Recipe Box
Playtime really makes a "fella" or a little "gal" hungry, as you
mothers well know. There's always the universal cry "I m hungry,
what can I have to eat". When they include milk, snacks can count
nutritionally as well as keeping youngsters happy.
Milk is one of the best sources of high quality protein. It's also
an important source of calcium needed for bone and tooth
development. But don't preach nutrition to the kids, Mom. Milk
simply tastes good and quickly refreshes and that's all they care
about.

look for her gloves, fetch her
drink, warm her feet, and go out
to fight for her livelihood in the
harsh, cruel world makes her
very special and quite above the
sphere of the common male.
The feminists, insisting on
equal rights, are endangering the
rest of us by dragging all the
female world down to the level
of the poor old male.
Women's liberation groups
are mushrooming all over the
place but they all seem to have
different concepts of what this
liberation consists of and means.
Now (National Organization
for Women), formed by Betty
Friedan, the author of the
`Feminine Mystique', is not
nearly as militant as some of the
others. She even has men on her
board of directors — unheard of
in the other groups.
I glanced through Betty's
book again on the weekend and
I must admit that six years after
its publication it doesn't sound
nearly as radical as it once did.
For instance, 1 find no fault
with her argument that women
should be paid the same as men

The picture of a 'feminine'
woman used to be of one who
was softly alhning, lovely to
look at, charming and
seductively enticing. The scene
was complete with men hovering
round her paying homage and
vieing for any little crumb of
attention she deigned to toss
their way.
A lovely picture . but one
which is about to be
permanently defaced if the
militant feminists have their
way.
One of these people (she
could never be referred to as a
lady) when interviewed on T.V.
recently said, "No man would
dare open a door for me. If he
did, I'd belt him. "
She stated emphatically that
such an act was just a man's
nasty way of implying she
wasn't capable of opening the
door herself.
Poor, misguided creature . .
she's got the picture all wrong!
She hasn't grasped the simple,
basic fact that having men open
doors, tip their hats to her, rise
when she enters a room, carry
her parcels, help her into the car,
GIANT OATMEAL COOKIES
(Makes approx. 11/2 Dozen)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
118 teaspoon baking soda
112 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup soft butter
3/4 cup lightly-packed
brown sugar
1 e
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup quick-cooking
rolled oats
lira cups seedless raisins
Butter cookie sheets lightly.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift
together the flour, baking
powder, baking soda and salt.
Cream butter; gradually beat in
sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients to creamed
mixture, alternately with milk,
combining lightly after each
addition. Stir in rolled oats and
raisins. Drop_ by heaping
tablespoons, 5-inches apart onto
prepared cookie sheets. Press
for jobs and positions where
they do the same kind of work.
They should not be
disoriminated against because
they are women but given equal
opportunities for advancement
providing they can do the job as
well or better than anyone else.
I also agree that there are
many women who do need an
outside interest from their home
to have a feeling of fulfillment.
But I disagree heartily when
Frieden says that "All women"
need this outside interest.
Many women are content,
happy and fulfilled keeping their
houses and rearing their young.
They probably contribute more
to society than any other
group. Bearing and raising
children can be exciting, creative
work and it bums me up when
the women who choose this
vocation are downgraded by
numbers of their own sex.
I'm grateful to Emmeline
Pankhurst and other famous
suffragettes who battled to get
us the vote, and I'll go along
with B. Friedman's thinking to a
certain degree, but when such
radical movements as WITCH
(Women's International Terrorist
Conspiracy from Hell) clearly
emphasizes that the enemy is
`man' and spews out such hate,
bitterness and distrust, and
which has drawn its battle lines
for blood and revenge, I, too,
draw the line.
"Unrnilitant Females," we
must rise and rally round the
sacred flag of womanhood! We
have too much to lose to go
down without a struggle.
We cannot and must not give
up our privileges and our rightful
position, up on a pedestal, where
we receive the homage due us.
If the angry, militant group
takes over our place is lost
forever.
For who can blame the men,
if the women all start behaving
as badly as they do, for
discontinuing to look up to us.
How shall we fight?
I have a plan.
Those of us who raise
daughters must embed in them
the old truths and traditions of
womanhood . . - that they are
born to a station where they
should receive respect and
honor, but from where they are
to inspire and guide and love the
male.
The girls must be taught
something else too. They must
always act in a manner to
deserve this kind of special
treatment and they must show
their appreciation for the
courtesies bestowed on them.
Else it will be very difficult
for mothers rearing boys to
convince them of the rules of
showing deference to women.
No male is going to open a door,
offer his seat, or perform any of
the other social niceties to a
female who is beligerent,
unsmiling and unloving.
Come now, ladies, up and at
it. The job must be done.
The militants will fight with
anger, gain nothing and lose
much.
We will fight with a shower of
love, retain our rightful
positions, and hopefully enjoy
the best of two worlds ... being
accepted as equals in the
business and political world and
considered as 'special' in the
social and home sphere.
LET'S FAN UP CHARITY
BY REDUCING OUR
FANNIES.
Often we read about women
in other communities raising
money with bike-a-thons.
With spring coming up and
the need to lose some winter
blubber how about somebody
starting the ball rolling.
Bet we gals could make a pile
of money for a worthy cause
and start a healthful habit that
would keep us trim for the
summer.
I'll be the first to volunteer —
any joiners?
A branch of Youth Across
Canada with the Mentally
Retarded (Ontario division) has
been recently formed in Exeter.
The mentally retarded are
people who need help with
adjusting to "normal" standards
of behaviour and life set by
society.
This help is given partially by
schooling, but a great gap is still
left, which must be filled by
others. The mentally retarded
must be given a chance, a chance
to meet other people their own
age, a chance to participate in
recreational activities and a
chance to learn to love by
experiencing our every-day
activities.
Y.A.C.M.R. was created for
this reason, because it was felt
that young people — high
school, college and university
students — have the time, the
energy, the enthusiasm and the
resources to partially fulfill this
need.
The Exeter local of this
developing nation-wide
organization is just in its stages
of birth. The main work soon
will be with the retarded in
different programs, to help them
participate m sports, music,
crafts, parties and outings with
other people their own age.
Club members will, find that
this program may involve some
personal sacrifice, but the results
are worthwhile and rewarding,
both to oneself and others. The
group will also attend evening
socials for the retarded and club
trips are often made to
institutions and neighboring
YACMR activities.
Many students complain that
