The former Canadian Feder- , ation president, Mrs. Maude Baylay, outlined the formation of public forums on Canadian federalism, a project which she `asked the Ontario group to pilot. "The forums will make it pos- sible for the electorate to be better informed on what is tak- ing place and what should take ,place in Canada, " she said. The public forums will be non-partisan. She said that no elected member of federal, pro- vincial or municipal govern- ment would be allowed to par- ticipate either in preliminary study groups or the forums. She suggested that the pilot project be a study of the British North America Act. The delegates were unani- mous in passing a resolution submitted by the Toronto B&PW, requesting the government of Ontario to amend the Ontario rnployment Standards Act, Part Fie'(Equal Pay for Equal Work). The Canadian president, Mrs.' Margaret Ashdown, ..spoke at the banquet. She said, "The so- called Just society spoken of by politicians cannot be achieved in government alone. Until we as Canadians show we are con- cerned about one another, there will be no just society. " She also said that it is shock- ing that less than four per cent of the working women in this country hold executive position% The myth that the housewife's only place should be in t h e home is now a thing of the past. "Imagine the state of Canada's economy if the present female labor force .moved back into the home," she said. Mrs. Ashdown stressed the need for housewives and moth- ers to prepare themselves in ad- vance of returning to work. B&PW clubs in Ontario are as- sisting women to return to busi- ness or professions by conduct - ing personal development sem- inars and re-training programs. In the matter of promotions she told her audience that women must striae for excellence if they want to be recognized. Mrs. Evelyn Chaffe, con- ference chairman, introduced Mrs. Millicent Akinsulure., the former Millicent Frazer of Sier- ra Leone, who had travelled from New York to attend the conference. Mrs. Akinsulure was one of the African students sponsored by the Ontario group in conjunction with African Students Foundation several 1'. years ago. She received h e r B. A.. degree at the Univeristy of Western Ontario and then studied library science at the Univeristy of Toronto. The Akinsulures live in New York where her husband is d o - ing post graduate work before returning to Sierra Leonewhere he will be on staff at the uni- versity there.
