The topic of discussion was "The Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Difficulties". Mrs. Barbara Kerr opened the meeting with a welcome to the mothers and their babies. Mrs. Sandra Billson ex- plained how the lending library worked. The library is presently being borrowed from the Hensall LLL and includes books, pt~mphlets, magazines, and tapes. The Belgrave group hopes to build their own library through memberships, donations, and sale of books, calendars, and baby carriers. Discussion began with each woman completing the statement "Hospital is...". Many interesting reactions were given, and it was found that the mother who is in- formed and confident about breastfeeding had a most satisfactory stay in the hospital with her baby, Recommendations by the Canadian Paediatric Society were reviewed. These in- cluded drug-free delivery, nursing from birth, and rooming-in, which were suggested as hospital routines which would in- crease breastfeeding. The work of La Leche League was supported, as mother to mother help in Overcoming any difficulties .

As long as you, an- swered that age. old gtiestign with the reply that you wanted to be a teacher or a nurse, you satisfied everyone. For years, the b only career that a woman could hold was teaching or nursing or perhaps being a clerk or a secretary. But over 400 female students from South Huron District High School learned Wednesday that there are many more options open to them today. It was called a Career Day for Women, and the students were introduced to women in non-traditional fields. Roles models included a maintenence mechanic, and a United Church Minister, a doctor, lawyer, cabinet maker, radio broadcaster, and a bank manager were also present. Pat Quigley, a teacher at SHDHS organized the day, and the workshop was led by Susan Andresen and Susan Booth. Ms. 'Andresen is with Women Power, and Ms. Booth is part of Women's Workshop. Both are London groups, Women Power is a free service located at 120 Carling Street in London. This is the sixth year of operation for the organization, which is funded by the federal out reach program. Ms. Andresen says that they help women who have recently completed their education and are looking for their first job, women who are re-entering the work- force after raising a family, and women who are changing careers. Their main purpose is to find women jobs in non- traditional roles. Ms. Andresen pointed out that half of all Canadian women work at only ten different jobs. In order, they are: stenographer, salesperson, maid or babysitter, teacher, seamstress, registered nurse, waitress or bar- tender, registered nurse's tw rt rr wi ~ I I U I I WE'RE VERY BIG Oil SERVICE UJi!i A youth refused tq take her seriously, and it ended up in a scuffle, she said.Constable Luther found that many South Huron students were interested in police work, and that they asked her very good questions about her job. Janice Zolf, a familiar voice to anyone who listens to jazz on CFPL's Stereo 96 during the late evening, was another role model . Ms. Zolf said that ft is only, in very i;ecent years that women' have become radio broad- casters. For .a long time, it was believed that. woman's voice would sound shrill or high-pitched on the air. Ms. Zoif has a University degree and said she always wanted a job as a radio announcer . She started at CFPL answering telephones, until she convinced her employers that she could go on the air. Ruth Ann Murray was another guest familiar to those who watch CFPL television news . She said that the number of women in t.v. news reporting has in- creased recently. Bev Brown is the owner and operator of a pig farm in Huron County. As a farmer, Ms. Brown attends many meetings, and often she will be the only woman present. Frequently, she said, the men at the meeting will expect her to take the minutes because she is a woman. She tells them she is introduced guests from not a secretary and pushes Presybtery and the guest the book aside, she said. speaker, Mrs. Faye Beaton Eleanor Schnaull told the of London, who is a group that there are still registered social worker in some problems facing London.

