L. Stephenson was elect- ed fixesident of the York North Women’s Liberal Association. MrsL~Charles Webster of Aurora presided at the election of offic- ers tho are: It_is not discourteous to call this Indian lady by her given name of "Gowri", since it is the only name she has officially, in India. Named at birth with just one name, that is the one name each person retains for themsel- ves alone through life â€"â€" there is no such appendage .as a sur- name. Should a son be born and given his grandfather’s name, his “given” name would be prefixed by a letter such as N. or S. Male babies are often named for the village they are born in, but nev- er for their fathers, since the be- lief is that after death the soul passes into another body â€" and too much confusion could result from a mix-up of names. They do not believe in “family trees" in India â€"â€" but everyone there is nevertheless very cons- cious ‘of family connections and keeps up family relationships al- most as a fetish, visiting close relatives sometimes daily. Gowri, who is 25 years old, was born in Madras State in the south of India. She was educated in her native town of Cionbatore at a Catholic convent -â€" although she follows the. ancient religion of her part of India â€" later she at- tended a Co-Educational College before her marriage to Sabbarao. Both she and her husband, being raised in the same village, have the same likes and dislikes in food, recognize the same set of morals and enjoy the same relig- ion -â€" a basis for an ideal mar- riage which is cultivated early in the life of each child, for the ul- timate harmony in married life. C- L. Stephenson President York; North Liberal Women Subbarao obtained his univer- sity degree in Bangalore and his P11. D. afterwards in Madras. They are visiting Canada because Subbarao is doing post-graduate work for the Canadian Depart- ment of Agriculture. Forest Path- ology Laboratory, Maple, for at least onevyear. “I like", Canada very much". Gowri told us ‘in her soft. 10w THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, January ; voice, then with her attractive shy smile she added, Iexcept for the extreme cold." In India the coolest season of the year (fol- lowing the Monsoons), brings temperatures down to 65 degrees (above!) the rest of the year the tmperature never exceeds 80 degrees. Madam Subbarao, her title in Canada, is a trifle homesick at times for her native environment since this is her first trip outside India. We asked her to describe her Indian home, which is a two- storey house set in a garden com- pound of trees, shrubs and flow- ers, with a high wall surrounding the large grounds. “Small houses and apartments are seldom seen in such places as Madras”, she told us. ‘Bombay has large build- ings, some six or eight storeys high, it also has some apartment houses â€" but there are no super- markets such as those in Cana- da.” Speaking of shopping and meal- pianning we learned that Madam Subbarao finds It impossible to purchase seasonings here, such as they grow in India. Most of the spices and flavorings she uses in preparing meals came with her from India. Among them is Tam- arind, a fruit which has been dried. “When we wish to' use Tamarind, we soak it and extract the juice, which we then use for flavoring lentels and vegetables." Annual reports were read fol- lowed by an interesting panel discussion on “Your Voice Can Be Heard” â€" how women can play a part in federal, provincial or mu- nicipal affairs. A good repre- sentation of this association is planning to attend the conven- tion of the National Federation of Liberal Women of Canada to be held in‘ Winnipeg in April. The Oriole Lodge herd of pure- bred Holsteins established over 50 years ago by the late Hon. G. S. Henry and carried on in re- recent years by his son George, was sold at Oakville on January 26th. The '74 head brought $34,- 630., for an average of $467.97. The main meal of the day con- sists of lentels, vegetables and Spices, cooked together slowly for hours until they have reached the consistency of a thick, rich soup. Fruit, raisins or nuts complete the meal, since Gowri and her husband are vegetarians â€" as are the other natives of their village. Mrs. Stephenson is also a mem- ber of the Tuesday Club and a member of the executive of the Toronto Women’s Liberal Assoc- iation.

