"When consumers grow in win. dom. in stability. in stature so in. evitably does the nation." Mrs. Vautelat. the National President of C. A. C. said that in one of the three brilliant addresses she gave on the one day she spent in our Province I couple of weeks ago. Her line of thought was on I broed national scale and that coupled with her delightful flow of language and her sparkling sense of humor made her an out- standing speaker and to say that she left us uplifted and thrilled is putting it mildly.

In all three addresses she ham- mered home the importance of our housekeeping dollar and how we women spend it. She explained what our unnecessary buying was doing to the economy of our coun- try and made it clear that we are forcing prices up against oursel- ves and that we consumers decide by our tastes in spending what it pays Canada most to produce.

a o o

For the last 50 years we have been making it more rewarding for men to produce things than food. The more money we spend on factory-madle comforts, the more men and materials must be used to produce these and the less men and materials remain to pro- duce food. This has given us our high standard of living. Then to- day we have grown used to many types of services that also use up manpower-years ago farmers sold direct to the householder-people cleaned their own clothes and be- lieve it or not women washed and curled their own hair. Our milk was not delivered in steril- ized bottles at our door. homogen- ized and pasteurized for us. We all enjoy these services and we like gadgets. but their price comes high.

- best chances of seeing ablllzed and going down would come if we voluntarily low- cred our standards of living. If we could just use intelligent self- control--ihe kind that can dis- tinguish between what one needs and what one wants!

Isn't it strange how we will fight for cheaper prices on neces- sities and yet be willing to pay any price for luxuries? We fume and fuss when the price of I loaf of plain bread goes up one Cent and yet when a fancy bread or cake jumps 5 or even 10 cents, we accept it without a word. No government can stop the sale of these unnecessary fancies in a free country. but we who are do- lng aorz. of the buying can and our share of the job is to cut un- wise spending.

We were delighted to sign up so many new members at Mrs. Vau- telet's meeting but we do need many more to strengthen the hands of these noble. statesmen- like women who are giving their time and talents to make this na- tional organization of Canadian women a success. Mrs. K. M Martin. Charlottetown. is pro- vincial treasurer and will he glad to receive your dollar member-

SURGICAL OPERATIONS ON THE ELDERLY

"Most physicians are aware of . the tremendous rise in the number of aged persons in our population. but few are aware of the magni- tude of that increase. since the first part of the 20th century the number of persons 85 years of age and older has quadrupled while the general population has only doub- led." I am quoting Dr. Sidney E. Zifferin, Iowa City. in the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tlon

For many years now physicians and surgeons have not been rec- ommending surgery to the aging although in many caseann oper- ation would not only add more years to their life but those few extra years would be lived happily and with more comfort.

A review is given of the patients 80 years old and over who were treated surgically at the Univer- sity Hospitals of the State Univer- sity of Iowa during the ten-year period from 1942 to 1951 inclusive. These patients were cared for on the general surgery service exclus- ively; auxiliary services such as urology (kidneys and bladder) and
