A story from Canadian Press
gives some indication of the
power a woman holds in her
hands....and why some men are
labelled mice and others are
branded rats.
Seems that some of the
four-footed rodents used for
laboratory testing at ' Queen's
University are showing strange
traits. When they are handled by
male technicians they are
extremely anti-social but when a
certain female technician
appears on the scene, the rats are
like putty in her hands.
Dr. Eldon Boyd, a professor
of pharmacology at Queen's said
that only 20 per cent of the rats
who were given doses of a
poisonous drug by the lady
doctor had died. The same dose
given by anyone else would have
caused about 80 per cent to die,
Dr. Boyd estimated,
Several conclusions are
obvious.
First of all, women have the
controling influence in most
caSes. Down through the
centuries it has been increasingly
apparent that women sway the
destiny or the world. Men are
mere puppets who dance
Willingly on the end of a string

While there is no distinction
made in the report between rats
and mice, it is common belief
that mice are smaller and less
bothersome than rats. Generally,
that's the main difference
between men, too. Hence the
reference' to their remarkable
resemblance to either of the
rodent families.
The 'man who jumps at the
whim of a woman is labelled a
mouse. To other men he's less

proves a hog of himself with
another man's goods. Ile ruins
most everything he touches. He's
crafty too, but no' good comes
from his ability to outwit others.
It is interesting to note,
however, that there is no
difference in how rates and mice
react under the spell of a
woman The logical conclusion
therefore, is that either rats or
mice can be dominated by a
female and that no woman can
be blamed for the state of the
rodent - mouse or rat. That
comes naturally.
And how was the poison fed
to these rodents? I think it is
significant that a stomach tube'
was put into their mouths and
the liquid poured through the
slender hose. The lady
technician did not beguile them
with a disguised goodie. Nor did
she use trickery some males
would expect. Openly and
without design she brought her
gadgets to the cage, inserted the
tubes and dumped the pOison.
The rodents loved it, In fact
the report stated "that anybody
they (the rodents) like can give a
larger ddes of a drug to them
before they sticcuilib to it, than
Others can".
Man of rodent? It is hard to
tell.
MAINTENANCE of public order is a
proper and necessary function of law
enforcement agencies. And When the
well-being of the public is threatened, the
law must respond - however distasteful
such recourse might be to civilized men.
The maintenance of public order, to us,
does not mean the suppression of
controversial ideas or the rounding up of
people who dress differently ,or the arrest
of persons whose private behaviour is of
no public concern. Nor should its greatest
concern be, as it has too often been, the
protectjon of personal property. What is
most important, rather, is the physical
safety of human beings.
We had such a case in Montreal
during the St. Jean Baptiste Day
disorders. Fortunately, Montreal, unlike
meny other cities on this continent, has
been spared too many incidents of this
kind. Yet the police felt compelled to act,
and it is the manner of their response that
raises serious questions about the best
way to treat a threatening situation -
whether it is premeditated disorder or a
spontaneous, emotional reaction by a large
gathering. In Montreal the answer came in
the form of nightsticks, or police billies.
In London, Ontario, police used Mace to
quell a diSturbance. And now Arthur
Wishart, Ontario's attorney general, has
threatened legislation to outlaw this
paralyzing gas because he is not satisfied it
is safe for use on humans.
Mace 'is a tear-gas-type chemical that
temporarily, incapacitates its victims- and
causes a burhing sensation if it comes in
contact ,with the eyes. According to its
. manufacturer it leaves., -tic): permanent
injury,- However, ,nobOdy; yet*noyvs. whet
its' long-term 'effects' Might"be 'or, as was •
the case with some defendants in Ontario,
whether it can be harmful if affected eyes
are not 'immediately rinsed with water.
More important, its acquisition by police
forces, notably in the United States, has
made it a negative symbol of law
endorcement power. It gives police a
weapon against which people, including
innocent bystanders, are helpless. And it
works.
Mace can be abused - as it probably
was when used recently to subdue a
drunk. We would not endorse its general
use except in the most dangerous
situations when persuasion and other
non-violent means have failed to check
mass disorder that threatens the safety
and lives of people. But we wonder
whether its outlawing might not lead to a
return of far more physically harmful and
provocative weapons - nightsticks, guns,
even cattle prods or snarling dogs - which
virtually invite retaliation.
To suggest, as some have, that police
should not have Mace because criminals
will eventually be able to obtain and
utilize it, or because its use will lead to an
escalation of weapons resulting ultimately
in a chemical that kills, is a neat 'piece of
unacceptable reasoning.
Mr. Wishart is properly concerned
about the indiscriminate use of this
debilitating weapon; but we could hardly
agree with his statement: "I personally
would rather be struck with a billy than
sprayed with Mace." Like the Ontario
attorney general, we, too, often wish
there were greater respect for law. But we
also wish there were greater respect
exercised by those sanctioned to carry out
the law.