Many of the vegetables we use so frequently in our Canadian meal planning_ are also found in the shopping markets of India: cauliflower, cabbage and carrots and all types of beans. Tropical yarns and Bringal (which is sim- ilar to our egg plant) are typical Indian vegetables much in use. Bringal is fried with currie pow- der; chiles and mustard are also combined in many daily dishes in India. Madam Subbarao told us she thinks the mango is the most de- licious of all fruits. Sweeter and juicier than a pear, soft and pul- py in texture, it is eaten even more frequently than oranges from the cooler northern parts of India, or home-grown bananas -â€" which are a cent a piece on the market. Apples, while obtainable as imports, are like our import- ed bananas, and cost nine or ten cents each. Bread is not the staple diet of south India â€" as it is in most of Canada â€"â€" Gowri said they buy bread once in 15 days in the south. In the north of India where they raise their own wheat they have bread and cake more often on the table. Breakfast in Canada may con- sist of cereal and bread and fruit, but in Gowri’s village, Dosai or Iddli served with cocoanut chut- ney begins the first meal of the day at about 6 am. Dosai is composed of a lentel type bean called black gram, which is pounded to a powder and mixed with rice; it is then flattened into large thin cakes, like pancakes, and baked. Iddli is much the same mix formed in- to balls and tossed into boiling water until cooked. “We use a lot of cocoanut in India”, Gowrl said, “the cocoanut chutney is made fresh every day.” In India. Gowri does not do her own housework or cooking. they have many servants to take over these chores, leaving the In- dian homemaker free to visit; read or visit the public library; play tennis or a card game nam- ed Carom â€" or attend lectures at the Women’s Club. The day closes at about 9:30 in the evening when most of the village retires for the night; even when parties are held Gowri says 11 or 11:30 pm. is considered a late hour for most residents, though natives who have taken to western ways do not conform to this pattern. We hope Madam Subbarao and her husband continue to enjoy their stay in Canada and we are pleased to have such distinguish- ed visitors in our midst, HERD SOLD Commissioners and representa- tives to various boards, and stand- ing committees for the year 1959 were elected and appointed at last week‘s session of York County Council held at Newmarket. ‘ Those elected were: Commis- sioners, Reeve Howard Anderson, Georgina Township and Reeve Joseph Fry, Markham Village; commissioners for York Manor: Reeve Fred Armstrong, Wood- bridge; Reeve Clarence Davis, Aurora, and Reeve Walter Rate, East Gwillimbury; representative to York County Hospital: Reeve John Luck, Newmarket.

I think too that many conscien- tious supporters of public ownerâ€" ship were amazed at the North York member's suggestion that our Canadian National Railways should be run privately and that T.C.A. should be handed over to private interests. Candidates should state their policy in regard to finding needed work for our people and public ownership before not after an election, and we would know bet- ter how to vote. York County Council Appoints Standing Committees For 1959 Savage Insun To New Offices Dear Mr. Editor.â€" t I was surprised to read the remarks of the Member for North York when he questioned the wis- dom of spending money to create jobs because it might debase the almighty dollar. This sure sounds different to the rosy promises of Mr. Diefenbaker and his candi- dates before the election. Savage Insurance Services, owned and operated by Pete Sa- vage, a 'native son of Richmond Hill, is moving from 55A‘Yonge Street South, to larger premises in the anrie Building, 15 Yonge St. North, on or about the first of February, in order ‘to obtain larger-office accommodation for this expanding business and to provide better services for Mr. Savage’sfl clients. Pete Savage-is the third gen- eration of the Savage family in the insurance business in Rich- mond Hill. His grandfather, Peter G. Savage came to Rich- mond Hill as a boy and after com- pleting his education opened a general store where buildings 8 and 10 Yonge North are now sit- uated. This first establishment comprised a general store, post ofi'ice and general insurance bus- iness, which the late Mr. Savage ran until his son Armand G. Savage took it over. Mr. Armand Savage continued as postmaster for the village for 33 years, along with managing the growing in- surance agency which his son, Pete, bought out in 1952. Pete Savage, was born in Rich- mond Hill, son of Armand Sav- age and the former Susan Trench and attended school at the Richâ€" mond Hill Public and High Schools. later working at the Tor- onto General Trust Corporation for 20 years. A member of Richmond Hill United Church, the Rotary Club, and the Masonic Lodge, he is an executive member of the local track and field association. His wife is the former Muriel Hall of Toronto and they'have two daughters, Suzanne and Peggy.

In a recent referendum by an overwhelming majority Switzer- land voted against adopting a 44- hour week to replace the 48 hour week which has been standard in that country since 1919. The Swiss people want a short- er working week just as much as people anywhere, but they voted against the change because they knew Swiss industry could not increase production fast enough to compensate for the increased labor costs. They realized that this would mean inflation and highte living costs: .. “5°. Police Committee â€" John Per- ry, N. Garrioch, S. Walker, J. Luck, S. Tinker, R. Pollock, C. Wallwork, P. Mingay.

NOTICE Swiss Smart People A Fair Question DOG OWNER OBSERVER Gord-on Hill, president of the Ontario Farmers’ Union, says the Federal Government has failed to take action to ease Ontario’s ra- bies problem. He said this week the govern- ment is "apparently so preoc- cupied with internal politics, it is unable to give consideration to the farmers of Ontario who are bearing the brunt of the current rabies epidemic.” He said his group will continue to press the Federal Government for compensation to farmers un- der the Contagious Animal Dis- ease Act, a vaccination program to keep losses at a minimum and treatment for humans exposed to the disease. - Mr. Hill said a vaccination pro- gram must begin immediately to cover “thousands of farm anim- als” before they are turned out to pasture in the spying. _ “Indications are-that? the epi- demic will be more severe this summer." 1 ' President 0.
