Did you ever wonder what is
really meant by some of the labels
on consumer goods which are,
supposed to help us in our daily
battle of the budget? Ruth Millet
in Modern Living makes some
pertinent points worth repeating:

*What is really meant when
one buys a dress marked ‘crease
resistant’ — do you really think
that the dress won’t have to be
pressed every time you wear it?
ALL that label actually says is
thatthe fabric will RESIST
creasing; or the one which says
‘needs little or no ironing’ — if
a dress or suitneeds any ironing,
who is to decide whether it is
a little or a lot? =

«One thing you can be sure of
if the tag says ‘little or no’
it isn’t going to be ‘no ironing’
that is required,

*Oh yes, then there is the
‘wash and wear’ garment. . .well
what does that mean actually, —
only that you can wash and wear
it, and you can do that with any
fabric whether it has a label or
not, if you don’t care how you
look, And what does ‘long
wearing’ on a label really mean,
when they don’t tell you how
‘long’ long is? It would savea
lot of disappointment ifall double
talk labels had to be clearly
labelled ‘double talk.”

We can help stop this form of
deception if we demand clearcut,
unequivocal descriptions of items
we purchase, making our de-
mands known to both manu-
facturer and retailer,

Noticed two small items in the
U.S, News of March, 1965, which
are of interest to women: One,a
news release from Ottawa stated
that the total female population
of Canada rose by 23% since 1954,
and the number of working women
in the nation increased by 54%
making Canada’s total female
labor force 1,900,000.

The other item wasfrom Japan’

and informed us that a phonetic
typewriter known as Sonotype is
being perfected at Kyoto Univer-
sity there, This machine will
automatically type from the
spoken word without need for a
stenographer or a typist, The
typewriter keys are activated by
speaking into a microphone, and

automatically print what is
spoken,
Estimation here is that the

machine will be ready for mar-
keting in five years, Atthattime,
it could eliminate the jobs of one
and a half million secretaries
in Japan alone, Workona similar
machine is going on in New York
and Switzerland,

Still on automation, this time
regarding baking cakes, which
has become a very automated
process also, A hugenew bakery
built by the kitchens of Sara Lee
is almost entirely run by a 610
digital computer, This machine
mixes, bakes, packages, freezes,
and stores 12 different kinds of
cakes, It also fills orders for
them, starts them on their way
to the store, and looks after some
of the bookwork,

This computer whips up
120,000,000 cakes in a year, It
remembers, in addition to the
recipes for each of the 12 kinds
of cakes produced, the exact
position of each cake in the pro-

duction line (updating its memory

on this every 15 seconds), and

when and where each load of
cakes is stored in the huge
freezer which can hold 8,000,000
cakes at atime. There are still
a few jobs in the process which
must be done by humans, suchas
seasoning and frosting the cakes,

The main advantage of this
electronic wonder. says a
spokesman for the bakery, is that
it ensures a uniformity of quality
which would not be achieved
otherwise,

‘Mathieson’s activities

More than 100 people gathered
at the Stry Hall last Sunday at
a banquet to honor Helen Math-
ieson,
the labor and progressive move-
ment in B.C. on the occasion
of her 80th birthday.

Warm tributes were paid to
the veteran woman Communist
who started her political activ-

ities in the early socialist move- .

ment in Vancouver and continues.
to be active today in the fight
for peace and socialism,

Mona Morgan recalled Mrs,
in the
«Hungry Thirties” in the women’s
movements and in the unem-
ployed and peace struggles, She
paid warm tribute to Mrs,
Mathieson’s courage, youthful
spirit and enthusiasm,

Maurice Rush, PT Associate
Editor, who worked closely with
Mrs, Mathieson during the last
thirty years, traced her contri-
bution to the labor and Communist
movement on the Pacific Coast,

«Helen Mathieson began her
activities in the socialist move-
ment in B,C, in 1912 and is one
of the early pioneer socialists
whose activities helped lay the
foundation for the emergence of
the Communist Party of Canada
in later years,” said Rush.

In a warm tribute to her work,
Rush said that for more than
half a century Helen Mathieson
