Cellars are no longer used
for food storage, they have be-

neighbours have deep freezers,
but the majority depend upon
the reUtgerntor only for stor-

every two or three days. Very
few have gardens, and career
women depend on the TV din-

There is a great role that
can be played by women and
their organizations in this soc-

Women's Institute will go down
in history as having been one of
the major influences for better
living. I realize that there have
been some changes in the fabric
of your membership since the
organization began. The WI today
is a blend of both rural and
urban women, and this places the
organization in rather a unique
position. At a time when there

COST OF HIGH LIVING
It seems to me, as a subur-
banite surrounded by neighbours
with an urban background that
most of us have been unable to
separate with any degree of ac-
curacy the cost of food from the
cost of living, and the high cost
of living from the cost of high
living. Every week, I accompany
my wife through one or other
of the several supermarkets in
our surburban community. I stand
in line before the cashout coun-
ter while the clerks ring up the
totals on the multitude of pro-
ducts and commodities that have
been collected from among the
thousands of items on the shelves.
It is quite clear that a good
many urban housewives are un-
able or unwilling to make a
distinction between what is food,
and what is not food. In the
average supermarket, you can
buy patent medicines, dishes,
pots and pans, floor polishes
and waxes, hardware, paper
goods, magazines, pet supplies,
soft drinks, garden supplies, fer-
tilizer, peat moss, potted plants,
greeting cards, razor blades,
toys, and copies of the TV guide.
They are picked up at one and
the same time, paid for at the
same cashout counter, and haul-
ed away in the backseat of the
family's second car. How much
of this is really food? How much
of this cost is wrongly being
attributed to food costs? I would
suggest that up to a third of
many of these weekly shopping
bills account for non-food items.
When you add to this the costs
that are created by the demand
for special packages, built-in
services, and partial preparation
for the table, the actual food'

INFLUENCE OF CHANGE
Whether you live in town or on
the farm, you are constantly in-
volved in adapting to the Influen-
ces of change. Here in this
country we have seen more pro-
gress made in terms of human
productivity, mechanization,
education, and better living, in
the last two decades, than had
been made in the previous cen-
tury. We have harnessed the atom
for peaceful purposes, and less
than an hour's drive from this
town, Hydro Electric power will
shprtly be generated by the same
kind of force that wiped out two
cities in Japan at the conclusion
of World War two.
The same material that created
such havoc and destruction is
also now being used to prolong
the storage period for fruits
and vegetables, and it is only a
matter of a very short time
before treatment by irradiation
will enable us to store such
perishable commodities as meat
and milk, for indefinite periods
without the need for refriger-
ation. Think what this develop-
ment can mean to those starving,
under-nourished millions in the
have-not countries of this world,
who are hungry not only because
of food shortage, but because
there is so much wastage and
spoilage under present storage
conditions,

WE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD
Today, despite the loud hue
and cry that we hear in some
circles, workers are able to buy
more food with an hour's wages
than they have ever been able
to buy before. True, the price
of some of our commodities has
increased at the consumer or
retail level, but so have wage
levels, so has purchasing power.
But at a farm level the price
of food products has increased
very little, if at all, and the

The executive of Huron Pres-
byterial UCW met in Wesley-
Willis United Church, Clinton,
to plan the annual meeting.
Since the London Conference
will be held February 27, 28 and
March 1, in C ent r a I United
Church, Woodstock, a tentative
date for the Huron Presbyterial
to meet in Wingh am United
Church was set for February 21
or 23.
It was the unanimous wish of
the executive that one of the
speakers at the Presbyterial be
the president, Mrs. Gilbert Bee-
croft, Belgrave, who had the
honour of being the first woman
to be appointed by Huron Pres-
bytery as commissioner to the
General Council which met at
Waterloo in September.
The 196'7 allocation was tabled
by Mrs. R. McKercher, Dublin,
and the executive recommended
that it be accepted. The increase
will be about twenty-nine cents
per member. By 1968, necessary
funds may be raised by self-
determination and paid through
the church treasury, if test trials
prove successful. Over and Above
Gift Funds this year will be used
for four projects: Banff Christian
Education Centre; a manse in
Fort Nelson; a hospital in Nepal
and a van for Zambia. Mrs.
Walter Bewley, Walton, recom-
mended for reading, Ten Fingers

Mrs. G. W. Tiffin, Wingham,
asked that stewardship convenors
refer to the Observer for suit-
able program material.
