Farm Women Consider Careers Nearly half the group of farm women recently involved in Farm Forum are interested in entering occupations outside the home. Reports from 350 groups, in- volving some 4, 000 farm wo- men, indicate that close to one- half the farm wives have con- sidered taking work to augment income or would consider it if they had the necessary skills. At the same time, there are serious reservations about the effect such work will have on the family, the marriage and the farm business. Nearly three-quarters of the women would undertake further training or education if it were available. Chief barriers to such edu- cation and training, listed in order, were: a. transportation; b. lack of time; c. family com- mitments (no baby-sitters); d. cost; e. no classes available. The following comments are typical. "Circumstances vary. We have cases where the doctor ad- vised the mother to go to work for the sake of her mental health and the treatment seem- ed to work wonders. In other cases, work outside the home seems to put further strain on the woman. A lot of adjust- ment needs to be made by all members of the family." "Husband apt 10 becomedis- couraged and feel he has lost 'face'. Some thought he might try stepping out for a warm din- ner if housework suffers." "The family, especially the children, eventually suffer if the mother spends much time outside the home. When the children are small the mother's place is in the home. If there are no children, or they are older and away from home, the mother might then enjoy doing something outside the home in her spare time." "In some cases the effects would be beneficial as the fi- nancial situation would be im- proved and consequently every - OPEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVERY EVENING UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE Fresh Laidlaw Turkeys Available LAIDLAW'S UTILITY GRADE GOVERNMENT INSPECTED TURKEYS 39c Le KITCHENER PACKERS PURE PORK SAUSAGE b -LB.

"This is an individual de- cision, depending on the age of the family, size of farm, fin- ancial position and tempera- ment of the women." "The world would be a bet- ter place to live, if it were compulsory for women, allover the world, to remain in the home and give full attention to the job they undertook the day of their marriage." "Throughout her life, there is a need for women to further their education. If she really wants to, this is possible through the mass media. Home is a woman's centre, but need not be her circumference." "It was agreed that practic- ally everyone would take fur- ther training if it were made available. Perhaps if more wo- men would take up "cottage in- dustries" such as rug -making, weaving or other handicrafts, they would use their spare time to better advantage and aug- ment their income with the pro- duct of their skills. Sometimes women fail to take advantage of educational assets such as bookmobiles. "All of us would undertake further training or education with the idea of improving our- selves, not for remunerative positions away from home. The main problem is transportation to places where the training is available." LOCAL HOMES CHANGE HANDS Mrs. W. W.

It's the neat, crisp, fresh young look, right for the girl, appropriate for the occasion, always in good taste, smart, and completely feminine. Fortunately, the formula for finding well-mannered clothes is no secret. For various occa- sions there are many fashions with the classic, tasteful look. The secret is selecting them in the proper fit — in flattering, co-ordinated colors and styles — and in fabrics that will stay neat and wrinkle -free. These fabrics — for example, one that is a blend of orlon acrylic and cotton, rayon or wool give the added bonus of easy care right at the time when the busy teen is starting to look after her own clothes. Being fashionable'pretty is not only good taste for a teen, it pays off in drawing attention to her youthful assets at the on- ly time in her life when she has them. S.
