Peace River area press for two home economists
Two economists are urged for the Peace River area as the Dawson Creek Chamber of Commerce and the Peace River Women's Institutes back a request. They plan to present the brief to Minister Don Phillips and Speaker Ed Smith later this month. In the late 1940s Eileen Cross of Vancouver served briefly, with service ending in the early 1950s, and no home economist has served since despite years of requests by the Women's Institutes and the District Board.
