Another problem is the malnutrition of affluence, especially as it affects teenagers. In the hurry of our days we wolf our food. Many teenage girls give up milk and vegetables for the more sophisticated bottle of pop and potato chips. And they grow up inadequate to bear children, either physically or emo- tionally. There is the problem of the “disadvantaged child.“ and one type is the child who can’t get along at school because he has never learned to communicate. No one has talked with him; he does just what he is ordered to do: he watches television but never reads. “This is what an affluent society does to its children.” Dr. McCready said. “Why don't we shriek for home economists to help the family, through education for family life in our public schools? We need to establish patterns of living in homes, patterns of thinking, and manners and morals.” Dr. McCready spoke of the influence the home could have in the present moral revolution in sexual relations, of the individual’s need to feel needed and wanted and cared for in a home. Macdonald Institute’s prospects for develop- ment are good, the Dean Said, but more facilities are needed. Already 252 girls have applied to enter the school in September but there are facilities for only 100. “We don’t want to keep this up.“ Dr. McCready said: “It is up to us to sell this to our Board of Governors.” The Way to be Useful Mrs. L. R. Trivers, President of the Federâ€" ated Women‘s Institutes of Ontario, spoke on the conference theme. a quotation from Charles Dickens: “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else." “This is not a new idea to Women‘s Institutes.“ Mrs. Trivers said, “but in this International Co-oPeration Year we might consider some new ways of lightening other peeple's burdens." The President spoke of the basic needs of everyone, the “Three A‘s“ â€" Affection, Acceptance, Achievement. “There is no more hitter pill to SWallow than the feeling that no one needs us," she said, and she referred to an older time when there were chores around the home for everyone to do, from the oldest to the youngest. Perhaps if we gave some thought to it we might find even in these present times. ways in which everyone in the family could contribute to the general good and be happier because of it. In the wider areas of social concern, Mrs. Trivers suggested that we must consider what we can do as organized women to lighten the burdens of Unemployment, of Illness, of Politâ€" ical Oppression. She said: “Today there is a 14 tendency to magnify the importance o: 1% nessâ€"the big car. the big supermark: m. big church; so we lose sight of the indit She added that this attitude is less ct. in rural than in urban communities 1 have to be on guard against it everywher Referring to the Women's Institute of a world wide organization, Mrs. spoke of the UNESCO project to Ii.
