To meet them we need the thinking of rural women, who possibly are most infected by surplus production. “The time_h_as come for informed consumer opinion ii We are to meet me challenge of this age. If mother knows the facm, soon {wary member of the family knows them. The C.A.C. helps bring these Winomic facts to the women of Can- anal" )lrs. Wright asked for a larger number of Women’s Institute mem- i,._i-s to join the C.A.C. so that form women would have a'representation in lhat organization comparable to the number of urban members. Mrs. Wright described the past and current work of the C.A.C. Food prob- chIS are most important today to lmusewives and there is a. great lack nu, knowledge where the consumer's ll llar really goes. At present con- snlcrable work is being done by l'A.C. on urging consumption of vita- .ed apple juice.

Mrs. Wright also mentioned the \‘.A.C. endeavours in the standard- :iti’on of sizes and labelling of cloth« Miss Marjorie Scott, a member of ie Nutrition Division, Food and Agri- ulture Organization of the United Nations came from Washington to nldress the session on "CURRENT \‘F‘ORMATION 0N F.A.0." No one country has yet solved all is food problems and despite pro- .ross in the food situation of the i orld there is no cause whatever for implacengy. Women’s Institute members can .qu the cause of F.A.O. by keeping ‘l'eflsl: of the world‘s food situation ' rl stimulating thought, not only on wild food roblems but on the neces- .Ly at raising standards of nutrition .n their own country and their own i mnniunities. Miss Scott dealt with the advisory nick of the F.A.0. Nutrition Division, "l’llEh ofl'ers information and guidance ‘ i the 60 member Nations of F.A.O. For example they are at present unducting a study of the ways and eons of using rice and the ways and means of using skim milk. Canadian Industries W Dr. H. L. Patterson, Director of rarm Economics, Ontario Department Hi Amiculture addressed the Confer- vilve on "WHERE ARE WE GOING N CANADIAN INDUSTR ". He gave the delegates an up-to-date : lcture of the Canadian Industry “In anada at present," he said. “we are “(mg through somethinglike an indus- flrlal revolution. Many industries in shade thCh were formerly only built 3'? Operate for local markets behind nlch tariffs have suddenly grown up ‘0 Operate on a large scale and com- pete in world trade without artificial tariff. For uample there is now no tariff on most of the machinery for “Win use between Canada and the Uiuted States. This has coincided With more machinery being mannâ€" iactured in Canada. Some of our Canadian firms now find their best market in the United States. 1p the old days new settlers in On- tario grew practically everything on their farms that they needed for livmghwool for clothing. wood for housinir. standard food articles for the table, standard crops for livestock, home made soap, etc. Today it is the reverse. Now the clothing of farm families is factory-made, household “Fillies are all purchased. even food as undergone revolution, meat and butter being purchased.” 7 _ .Reporting the tremendous upsurge In_industry- in the past few years, he said that during 1949 between 100 and i l50 new industries were established in'Canada, 47 of these came to Ont- ario. These plants represent a capital investment of from $100,000,000 in $130,000,000 and will employ any- where froni 10,000 to 20,000 persons. In addition many Canadian firms are stepping up and improving produc- tion._ For example in aeroplane pru- ductlun Canada leads the world in the new jet planes. Ontario is on the way to becoming largely an industrial area with the farms becoming largely re-urganized to supply the type of fresh products needed in those areas. Conservation Mr. F. Thomas, M.L.A., Elgin County gave a very interesting ad- dress on the findings of the SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION. This committee, representing the three major political parties in Out- ario's Legislature. had travelled through Ontario, visiting 55 com- munities and hearing opinions of a large section of the population The committee's findings have been pub- lished in a brief tabled in the Louis- lature last March. He recommended that every brunch Women's Institute obtain a copy of this brief are study it. (Copies of the brief are available from the Loan Library, Women‘s Institute Branch). Mr. Thomas stressed the vital necessity of a conservation project in Ontario. Cash crop farming has depleted the soils in South Western Ontario more than we are aware. In the Oltawa Valley, on the other hand, many for- tile farms stand ou' as the result of gnod management In some northern areas 3800 snuare milcs should go back to forests on account of pro- vailing rocks shallow soil. In some areas mor‘ adequate water supplies must lir found. No governmcnt has made {undnnicntal studies as to water and its controll We must have ade- quate \iatoi- supplics. abundant Ell: lrical anur and sullicient transpor atinn if our Communities are to Ihrii We have a wonderful country. S encry and natural resources abound. Tli‘ ability to develop our resources can be developed The Women's Institutes at this par- ticular lime in this Province have tho opportunity of doing il conservation job that will pav good dividends and will be of untold value to Ontario.

Fifty percent of the German people before the last war were not Nani, yet only one percent actively opposed Hitler. Had those people fearlessly stood up to their own responsibilities, they could have changed the history of the world and our sons would never have gone to war. Unless self discipline exists, demo- cracy cannot work, Mrs. Sayre said, as she urged women to become better informed; to come to grip with facts; to evaluate the information they hear not by radio or by press but in terms of their own good common sense and experience; not to be pushed around by hysteria or emotion but to stand on their own {cut and form opinions after sifting out the facts.
