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.

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.
