“JIM COCKS (Waterfront) :
GERTRUDE CHERNOFF (Campbell R)

It’s just not true, say these

pictures (and several Can-
adians who have been there
recently) that’ Chinese women
“are a vanishing race... de-
feminized, degraded, de-sex-
ed.” That’s what Richard
Hughes reported in the Tor-
onto Star. He asserted: “Ideal
woman in China today...
looks most like a man, dresses
like a man, works like a man.”

Tom McEwen, editor of the
Pacific Tribune, who visited
China last fall, this week dis-
missed Hughes’ claim as ab-
surd. :

“Chinese women working in
industry wear whatever clothes
are best suited to the job,” he
said. “Most of the young peo-
ple and a lot of the older
people, both men and women,
wear cotton slacks on the

street — what is known as
Sun Yat-sen blue, which has
long been a traditional garb.

“But the Chinese women
dress up. Whether they wear
Western or Chinese dress,
there’s no question about their
femininity. Some of our West-
ern fashion experts could learn
from them.”

These recent pictures from
China show latest fashions for
working women. At TOP, the
peasant costume. BELOW, for
the office and shop. We think
they’re ‘quite nicely feminine.
These pictures were selected
from scores we receive from
China which illustrate more
graphically than words the
new dignity that has been won
by the women of China since
that fateful October 1949 when
the People’s government was
formed.
