It has to stop. I'm voting for Jack Riddell to drive this home at Queens Park. Benson W. Tuckey, Exeter. Cancer Campaign ready I'm just back from the Ontario. Weekly Newspaper Association convention which was held in London (Ontario) this year, It was my first convention and certainly I Came away with a great, great longing to continue as a part of the trade. There's only one email thing which is bugging me about the whole event, It is the inborn prejudice in people which in- sists that men do all the truly big jobs in the world, I recall reading one time about a child who was injured in a car accident and needed surgery immediately. When the child was taken to the neurosurgeon, the doctor refused to operate on the grounds that the child was a relative, The doctor was not the child's father, his uncle, his brother, his cousin. The question was then asked - what relation was the neurosurgeon to the patient. A study of the puzzle showed that the persons who tried to find the answer were thoroughly baffled although it should have been totally ob- vious that the doctor was the patient's mother. But then, who would ever suppose that a woman could be entrusted with the touchy business of brain surgery? Much the same thing hap- pened to me at the OWNA Convention albeit in a much less dramatic way, To ihe -01k of - the people at the convention who did not know me, I was thought to be perhaps the wife of the editor but hardly the editor; the junior reporter maybe who was delegated to pick up any awards on behalf of the editor who would naturally be too urgently required at the desk to attend the convention; the lady friend of the virile editor who must have gotten bombed out his mind the previous evening and was unable to attend the session; or some interested female who just happened to worm her way into the conven- tion for the free ride. In other words, there was very little thought given to who I was, for, unless a woman gets up and makes an issue of things, she's just another body who really doesn't have much to do with the serious day-to- day routine of running a ' new spa ii6r The final blow came today, It was a letter addressed to my dear husband who accom- panied me to the convention. The poor guy who doesn't know a font from a outline, received a letter from the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. It was written by Fred T. Marshall, director of the public relations branch. Among other things, the let- ter extended to my husband "personal congratulations" for his "accomplishment". And Mr. Marshall's letter wasn't the only one of its kind . A form letter containing cer- tain vital information about Webster's Weekly Press Direc- tory, Orillia, was addressed to my lumberman husband. It will be truly interesting to keep score to see just how many more letters will arrive for my husband as a result of the newspaper convention, While I suppose one could assume the mistake is logical if you are a normal Canadian, I get a little weary of the inherited traditions which teach from birth that daddy is strong and mommy is weak; that daddy earns money and mommy squanders it; that daddy is at work and mammy is at home. I'm not interested in women's liberation in the sense that I want to forsake all my identity as a woman and become part of a kind of uni- sex society. That doesn't in- terest me at all. I just wish that more people could be like the wonderful guy I married. He seems to realize that his wife is a person with the same weaknesses and the same strengths; with the same needs and the same desires; with the same capacity to think and to make errors. My husband would probably prefer that I stay at home and make apple dumplings for sup- per, but he knows that things domestic don't hold my interest long enough to make it a fulltirneli endeavor. My husband lets me be me. He lets me live my own life, have my own career, make my own mistakes. My husband has no hang-ups about my "liberation" if you want to tag it that because he knows that when the work day is over, we're still man and wife in the same exciting sense .we ever were.

The looal chair- man for the campaign is Rev, Alvin Betikema and the co, chairman is Mrs, L. Bond. At this stage of the planning, they are encouraged by the ready response to help in the canvass. Young people, older persons and ministers have given their support to help, There are some details to work out, but they are confident that the campaign will go ahead as planned. If there are those who would like to help, they are kindly asked to contact either Rev, I3eukema if you live in the country or Mrs. Bond if you live in town.

Despite the poor weather, a good number of the members of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church visited the Home on Sunday evening to provide a song service in the auditorium, led by Mr. Van DerEnde. Volunteers from the Christian Reformed Church, along with Mr. and Mrs, Dale of Clinton, assisted with Mon- day's activities with music provided by Marie Flynn, Mary Taylor and Norman Spier. Two new residents were welcomed to the home during the program, as well as several guests who dropped in for the afternoon. The Goderich Township Women's Institute were hosts on Wednesday afternoon for the February birthday party, attended by well over 100 residents.

Mrs. Chapman won the musical travelling prize. The President, Mrs. Banter, presented each of the eighteen celebrants with a lovely box of a variety of fruit and treats. Miss Bertha Diehl thanked the ladies for the birthday gifts and expressed the appreciation of all of the residents for the en- joyable program and party. Af- ter the refreshments were ser- ved, the Institute members assisted the wheelchair residents back to their rooms. The Rythm Band from Goderich Psychiatric Hospital, under the direction of Gordon Harrison, provided the Family Night program. The twelve members in the band played as a group and entertained with vocal solos, duets, dance num- bers and instrumental solos on mouth organ, piano, violin and accordion. Earle Allin thanked the en- tertainers on behalf of the residents. Everyone appreciates having the musical programs and our four faithful volunteers back again for Family Night. A World Day of Prayer ser- vice was held in the chapel on Friday morning. Mrs. Sharpies of the Clinton Anglican Church was leader of the service, assisted by Miss Bertha Diehl and Mrs. Davis of Huronview, I know Jack Riddell and in my opinion he would be a good man to represent Huron at Queens Park. - A.
