Margaret Langton comments on her club's exhibit of bedspread and dresser scarf. â€"O.A.C. Photo A poem “You Tell On Yourself” quoted in this session was asked for by a number of the girls so it is published by itself in another part of this issue. Also speaking on the conference theme, Miss Helen McKercher, Director of Home Econom- ics Extension Service, reminded the girls that one of the basic objectives in education is to help individuals to become more effective members of homes and families. “Your exâ€" perience in the family is first, the closest and the longest-lasting of all human exâ€" periences,” Miss McKercher said, “but we have to learn the meaning and have an awareness of the treasures to be gained from warm, af- fectionate relationships within the family. What are we like as a member of the family? Do we give and receive the affection, respect and encouragement necessary for the develop- ment of every one . . . People are happiest when they are giving and being generous and thoughtful of others.” Miss McKercher spoke of the need of the wise counsel and mature advice of others to help us work out our aspirations and our problems. Young people in club work need their parents‘ interest, their leader’s interest and their Home Economist's interest in their welfare, she said. “Sure, they worry about you but you wouldn’t like it if they didn’t." Then along with her family and her club experience, every girl wants an interesting, challenging career that gives her an oppor- tunity to use the best of her abilities and to make a significant contribution to society. "In Home Economics,” said Miss McKercher, “there is a career for practically every type of girl" and she listed commercial dietetics or food service, advertising, radio, television, journalism, food photography, fashiOn, interior decorating, work in large hotels and stores. Doors are open for the artistic, the business- like, the science-minded, the teacher, the writer, the one with the inquiring mind, Prom- ising home economists make swift headway FALL 'I 951 toTTONC Aclcssso‘ms Irma: .

Worthwhile home economics jobs are not cinches but the work is of the happiest and most satisfying kind, full of stimulating emergencies that take all your resources and so you grow yourself. Finally Home Econâ€" omics education offers a double valuemprep- aration for an interesting career and also for the finest position a woman can have, that of a wife and mother. WIDER HORIZONS Speaking on “Wider Horizons for Canadian Youth,” Mrs. J. E. Houck said that young people of today are living in a time of such rapid change that they must be adjustable in their thinking. In these days of such easy communication we have to learn to live with people in other parts of the world. We hear complaints that people coming to Canada from Europe live "huddled together,” that their food is poor. These people have been used to being crowded together in Europe; they haven’t had the abundance of food we have in Canada. Sometimes we criticize their clothes and their hairdos; if we give them time in a few years they will be as well turned out as anyone. Mrs. Houck told of the fine and likable people of different races that she had met as a delegate to United Nations. She described the hardships of some of the peoples of the Eastâ€" lack of food, in some countries lack of water, living in huts, no communication. In some countries most of the people can neither read nor write but they have some hope now through UNESCO. Through United Nations Mrs. Houck said she had also come to underâ€" stand and appreciate people of other religions and she was sometimes ashamed of the intol- erance among Catholics, Protestants and Jews in her own country. Mrs. Houck explained that one way UN had been successful was in its humamtanan 13
