‘We know you have ideas which you pass on to husbands t¢
bring up at meetings of their Locals But do YOU try to influence
public opinion with those ideas? i.

For instance. We know you are
lignant at the request by

dealing only with these things
that affect the day-to-day living
of the people. Take an intelligent

, eS boards that parents should
rovide extra soft-soled shoes,
that “gym” floors in which school

classes are being held, should not
be marked.

» We admit it is good for chil-
dren to change shoes in school
rooms, but it is an added burden
to the already high cost of cloth-

ing the family.

How do you feel about the Van-

couver City Council idea that a

i new education tax should take the

place of the poll tax, a tax on

‘women as well as on men? This

means taxation without .repre-

sentation, since only registered

7 property-owners are allowed to
vote in civic elections.

Are you anxiously awaiting the
Dominion , Government decision
bout removal of rent controls?
@: YOU among the women
hose lives are lived in constant
dread of increased rent?

Worse still, are you among the
mothers whose children are not
welcome in rooms or suites, and
who have to pander-to the whims
of landlords and tenants by con-

stantly “shushing” the children

; when they are home, and dread-
ing when they are out playing on
dangerous streets.

Would YOU like to live in a
low-rental house, or be able to
buy a home at a cost you could
afford?

Other women are discussing all
these things in women’s organiza-
tions, and when enough women
make enough noise, they will get
action.

In your neighborhood there are
Parent-Teacher branches, or Lo-
cal Councils of Women, or Com-
munity Groups. Discuss with
your menfolks what the unions
are doing. Conoslidate your
ideas. Get them into concrete
form, and make yourselves heard.

Every women’s , organization
welcomes the woman who is well
informed, good-tempered, speaks
clearly and has something to say.
She does not need to have a uni-
versity education to get a hear:
ing. She just needs common
sense, and a need in common
~ with other women,

And the time to do it is now.

The B.C. Legislature will be
sitting again early in_the year.
There the Vancouver City Char-
ter will be amended. In March

. rents may be decontrolled in the
Dominion Parliament. An early
Dominion-Provincial meeting will

. discuss low-rental housing. Last

week, questions were asked in the

House of Commons about the

; high cost of home building.

There is nothing mysterious
about politics. It is the art of
governing and whether in the
home, in the province, or in the
Dominion, men and women are

interest in what is happening to
you and for you, and if you don’t
like it, say so. Then with other
people, get out and see that
changes are made,

Remember women, you have
voices and votes, and while you
can use your votes only on poll-
ing day, you can use your voice
any day of the week in the inter-
est of your home and your family
and of workers generally.

The Lunch Box

For men who like beans, and
for that odd day when there's
just nothing in the house for
lunches, try the following:

Melt three tablespoonsful of
butter or margarine, add % cup
of finely diced celery and one
grated onion. Simmer for 5 to
10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add one can of baked beans, a
dash of Worcester sauce or to-
matoe sauce, salt and pepper.
Simmer till heated through, mix
well and chill. On whole wheat
bread this makes a satisfying and
nourishing sandwich.

Six-year-old Tommy was for-
ever telling the folks at home
about his new pal Joe at school.
As far as Tommy was con-
cerned, Joe was the smartest
boy on earth. Everything that
Joe did was tops.

A neighbor told his mother
one day that Tommy’s closest
pal at school was a colored boy,

so that evening she asked him:
“Tommy, you never told me
that Joe was colored?”
“Colored?” said the child,
“What’s colored?”
“Why his skin is darker than
yours, isn’t it?”
Tommy thought for a while,
and then answered, “I don’t

know, but I’ll look tomorrow.”

WINTER PROGRAM
FOR 1-80 AUX.

A vigorous drive for member-
ship is under way in the Women’s
Auxiliary to Local 1-80, IWA.

At a meeting held in Lady-
smith on Oct. 26, Sister Ouellette
in the chair, plans were laid for
a winter’s program of activity.
As the IWA Local in this area
has a large membership, it was
felt that a large W.A. member-
ship was a certainty. -

President Joe Morris, president
of Local 1-80, and financial sec-
retary Edwin Linder were pres-
ent. The president of the Lady-
smith Sub-Local, Jim Galloway,
was also on the scene to give the

aE gas Pia A women his support.
