THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS. May 29. 1968 7 More Funds For MS Research At the meeting of the Multiple Sclerosis Society May 23 in Chilliwack Health Centre, Bill Epp and James Hall gave a of the British Columbia directors' meeting in Victoria which they attended on May 22. The main function of the Victoria meeting was to acquaint British Columbia members with the planned move to integrate all provincial multiple sclerosis societies under the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. In this way, more of the funds collected will be able to be diverted towards research on the cause and care of multiple sclerosis, and more of the findings of such research will be able to be published and dispensed to the patients throughout Canada.

Whole Giebini Few Heads Teachers' Council Don Few of Chilliwack was elected president at the an-' nual general meeting of Fra-ser Valley East District Council, an organization representing teachers in Abbots-ford, Agassiz, Chilliwack, Fraser Canyon and Mission. Other officers elected were: Brian Appleby (Mission), vice-president; Harvey Penner (Chilliwack), in-service coordinator; George Stewart (Agassiz), public relations coordinator, and George Clements (Abbotsford), geographic representative. Bruce Watson of the B.C Teachers' Federation addressed members of the implications of the provincial government's new finance formula for education. He stated that the new formula failed to set a limit on the tax levy, it did not state the amount to be received by local boards, budgeting for long-term planning was difficult, teacher mobility would be restricted, and no provision for special services was included. The meeting, at which both outgoing and new members of the council were present, was held at the Empress Sugar And Spice (Continued from Page 1 6) into the world as a woman, something she hasn't had time to think about for 20 years.

And it's all so unnecessary. Why should an intelligent woman, who has something to contribute to society, be shackled to a house and family for two decades, doing work she hates, when it could be done as well or better by someone who enjoys it? There are thousands of young women in this country who have no pretensions, or even interest, in intellectual or business careers. Yet they have all the things thousands of housewives and mothers don't: placid temperaments; a pleasure in simple tasks, well done; a good way with children; warm hands and kind hearts. Why aren't they looking after homes and children, while women who have an urge to create and compete and do things are released to have a whack at them? Social Stigma It's because "domestic help" has a certain social stigma attached to it It needn't have. We don't need or want "slaveys" any more.

But we do need young women who could be trained as housekeepers, placed in jobs, and given decent wages. They could be trained as rigidly as nurses, but wouldn't need the educational standards, nor the length of time to qualify. White smocks and shoes, a professional organization, good training and wages, and many a girl who is sweating in a factory would leap at the job. And there'd be no shortage of jobs. Objections? The kids would miss mother love, you say.

Baloney. More kids are ruined by neurotic, frustrated mothers than ever would be by a kind, judicious girl who came in every day. The family closeness would be broken? Nonsense. Families are so close now that they're smothering each other. Finally, the payment of such a new vocation should be tax deductible for women who want to, or have to work.

If I were ten years younger, I'd organize a training school and placement service, call them "The Girls in White" and make a fortune. Water No. 1 Quality. Sweet and Juicy.

Second Oyster Was A Winner The law of averages must have been looking tho other way when former Chilliwack resident George Mitchell ate an oyster last week at the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Arnold Becker, Windsor Street. In the second oyster he opened and the second he had ever eaten in his life Mr. Mitchell found a pearl. "It was only small," commented Mr.

Becker, it was quite a coincidence just the same." Mr. Mitchell, now resident in Pemberton, is the brother-in-law of Mr. Becker. He and his wife were visiting the Beckers. The oysters were picked at Sidney, Vancouver Island, about a month ago.
