subjects homemakers have to pass _u Funds, Food and Families
like it. Peggy Vann, nutritionist for the Manitoba Department of Health, will deal with these problems. FAMILIES lext comes the Family-and here the point we' re stressing is the importance of the right start. Doctors tell us that better pre-natal care is a crying need on the Prairies, that only about one-quarter of mothers-to-be in these three prov inces get adequate medical care before their b a b i e s are born. So there'll be I three talks on care of Mother before the baby comes and two to help mother look after him when he comes. FOOD Finally, there' II be a session for the Two difficult food Family's young adults,. a Personality Clinic by air. But that's not to say that homemakers shouldn't listen. After all, teen-agers need the help of all the family in solving their problems. Speakers will be Aileen Garland, whose cheerful philosophy has helped many an awkward schoolgirl; Molly McClure, buyer in a large Winnipeg retail store; ) 0 Lou Ritchie, newspaper girl, and Irene Craig, radio actress.
