The main pur- pose of the subject used to be to make these females proficient enough in cooking and sewing, so that they could fend for themselves and for their husbands and families when Mother was no longer around to do these things. Once a girl got past the besics, she used to learn the social amenities of entertaining and the many other aspects of what was once considered strictly a female's duty and field of endeavor. And if a girl was especially talented, and could afford to do so she would attend MacDonald Institute at the University of Guelph to further her education. In fact, the U. of G. was pretty well segregated when it first began. The Ontario Agricultural College began in 1874: the On- tario Veterinary College in 1922 (in Guelph ) and MacDonald Institute in 1903. All the girls went to Mac: all the boys went into Aggies or Vets, and never did the twain meet, tat least educationally. ) Now of course the whole situa- tion has changed. Girls are still in the majority of home economics subjects, especially at the high school level. ( Although I did hear just the other day of a boy who is directing his interests and courses toward home cc. in high school). In general, however. it is no longer taboo for a man to be interested in cooking or sewing. Just the other day I was talking E3 El JOYCE CUNNINGHAM i Joyce is a graduate of the Marvel School of Hair Dressing in London, to a man who dues most of the small sewing and mending jobs in his household. He doesn't mind it and hiseeifejustdoesn't have an aptitude for it. In the realm of the kitchen, there has always been an in- teresting piece of irony. Although, all the best "-chefs" were men. the family cook hardly ever was. a man. It is just like women's lib in reverse. Men are starting to en- croach upon what was once a female's domain. But as the attitudes of society and of individuals have changed, so has the educational institution itself. Even when. I attended the University of Guelph two years ago, it was pretty much of a rarity for a male to be taking any courses from MacDonald In- stitute. But just a couple of weeks ago, I had an opportunity to attend a press day at the 17, of G., and believe me, a lot has been happening around there lately. The purpose of the day was to give members of the media a chance to see for themselves the changes which have taken place within the last four years. MacDonald Insititute is no more. The building still stands; many of the same professors are there; and a lot of the traditional courses are still taught, but it is almost impossible anymore to label someone a "Mac girl". When I was at Guelph, the name applied to all the girls enrolled in what was basically a home economics course. Despite the fact that they had it all over us in seniority, as far as the establishment of the college went, they used to get quite a. teasing. Now you are apt to get a swift kick from a burly football- player type if you suggested that he was anything akin to a "Mac girl." Accordingly, the name of the faculty has changed to the College of Family and Consumer Studies (FACSI and includes the department of family studies, the department of consumer studies and the school of hotel and ford administration, If you look hard, you can still find the traditional practical courses of clothing construction and foods, but they are tempered with courses like "quantitative food analysis" and "clothing as related to human behavior". As well as the food and textile oriented courses, there is a program offered in applied human nutrition. Students .study children's food habits and patterns of food consumption, in order. to develop and better the JOAN DAVID Joan is a graduate of the K-W Hair Dressing School in Kitchener. relationship between man and his food. Child studies is another area of study taught in the Family Studies section of the university. Child development is studied. within the context of the family and total environment. The students work with all ages of children in all stages of physical, mental and social growth and development. Family studies is the third major area of concentration in this area. Students study in- dividuals, their interaction and environment. and problem solving, all towards the purpose of maintaining and improving family life in today's fast moving society. One of the most recent, and quickly expanding departments is FACS in the department of consumer studies. This involves everything from food and textile consumption to consumer educa- tion. The university takes inter- disciplinary approach to the sub- ject, but all have a common concern for standardization of products, advertising and con- sumer credit. The department has taken part in a food consumption conference with industry, government, media, advertisers and nutritionists. They have also been approached about under- taking a five-year textile study. The long range purpose of such activities is not the academic accomplishments of students in- volved, but rather is designed with the welfare of the consumer in mind. All in all, it is quite a switch from the old days of cooking-and- sewing home economics. I'm sure there are probably some people who regret this partial desegregation of the sexes. And I am equally sure there are many men who wouldn't touch FACS with a ten-foot darning needle. But personally, I think that if a person is working toward the benefit of society in general and the individual in particular, I don't care whether that person's name is Pat or Chris. (Now I wonder which is the boy and which is the girl? ) Huronview News Mrs. Warren, Crediton led the Christian Women's Club song service Sunday in the chapel. Mrs. Campbell, Crediton accom- panied the singing as well as solo numbers on the accordion. A Croup of ladies who are taking a home making course at Conestoga College have been at the home this week assisting in various departments and the ac- tivity programs. There were 10 tables of euchre and other games at Wednesday afternoon's get-together in the auditorium. Nineteen Girl Guides from Goderich along with their leader Mrs. Brady visited Huronview on Family Night and provided a variety program. Marion Melick introduced the program which included group singing by the girls: dance numbers by Kimmy Brady. Heather Brender: banjo solos by Marie Balton; violin solos by Paula Butler accom- panied at the piano by Marlene McDougal. Mrs. Christina Thompson thanked the guides and their leader on behalf of the residents. One of the many interesting things she does have unpacked, however, is her beautiful collec- tion of antique Canadian glass. She said that when she started to collect it, it was relatively sim- ple. not too many others were doing the same. But she has stopped now because it is almost impossible to get.

FLEECY Fabric Softener 128 oz. $159 Monarch Sponge PUDDINGS oL 4/spo Mrs. A.D. (Olga) MacWilliam and her husband had three very special reasons for moving to Exeter, and they are really glad to be here. They have lived in their Main street apartment for about a month since their move from Wingham. The main drawing card to Ex- eter was their three grandchildren, Catherine, Doug and Tom Raymond, children of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Raymond. Mrs. Raymond is the only daughter of the MacWilliams, By moving to Exeter the MacWilliams also hope to miss some of the snow, They have lived in Wingham since 1937 and Mrs. MacWilliam said she hopes for a little better winter weather with their move to Exeter, "I hope that we're moving away sfia•oidm the north country," she Mrs. MacWilliam has never particularly liked the snow, but she has good reason. She was born in Puerto Rico and lived there for the first part of her life. She met her husband there and after they were married they moved to the United States, where they lived for a few years before moving to Wingham. Mr. MacWilliam was the Ford dealer in Wingham until his retirement, Mrs. MacWilliam still speaks Spanish fluently and will be able to use it a little when she and her husband go back to Puerto Rico after Christmas. They are plan- ning a four month trip to see Mrs. MacWilliam's brothers and sisters, who still all live there. They have been lucky, however, in that all of them have visited several times over the years. But she said that they usually speak English most of the time anyway, The MacWilliams didn't have much time to prepare for their move because they sold their house rather suddenly. Thus most of their time during the past month has been spent un- packing and arranging everything in their new home. Mrs. MacWilliam said she didn't think she would do anymore ex- cept hang the pictures until the spring.
