Philemon Wright taking first raft down the Ottawa
River 1806, In 1800 he came to .the district
that is now Hull, Quebec and settled there.
Wright, who was born in Massachusetts, brought
with him 25 men, ample capital, livestock and
tools. The settlement became known as Wright's
Village or Wrightstown. By 1804 Wright had
set up a grist mill, sawmill, smithy, taller
shop, bakery and tannery. He took the first raft
of square timber from the Ottawa Valley to
Montreal. The journey took 35 days through the
unknown rapids and the raft's safe arrival at
Montreal signalled the inauguration of the Ottawa
Valley lumber trade. Later he had a steamboat
built for him, The Union of Ottawa; whl 31i became
the first steamboat on the Ottawa. Wright and
his associates were granted one (quarter of
the Township of Hull, and for his efforts in
cultivation hemp he was granted an additional
1200 acres. Hull grew into a strong community
in the space of a few years and Wright became
known as the Father of the Ottawa. (This
historical feature is one of a series readers

What do men have to say about
the status of women?
If a man asks this question per-
sonally of any group of males, the
answers will range from humorous to
obscene but they will be honest. When
the same question is asked by a woman,
the male answers will be flippant, flat-
tering and frightened, rarely reflecting
the truth
Now, members of the year-old
Royal Commission on the Status of
Women in Canada—five ,women and
one man—have pulled a sneaky trick
and invited written opinions. May their
mailbox be stuffed forever with
anonymous abuse from men.
(Male representation on the com-
mission must be ignored as token only.
„Professor 4„0,,ccipes, Henripin, p o oa r
,None man; should be, honored ,as' a
martyr. He is director' of ih'edepaiiment
of demography, University of Montreal.
Demography is the science of vital
statistics. Professor Henripin is a com-
mission statistic, all right, but about
as vital as Dagwood Bumstead.)
Repeated squawks from women's
'organizations forced appointment of
the Royal Commission on the Status of
Women in February of centennial year,
to "inquire into and report upon the
status of women in Canada and recom-
mend what steps might be taken by the
federal government to ensure for wo-
men equal opportunities with men in
all aspects of Canadian society."
There is no question of equality
for women at the Olympics to be held
in Grenoble, France, February 6 18.
Canada's female athletes are not ex-
pected to equal men. If they do, there's
something wrong. And the girls will be
given saliva tests to weed out sur-
reptitious takers of, manliness medi-
cines.
In a news letter from the Inter-
national Olympic Committee in Switzer-
land, editor Monique Berlioux tells how
female athletes have been made more
virile for better performances.
"The system adopted is relatively
simple. The woman's menstruation .1s
stopped by means of medical sub-
stances. In addition, injections of male

Do women really want equal op-
portunities with men? Such a goal sure-
ly is negative. To achieve it would be to
step downward. Their proclaimed de-
mand, perhaps, can be translated 'from
Womanese to mean consolidation and
expansion of great victories in the sex-
war which have already put an esti-
mated 80 per cent of the nation's pur-
chasing power under female control.
Canadian men everywhere should
be grateful for the Royal Commission

much as a tittle.
Meanwhile, the SOW commission
will keep the girls out of other mischief.
They can blather .all over the country,
spend thousands of tax dollars, pre-
pare reports running to millions of
words, and establish once_ again that
women are different from men.

something to say about the status of

hormones are given and these have the
two-fold effect of increasing physical
resistance and of fortifying the mus-
cular tones. From then on, certain
secondary masculine characteristics may
begin to appear—breaking of the voice
and the development of hair growth.
"However dangercius this may be
for the feminine organism and how-
ever reprehensible it may be from a
moral point of view, these treatments
in no way change the basic sexual char-
acteristics."
Jim Worrell, president of the
Canadian Olympic Association, says he
knows nothing about this.
'Don't worry, Jim. It will all come
out in the spit-box.

There are heartening signs
that a revolution, bloodless,
but sweeping, is taking place
in education.
There are indications that
the oppressed people have
passed the muttering stage,
have attacked the Bastille, will
free the prisoners and in the
process over-run the Swiss
Guards, defenders of the an-
cien regime. And all will be
wine and dancing in the
streets. And chaos.
But out of chaos eventually
emerges order. Look what God
made out of a heap of chaos.
And out of the chaos of the
French Revolution emerged a
completely new concept of
freedom and equality that had
a tremendous impact on the
world.
Perhaps the revolution in ed-
ucation, will produce a similar
freeing of the spirit of man,
allowing him to cope with the
great and relentless pressures
of this age and those to come,
Education in this century,
the century of the common
man, has been a failure on a
grand scale. It has failed en-
tirely to come to grips with a
society that has been turned
upside down and inside out by
two global wars, mass commu-
nication, a tremendous spurt
of technological advance and a
close, hard look at traditions.
Educators, with a few nota-
ble exceptions, have been tim-
id, shying , from anything that
might upset the system. The
public at large has ignored ed-
ucation, except to bleat about
the cost.
As a result, education, has
been a generation behind the
times. It has become a mono-
lith of repression, rigidity and
conformity. It has been an'ele-
pliant waltzing with a giraffe,

looking up information, actual-
ly talking to each other, which,
of course, is pure heresy.
It looks like anarchy, but it
isn't. The teacher is teaching,
not just telling, The kids are
learning, not being taught. No
longer are they little sponges,
each in his own compartment.
There is a flowing of ideas, a
joy in finding out for oneself.
Go into a high school. The
teacher is supposed to be read-
ing a poem, preferably written
at least 100 years ago. Then
he is supposed to elicit from
the students, with a series of
childish questions which bore
the bright ones and are ig-
nored by the dumb ones, the
meaning of the poem. Then
there i s supposed to be the
search for similes and meta-
phors. Then he is to put an
analysis of the poem on the
blackboard, the kids copy it
down, and everyone is happy.
They have "done" a poem.
They are being taught the joy
of poetry. They are being edu-
cated.
But what's this? They're not
even sitting in rows, but in a
circle. They're arguing about
the poem, which was written
three years ago, They relate it
to their own lives. The discus-
sion may run from hippies to
drugs to broken hearts to reli-
gion to joy to beauty. They
may still be fighting about it
when they leave the classroom.
