Canadians promote
Consvmer's week
O f all the different
0prornoticoe Weeks that are
with us today, the. week of
March 1.-7 is the only one that
includes the entire population
COOSUrrie.r. Week in Canada,
197%
It includes everyone simply
because it is impossible not to be
a consumer. We are consumers
the moment we are horri and
remain -consumers until we die.
Hence, the extremely applicable
slogan chosen by Comsumers'
ASSociatiori of Canada to mark
the first week in March —
"Consumers Count!"
The main idea of having a
consumer week, Consumers'
Association of Canada officials
point out, is to focus everyone's
attention on themselves and the
role they play in Canada's
economy. Without consumers,
the very logical argument goes,
there just wouldn't be an
economy,.
Across the country, CAC
branches from March 1 to 'I will
endeavor to bring home to the
public the need ' for intelligent
and wise application of
consumer knowledge in their
day-to-day dealings in what one
economist has said "is a
confusing — indeed a frightening
— marketplace."
Consumers' Association of
Canada is the only solidly
organized body of consumers
which represents everyone at
government and manufacturing
levels. At the same time, the
Association conducts a
continuing program of consumer
information.
Main effort in this program is
its b1-monthly magazine,
"Canadian Consumer". This
comes automatically to all
members of the Association, and
since membership is open to
everyone, anyone may receive
the magazine by joining CAC. A
free brochure on how to join is
available by writing to
Consumers' Association, 100
Gloucester St., Ottawa 4.
Whenever a buying guide is
published in the magazine, it is
reprinted later in leaflet form
and made available free, in single
copies only, to all those
requesting it.
Current reprints available are:
•' Automatic clothes dryers,
Automatic dishwashers, Carpets
and rugs, Credit, Freezers and
freezer food plans, Hockey
equipment, Household
equipment, Stereos, Stoves.
Address to write is:
Consumers' Association of
Canada, 100 Gloucester St.,

Mini-course for
community ladies
It makes sense for consumers
to want to get the most for their
money, There are very few who
can afford not to be concerned
about the ever rising cost of
Jiving and no one can learn too
much about how to stretch the
shrinking dollar.
Commencing next Monday
the students and staff of the
Home Economics department at
Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology will conduct a series
of lecture-demonstrations called
a Mini course for Maxi Savings.
The course will be held each
Monday and Wednesday evening
for three weeks at '7:30 p.m. in
the food laboratory of the
Administration Building.
Stress will be placed on
obtaining the maximum value
for the deflated housekeeping
dollar.
The topics of the lectures are
The Wise Use of Credit, March 2;
Clothing and Food Budgeting,
March 4; Wardrobe Planning,
March 16; New Trends in
Nutrition, March 18; The
Household Executive, March 23;
New Fabrics, March 25.
There will be much in this
course for everyone, but
mothers with growing families
who are striving to hold the line
on heir household budgets might
be well advised to take
advantage of these evening
lectures and demonstrations.
Miss M. McGhee, associate
principal of the college informed
the Times-Advocate Monday
that 24 persons have already
registered but there is room for
many more. The fee is minimal.
THE FOODS DISPLAY and demonstrations at Centralia College's Open House last week were
tantalizing to the eye and delectable to the palate to those lucky enough to receive a sample. Pictured
with part of the display is Marie Mewhinney, Lucknow, a senior student. The recipes are printed below.

U
She's a grand old lady of
many moods!
The city of Toronto, I mean,
I can't claim the privilege of a
native daughter, but I did live
there long enough to get
attached to the old girl.
Ever/time we've been back in
the last twenty years she's, been
in the process of having an
operation. Either her face is
being lifted, her inners cut out,
pr her shape changed by
transplants or replants, And she
springs back better than ever.
New buildings reaching
skyward keep changing her
skyline as they replace the old
familiar building of another era.
Like the country bumpkin I
am, I go and I gape and I gawk
and enjoy everything abotit her
but especially the new buildings.
Last week standing at the
foot of one of the newest and
highest, the Toronto Dominion
Centre, we (my family and I)
strained our necks back as far as
we could and watched with
scary delight and fascination as
the top of the building swayed
back and forth ever so gently like
a giant tower built of rubber
blocks.
This colossal building,. simply
designed of glass and black
polished granite is a magnificent
structure. Towering 745 feet
straight up to 56 floors its
population is more than two and
a half times that of Exeter.
* * *
We took an express elevator
to the 54th floor. It was silent
and swift. My ears plugged and
to clear them I had to keep
swallowing.
Fortunately, it was almost as
fast as a jet and in a few seconds
we were up on the observation
gallery.
From that vantage point
everything is dwarfed. The
Royal York Hotel looked like a
tiny toy castle far below. The
dinky cars in the streets and
expressways were like a child's
Hot Wheels set.
For me, at least, time seemed
to slow down, and for two
spell-bound hours I watched the
tiny match-stick people moving
about in the scene below.
I knew, because I had just
come from there, that down on
the streets, there was noise,
confusion of traffic and people
rushing around so thick and so
fast they were hardly discernable
one from the other.
But from that great height,
even though colors, wearing
apparell or the sex of each
person, were undefinable, the
infinitely small stick people
seemed to take on distinct
individuality as they moved
purposely about.
* * *
The traffic seemed to move
more slowly too and each little
car could be followed by the eye
for many blocks or maybe miles
before it passed out of sight.
Somehow the actions of every
person and each car with people
in it became more purposeful
from that high vantage point.
It reminded me of looking
into the workings of a small
wrist watch and seeing each tiny
part doing its job and knowing if
one part breaks down and fails
to function, the whole
mechanism of the watch will
suffer.
My thoughts from the top of
the Toronto Dominion Centre
were that each of those 'tiny
people' were important too and
designed to carry on a special
function in the world. * * *
We had lunch on the 54th
floor overlooking Lake Ontario.
The islands off the bay appeared
ridiculously small and we
wondered why it used to take us
so long to hike from one to the
other in our younger days.
There was no shipping
activity in the harbour but in a
short time, when the ice melts
and the St. Lawrence Seaway
opens up, cargo ships from all
over the world will be pulling
into Toronto again. * * :1 /4
It was not the best time of
the year to look out over the
city. Everything was in shades of
grey, black and white except for
the green roofs of the parliament
Buildings and the Canadian Bank
of Commerce. But every so
often the eye caught the flat
places scattered through out the
thickly populated city which are
the city parks.
That's another thing good
about Toronto. For all its huge
size it boasts of many parks.
Driving around later we passed
more open air skating rinks than
I could count. Most of the
schools have their own rinks and
I'm sure all the parks have one. * * *
In 'fact it's very strange that
you can go to a city of that size
and magnitude and spend a
wonderful flay in the Country!
Earlier this winter our relatives
Invited us down with. the
instructions to come equipped
With lots of warm clothes and all
our winter. sports gear.
Shortly after we arrived we
piled into cars and .drove to a
park not too far from where
they live in north Toronto.
First we tobogganed down
the slopes of the valley and then
moved'. on to skating at the
outdoor rink. I hadn't done this
since I was a little girl and had
almost forgotten the pure

peaches and syrup and:
For Apple: add 1/2 cup apple
juice or cider. During last 5 to
8 minutes, add 3 thick apple
slices, halved.
For Plum: add 1/4 cup cider
vinegar and 1/2 cup syrup
drained from 1 17-ounce can
purple plums, During last 5 to
8 minutes add drained plums
and heat.
Have a sturdy step-stool or
step-ladder designed for home
use. Stand firmly on the steps.
Mount no higher than the
second step from the top. Wear
low-heel shoes. Above all, never
lean away; that stretch may start
