TODAY'SCHILD BYHELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO I SYNDICATE Chris is a loveable, five-year-old, Cree Indian. He has wavy chestnut-colored hair, dark eyes and olive skin. The glasses are r -ear-sightedness. cetive, busy Chris is behind the average child his age - especially in speech. But he is having speech therapy and psychologists feel his greatest need is for the company of other children so he will learn from playing with them. Last year he attended a special nursery school but now is enrolled in regular kindergarten. From being an aloof little fellow, Chris has become sociable with both children and adults. In general he is good-natured and co-operative, but he bas a temper and can be stubborn. Chrisis not expected to be a great scholar but he has made great strides and is doing better than anyone could have predicted a year or So ago. He needs warm, loving parents who will help him continue his progress but will not be unrealistic in their expectations. To inquire about adopting Chris, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter please tell something of your present family and your way of life.

Between 1960 and 1962 it educed several hundred recommendations - in six volumes - on how to im- prove government effi- ciency at less cost. After announcing it wouldadopt certain recommendations, .the government handed the job over to the same bureaucracy that was to be reorganized. The bureaucrats' answer was to hire consultants to re-examine the recommen- dations and report back to them. Naturally the con- sultants weren't about to play down the importance of the people who had hired them or to recom- mend cutting out potential future employers --quite the reverse. Both parties had the same incentive - not to eut back but to build up. Ten years later the con- sultants are still busy, at an annual cost of about $1 billion in fees alone. The result: 443,192 federal civil servants in 1974 com- pared to 294,750 in 1962. That's about 12,000 more every year. We have new departments, new divisions of old departments, new agencies and more and more layers of highly paid officials regulating every- thing from egg prices to bilingual labels. What Canada needs is an up- dated Glassco report for action by Parliament, not bhthe bureaucracy. Under the Consumer Lab ng and Packaging Act;,-ll non-food items sold in Canada since Sept. 1, 1975, require bilingual labels. The same will apply to food items from March 1, 1976. Last month a small Winnipeg oil com- pany - Radio Oil - was threatened with seizure of more than $5,000 worth of antifreeze because the lables were in English only. A food importer -- B.L. Marks, of Thornhill, Ont. -- told the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business that "a large part of our products will dis- appear from the market. Many of our suppliers will not make a separate bilin- gual package for Canada." Quebec's Bill 22 which Yes.

Treasurer's statement was given. Corre- spondence was read. Mrs. B. Mutton and Mrs. C. Downey volunteered to go as leaders to the Senior Training School at Maple Grove in November for the course "Salute To Vegetables." Roil Call "My favorite roll as a homemaker" was taken and the collection was received. Mrs. Twist' convener for, Family and Consumer Affairs, took charge of the following programme. Motto "A woman's home should be the centre of her world, not the circumference" was given Mrs. Tomlinson, she sai , women are featured to-day 'more than ever before, their roles are varied for each, a house can be a home or a dwelling. A woman can work outside the home with good organization and co-operation from the rest of the family, each has her own talents and these can open many doors. Miss Tompkins our Home Economist was introduced by Mrs. Twist. She spoke on Food Prices. To begin with she asked if everyone could afford nutritious meals these days especially the ones on a fixed income. She conducted a game which showed we don't always put nutrition first, it depends on the circumstances of the meal we are planning. Supply and demand is the main factor in the price of food today. Cost of production, especially labor, strikes, ad- vertising, packaging, weather, these are all a factor in todays prices. We can save money on food several different ways such as using the cheaper cuts of meat, change our food habits, eat just what we need don't over eat, use skim milk powder, do not buy conveni- ence food, plant your own garden, freeze vegetables, preserve your own fruit, buy the specials, compare prices and quantities, and read labels.
