Feminine Facts ’n Fancies
A Page Devoted to the Interests of the Women Readers of The Times-Advocate
At a meeting of women as
sociated with the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture, Clin
ton, a group of 20 women was
appointed to a committee for the
purpose of increasing interest
and activity among farm women
in regard to federation policy on
a county level.
“The Federation of Agricul
ture is a family affair, and it is
through this organization that we
do our farming business,“ said
Mrs. G. Weir, Burford, Brant
county, who is chairman of the
women’s committee of the On
tario Federation of Agriculture.

THE BETTER
DRY CLEANING!
“Women are seeking office more
than ever, for they wish an out
let for their intelligent thoughts,”
said the veteran member of wo
men’s and farm groups. She
urged the women to study fed
eration policies, and suggested
that they take office whenever
and 'wherever possible. The newly
appointed committee is a com
mittee of the federation, she
said, not a separate organization
of the county.
Should Pertain To County
The provincial Federation, Mrs.
Weir said, has some 17 commit
tees. “It would he wonderful if
these were set up at county
levels. Such committees as health,
education, marketing, public re
lations. income tax and rural as
sessments, would pertain more to
Huron county.” she pointed out.
She said the newly appointed
women's committee could study
the need of Victorian Order of
Nurses in the rural areas. The
county health unit, established in
Huron county in 1949, would not
conflict with the services of Vic
torian Order of Nurses, she said.
“The cost would average less
than 55.no a year on your tax
bill,—and this is a small amount
compared to the services render
ed. There are many rural homes
needing the bedside care offered
by these nurses.”
As ehairman of the health
committee of the provincial Fed
eration of Agriculture, the speak
er told that she will meet in the
near future with Ontario's Mini
ster of Education Dr. W. Dunlop,
to request more Dominion aid
for capital expenditures in the
Ontario public schools. “You, as
'women, can do much,—especially
i from the angle of saving the tax-
• payer from paying peak prices.”
; Schools Too Expensive
She criticized the tardiness on ! ' the public’s part in not looking
into the fact that school boards
all across Ontario that are build
ing new schools are paying top
prices. “School boards hire archi
tects to -draw up plans according
to government regulations for
the fee of six per cent. What are
these government regulations?
i Just mere common sense when it
comes to building—proper light-
j ing, proper heating, fire preven
tion, and so on.’’
Match the glorious fall
colors with clothes
freshly Saaitone dry
cleaned. When all deep
down dirt is removed,
colors fairly sparkle, and
the like-new fit and feel
are restored. Get set for
fall festivities now —
send your family’s
clothes today and avoid
the rush.
In a discussion period,
Lloyd Taylor, Exeter, said
she felt that enough emphasis
has no-t been placed on regular
township meetings of the federa
tion. Mrs. Gordon Greig, of Blue
vale, wife of the county federa-
fon’s secretary-fieldman, stress
ed the importance of the federa
tion women becoming more in
terested in marketing. She added
that when the cream
shrinks, “who is it but the farm
wife who feels it first?”
Workmen’s Compensation was
brought into the discussion as a
practical project for the new
committee to work on. Mrs. T.
Clark, R.R. 5, Goderich, who
acted as chairman of the meet
ing, said that several so-called
“salesmen” for the compensation
were in her neighborhood to
which the guest speaker inform
ed the meeting that the Work
men’s Compensation Board has
no salesmen.
Name Committee
Mrs. 0. G. Anderson, of Wing
ham, urged that the women plan
projects and work at them. The
meeting named the following

Federation of Agriculture: Mrs,
