There are children's mom! of many kinds. Today we have made gi definitg distinction between

"drenis rooms. nurseries and his ies' rooms. Many people still ding to the "cute" school of ihmght. and while the child is an Infant. this doesnlt really matter. As the child begins to grow and think for himself. his choice will develop as an individual.

One doesn't try to create a cute. pr:",' room. though they are nice. The basic thing in planning a child's room where they grow up in. is planning a definite place where they can have the things they love and the things they need for living. A room such as this will reflect the child's growth. his taste. his interests and his memor- ies of happy times.

Food Czar Predicts Future Outlook For Big Supermarkets

BY HAROLD MORRISON V ”' Preu 8tIl'l.WrIteI'

..MONTBEAL (CP)-The house- wife of the.future may do her sup- ermarket shopping on a moving platform, picking out food that has been bombarded with atomic rays to retain freshness for months without refrigeration.

Instead of worrying about home cooking, she may select entire meals all precoolted and done up in one package. ready to eat.

And perhaps that biggest frustra- tion of all. lining up at the check- out counte . will be eliminated by electronic gadgets that will make the cashier a figure of ancient hia-

ry.

4All this means another revolu- tion in the food industry. And that's just, what Sam Steinberg. Mont- real s food czar, believes will take place.

"The food industry its due for an- other era of radical changes of which the two most significant may lie in the fields of automation and food preservation." the pep- DEPY President of the Steidberg Supermarkets told the Gordon so onomlc commission.

"1 can visualize the day when moving platforms will take the housewife by the food display with- out her walking or pushing carts.

SEES EASY SELECTION

Standardization of brands in

' d perlshables may make possible the future development of automatic selection by mean; of vending type machines which may completely change present day mediods of display.

"Eventually we hope to mechan- ize self-service and aelf-distrubu- tion.”

What all this will do to retail food prices Mr. Steinberg did not say. The commission asked whether he believed prices will tie- cline an store efficiency is in- creased. Mr. Steinberg said a lot will depend on weather and other conditions. A freeze-up in Califor- nia fruit groves could cause un- predictable price changes.

But Steinberg's, with supermark- ets scattered through ut Quebec and in Ottawa. was loo ing to the future with confidence. It planned to spend 330000.000 in the next three years in ca " ' expansion.

lnlo Courtship

Says Executive

MONTREAL (CF) --Democracy has moved into courtship, with women sharing the job of wooing and winning.

So says Mrs. Dorothy Barrier, executive secretary of the mar- riage counselllng centre of the Men- tal Hygiene Institute.

"Democracy." she said in an interview Wednesday. "has crept into courtship. And as we accept this theory, we're more apt to think of marriage in terms of a partnership. Women are going to have to accept more responsibility in the selection of a mate . . . and. eventually, the idea of a woman proposing may be acceptable to society."

The marriage counscli admits that this role for women would take some of the romance from courtships.

"But the incurable romantic- thewoman who couldn't dream of doing the proposingewill sit and wait for the knight on the white charger."

REALISTIC ATTITUDE

Mara. Barrier believes a more realistic attitude. adopted from the heginning of the courtship, would make it easier for the two parties to adjust themselves after mar- rlage.

"It's only logical that as women achieve more equality with men they will have more to say when it comes to the question of choos- ing a mate for the rest of their lives. And. I guess, that may entail the actual proposing of marriage." Mrs. Barrier also said that women's increased freedom has produced a greater number of divorces.

By 01.! DAUM Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO ICP) - Business-girl

housekeepers may have their office routine and " me-cleaning chores organized to a science but some find cooking meals on a two-burner grill an experience they'd rather forgo.

"It means too many fried foods." ”rccipes aren't made for me but usually for more than four per- sons." "when ready. part of the meal is piping hot and another part is cold," hotplate cooks com- plain.

Food nutritionist Corinne Trerlcc says meals can be as tempting. varied and easily-prepared on n hotplate as on a large electric

stove. . MATTER OF PLANNING

”It's amazing what a little plan- ning wlll do." she said.

Grey-eyed Miss Trerlcc. who her- self has cooked on many hotplatea during her 15-year career. sug gesta the business girl should do a week's shopping in one trip. "It's best to make a shopping list to check for variety and econ- omy," Miss Trerice said.

Each meal should be planned around the meat dish and should sometimes include more than can be consumed in one meal so an- other cnn be made from left-overs. Although many turn their noses up at left-overs they nan be made to be delicious and they're espec- ially helpful to a tight budget, Mlsa Trerice said.
