her fact of interest, Miss Sanders re- Wight. is that the Gallup Poll now" shows little difference in men‘s. and womens t(:Ipin- ions; they all think as citizens, The trou e is that there are too many women With no opinion." I The C.A.C. and Resolutions In a breezy and informative address on "The Canadian Association of Consumers and Its Interest in Resolutions”, the C.A.C. National President, Mrs. W. R. Walton, made these recommendations: Study your problem care- fully before you make a resolution because “you have no idea how many cockeyed reso- lutions come to C.A.C. from womens organ- izations". Never vote for a resolution unless you, as an individual, are prepared to back it up. Departments always look for the data supporting a resolution: be sure to supply it and to have it sound and convincmg. When vou send a resolution to the government, send it also to the opposition. This can be very effective. Special Guests Distinguished visitors at the conference were two missionary nuns from the Dominican Republic, British West Indies. Mother Mary Adele and Mother Mary Alicia, social welfare workers who have been studying the coâ€"opera- tive movement in Nova Scotia and educational and welfare work in Ontario. Mother Mary Alicia told the conference of their work with the women of Dominica and of how they had obtained literature from Miss Lewis and planned their Women's League after the pat- tern of the Women's Institutes Their object in organizing the Dominican women is to build a sound, happy family life and to improve moral conditions on their island. They are making the Women’s League a school, a service and a representative wo- men’s organization. They have monthly meetâ€" ings and study clubs on home management and moral problems, with classes in cooking, sew- ing and needlework taught by local leaders. They have organized a baby clinic and have bought a sewing machine to loan to women who need it. Their next project is to set up a library. (It was suggested by Mrs. Futcher that the Women's Institute might help to stock the library after consultation as to the sort of books needed.) The next project, Mother Mary Alicia said, is to establish a hustel for girls who come in from the country to work at domestic service. They already have a youth recreation centre. And since they have no government security or unemployment reâ€" lief, they are organizing credit unions and co-operatitie insurance, in which fields they learned a great deal from the ' ( co-o er movement in Nova Scotia. p atlve A.C.W.W.
