Requesting F.W.I.C. to ask the Department of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs to legislate that all mer- chandise sold have a price clearly marked on all items: This resolution was sent to the Hon. Andre Ouel- lei, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs whose Executive Assistant replied. His reply was to the effect that there would be no action presently possible to prevent the studies being made by the supermarkets and he made no promise of our wishes being consid- ered for legislation. CAC is urging individual pricing of items, too. This resolution was presented to the Board of F.W.I.C. in June and sustained there. We will have to keep alert to the progress of the Universal Product Coding and as consumers keep demanding unit prices if we wish them.

CITIZENSHIP AND WORLD AFFAIRS Mrs. L. E. Drayton It is my pleasure to submit my first report as Proâ€" vincial Convener of Citizenship and World Affairs. All Area reports were interesting and well done. Many aspects of citizenship and world aflairs were covered. Each Area reported some activity from a Branch in connection with International Woman’s Year. I feel more emphasis should be put on world afâ€" fairs and more interest shown in the work of the United Nations. Travel and communication have served to make the world a much smaller place and by studying and lean-ting about other parts of the world. we can better understand immigrants from these countries. Roll calls: Name one way progress is changing our lives. How can we as present and future grandmothers be useful; share our wisdom and gain respect into toâ€" day’s family? 13
