Conservatives Pick New Leader
Ontario will have a new Prem-
ier within the next couple of
weeks, following the election
of William G. Davis as the lead-
er of the Ontario Progressive
Conservative Association last
Friday in Toronto. Mr. Davis
will succeed Hon. John P. Rob -
arts, who announced his decision
to retire a couple of months ago.
The Honourable William G.
Davis, now serving as a member
of the Ontario Legislature, for the
third term, was appointed Min-
ister of Education in 1962, and
the province's first Minister of
University Affairs when the new
portfolio was established in 1964.
He has continued to be respon-
sible for both departments.
Born July 30, 1929 in Brampton,
Ontario, Mr. Davis attended local
elementary and secondary schools
before going to the University of
Toronto, where he received his
B.A. in 1951. In 1954, he grad-
uated with a Bachelor of Laws
degree from Osgoode Hall Law
School.
For the four years following his
being called to the bar, he was
assistant to his father, A.G.
Davis, then Crown Attorney of
Peel County. He also served on
the Brampton Public School Board,
the Peel Memorial Hospital Board
and the Brampton Chamber of
of Commerce. Mr. Davis has
five children, all of school age.
Since becoming an MPP in
1959, Mr. Davis as gained among
the highest electoral majorities
in the province in the two subse-
quent elections. In the Legislature
he has served on almost every
Standing Committee and on the.
Select Committee on the Prob-
lems of Government. He was
also second vice-chainnarn of
the Ontario Hydro -electric Power
Commission.
Education has received Mr.
Davis's fullest attention as being
of paramount importance to the
social and economic develop-
ment of the people of Ontario.
As Minister of Education through
most of the 1960's, he has guided
Ontario education through the
most rapid advances in the prov-
ince's history, and to point where
at the highest level of formal
learning, there now are 14
provincially assisted universities.
Mr. Davis's contribution to
the development of education
in Ontario, at all levels, has
earned him high recognition
throughout Canada and abroad.
Among these tributes are honor-
ary Doctor of Laws degrees from
six universities and the distinct-
ion of having been elected as the
first chairman of the Council of
Ministers of Education, Canada,
when that body was formed

The last thing any woman
wants to be is average. Never-
theless, I have gathered some
interesting details in recent
years on what is "the average
Ontario woman."
At the outset, I had better
make it clear that I see the
following statistics as average,
and the woman they supposedly
represent as very much an ind-
ividual. In any case, here it is:
She is 5 ft. 4 inches tall and
weighs 132 pounds. She eats
3, 200 calories a day and is
always going on a diet. The
Ontario woman annually con-
sumes;
--160 pounds of meat; 353 eggs;
91 pounds of sugar; --seven
pounds of cheese; 103 pounds of
potatoes; --100 pounds of fresh
fruit; 100 pounds of bread; --21
pounds of coffee; 244 quarts of
milk; --42 hot dogs; 191 bottles
of pop; 146 packs of cigarettes;
183 ounces of whiskey.
Some of the things the aver-
age woman doesn't like to hear
is that annually she throws 400
pounds of edible food in the
garbage; she watches television
five hours a day; spends a year
of her life on the telephone;
uses $50 worth of cosmetics
annually; spends 11 times as
much on clothing as her husb-
and; charges 50 per cent of her
purchases and returns 13 percent
of them,
Indeed, the shopping habits
of women in Ontario have far-
reaching economic implications
that are not always appreciated.
Ontario women spend or influ-
ence the spending of an estim-
ated 80 cents of every retail
dollar.
That's why we in the Wom-
en's Advisory Committee make
a point of urging that Ontario
women consider buying Canad-
ian manufactured goods. Trade,
of course, is a two-way street,
and we don't suggest Shbpping
Canadian for nationalism's sake.
Only that Canadian goods and
products be considered when
price and quality compare fav-
ourably with imported items.
There are important dividends
in Shopping Canadian. It helps
PAGE SEVEN
create jobs, encourages our
manufacturers to improve their
goods and services, and helps
factories reduce their unit costs
and export at competitive prices
All these factors enhance our
standard of living. And I have
no doubt that the illusive "aver- ,
age" Ontario woman will go
along with that.
