew simply. Herseli young and vital, Mrs. Drew's interest in the yaung people oi Canada in generai, the i Young Progressive Conservatives in particular gaes without say- ing. And what has been the res- ponse of these new Canadian vat- ers ta the clarion call ai a new Federal leader and a revitalized party? In countrvwide perspec- tive, reports Mrs. Drew, the en- thusiasm is trulyi amazing. 'The y oung people are raring ta go- that's the answ,ýer."
