“We're too excited to go to sleep,” she said.

Mr. Maddocks gave a brief resume of the beginning of all the generous help the associa- tion had received and how the Royal Canadian Legion and Ladies’ Auxilliary rented their hall for many years to the Senior Citizens Association to hold their meeting twice a month at‘a very nominal rent.

“With the assistance of the now city council”. he said, “there is a very strong Senior Citizens branch in Castlegar and a most active one.” He extended congratulations to the male members of the associa- tion for all.their work in the

Mature Women are Advised : To Cultivate Existing Skills

Speaking on the theme “Evaluating Your Potential” at a recent seminar sponsored by Selkirk College and the West. Kootenay Status of Women Council, Dr. Cathy Davison advised the women present that their chances for success in returning to the labor force would be. “enormously en- hanced if you make a consistent, effort to cultivate existing skills, develop new ones, upgrade your education, and keep in touch with the adult

world of books, current affairs:

“Faulty, English: is. the employers’ number ‘one. com- plaint’ about mature women relurning to work,” according lo Dr. Davison, “and the woman who does not correctly use ‘the spoken word will find

herself chronically unemployed, -

despite. the other ‘skills she might; possess.” She “further noted ‘that. women must read material other than horoscopes,

recipes and gossip columns if. -

they aspired to “interesting jobs. g

While she did not suggest that all women must aim for a career when their children become independent, she point-’ ed out that “a small yearly investment in maintaining. or adding to one's training over a five or ten-year period may make a significant difference both in readiness to return to work or study and in the income one can earn. Without it, a woman may find that!'a change or return is too difficult fe try.”

Dr. Davison recommended that. women begin to co- ordinate their career plans by checking the educational re- quirements for a given career,

the availability of training

facilities; and the eligibilily of mature’ women for the job under consideration. She noted that jobs and training programs which do not require at least high school graduation are becoming. increasingly rare, and that opportunities for upgrading in this area are

Davison re-emphasized the fact that women must. not’ allow their minds to atrophy through disuse during the: child-raising years. “From. an employer's point of view, hiring a mature woman is fraught with real or imaginary hazards. She may be
