CONSUMER COMMITTEE MARKET DEVELOPMENT BRANCH Mrs. Donna Holmes. member of the Committee reported the 16 member group, primarily draw con- sumer concerns to the attention of government and industry. Through the committee work, they learned about Foodland, its purpose and the role it plays in the marketplace. One of the main questions and concerns of the com‘ mittee is “analogs”. The two questions generating for discussions were (1) should analogs be permitted as replacements in all food products in the near future? (2) If analogs are permitted should they be defined and regulated to prevent consumer deception? After discussion at the Board meeting it became apparent that it is inevitable that analogs will be per- mitted as replacements for all food products in the near future. The Board believes it is essential that they be defined and regulated to prevent consumer deception. Consumers should be provided with factual, unbiased information, easily understood by lay persons, in order that they are better able to make wise nutrition decisions and maximize their food dollars. The Board sees the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food playing an important role in the dissemination of such badly AC It has been suggested that each Constituent Society will plan a pre conference tour of the ACWW flag, in order to publicize ACWW and raise eight million pen- nies for Pennies for Friendship. FWIO Board accepted a recommendation that there are to be no further donations to ACWW from the International Scholarship Fund until the scholarship meeting at the Annual Board Meeting. Mrs. Diamond will investigate and bring back further details from the Council in July. Immediately after the semiâ€"annual meeting a letter was received from the secretary of ACWW projects committee stating that the donation of $2000.00 for the supplementary child care project in India is already at work.

Ahmed wrote that she hopes to have photographs and a progress report for FWIO later. 16th TRIENNIAL CONFERENCE May 11â€"23, 1980 The ACWW SOIh Anniversary Jubilee Conference Congress Centrurn, Hamburg, Republic of Germany Themeâ€"Forward Together Registration 30 Deutsche Marks Hostess Fee 150 Deutsche Marks Those contributing or life members interested in attending must write to the ACWW office.
