AMMEMOMIN 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 because they have not desired to otherwise, Now, at long last we have ,E, 4 ,, THE. CLINTON NEWS-RECORD July 29, 1943 Mr. and Mrs. A.

Haysom, Hamilton, has been appointed Bell Telephone manager at Goderich, with jurisdiction over the office in Clinton. He proof of a sort. Even dumb rodents who shouldn't know a busty redhead from a curvy blonde refuse to die though the odds say they must. Eighty per cent enjoyed a woman's "treatment" so much that they lived in spite of a dose of poison. How much more then, will human men deliberately dawdle under milady's thumb. 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 than the virile forceful master he was intended to' be. He's quiet and (Mick, rather ordinary in appearance and hateful to women. What's more, he is easily manonevred into a trap and rarely escapes from it. The fellow who is the biggest and slickest with the longest list, of distasteful acts to his credit is branded a rat. lie makes a nuisance of himself by showing up in all the wrong places and Mrs. Russell Johnston, (formerly Belle Miller) from ' Mannville, Alberta, visited her brother J.

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.