Iris Young, a programme co- ordinator for Grand River Cable Television said that she did not change her name when she got married for professional reasons, Since she was already known by her maiden name, changing it would cause too much confusion. Pat Quigley reports that feedback from the students about the career day for women has been very positive. She says that the students were amazed to learn that there are so many jobs open to them. Ms. Quigley says that one girl told her that the day "made her realize I can do anything." The students also learned that they can move around in their careers - it is quite acceptable to have more than one career, as many of their guests have had.. It is no longer con- sidered "flighty" or irresponsible to change jobs. As well as the 400 female students from SHDHS there were three grade eight girls' from Precious Blood School and two students from the high school in Wingham in attendance. Abby Hoffman Continued from front page 10,000 kindergarten to grade six students tested in Manitoba 25 percent were overweight and it became more serious in grade 12 where 78 percent of the girls were considered to be obese being 15 or 20 pounds overweight to an unhealthy degree." She went on to say that women are forbidden in several occupations in Ontario. One is in mines being excluded by the Ontario Mining Act and others are restricted in joining police forces by minimum heighth and weight requirements. "Women are being drastically underestimated in what they can do physically. Remember, Marilyn Bell, a 16 year-old girl was the first to swim Lake Ontario,," she added. She concluded "Society simply does not make sport as attractive to girls as it does to young boys. All the joys of sport-the freedom, the creativity, the op- portunity for self-expression the spontaneity, physical challenge and exhiliration of exploring one's physical being and capabilities-are simply not conveyed to girls. And the result is hardly surprising; there is a much lower participation rate in sports activities among girls as compared with boys...The schools provide a fertile ground for change." Parents, teachers and students were involved in leading several of the af- ternoon seminar groups. They included Norm Tait, an Exeter parent, Patti Down, a SHDHS student and teachers Barb Golding, SHDHS and Lois Ottewell, Exeter P.S. Representing each school to organize the program were Pat Quigley and Damian Solomon, South Huron; Jean Turner, Exeter PS; Mary Jacobe, Hensall; Donna Webster, McCurdy; Loreen Gill, Stephen; Cathy Hume, Usborne; Lenore Latulippe, Zurich. Briefs from County Council Huron County council approved a recommendation of the road committee to increase the land purchase price for road widenings from $500 an acre to $2,400 an acre plus $12 a rod for fence allowance. If a new fence is to be constructed by county staff at a price of $12 per rod, it will be deducted from the land purchase price. Council members were told by county engineer Bill Dempsey that the first metric construction project will be undertaken on County Road 11 in Usborne township next spring. He said land purchases after that time will be made on hectare rather than acre measurements, and the conversion will mean a slight increase in the value of the land. Council approved the purchase of a diesel motor grader, complete with snow plow equipment, from Champion Road Machinery Sales Ltd., Goderich for a tender price of $70,715. A tender was accepted from Ross Scott Fuels, Brucefield, to supply in- dustrial fuel oil to the Goderieh courthouse for the next two years.

Ms. Booth teaches a course at Fanshawe College through Women's Workshop entitled "INTO" which stands for "introduction to non-traditional occupatio- ns." According to Ms. Booth, the average Canadian Woman no longer expects to stay at home and "live happily ever after". Ms. Booth says she hopes to open some doors for the female students who attended the career day. "They should look at life as a whole, in- stead of just having a temporary job, until some guy rescues them." Ms. Booth says. The two women spoke to the students at the Rec centre, and then the students split into 12 small groups where they met with women who have non-traditional jobs. You could almost hear Helen Reddy singing her famous song as you moved between the groups. "I am women, hear me roar, In numbers too big to ignore,... Yes I've paid the price But look how much I gained. If! have to, 1 can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman." In one area, Jane Bigelow, the former Mayor of London told the students about the importance of credibility for women in politics. Ms. Bigelow said that women must have emotional control - they should never show anger or hysteria. She said that a women in politics has to either be a very organized person, or she can't stop and worry about her lack of organization. Constable Susan Luther of the Waterloo Regional Police force was another very popular guest. Constable Luther is a former student of SHDHS and she grew up in Hensall. She said that the men on her force were very open-minded about having a woman in their midst, and only on one occasion on the job, has she had difficulties.

Ms. Desautel is an apprentice cabinet maker, and she has also worked on construction, She said that at first she faced a few jokes from the men on the construction sites, but once they saw that she could do the work, they treated her with respect. Lee Steveson, who owns a small business in Stratford said that she, too, faced "cute' :remarks" when she was the only women who attended a business meeting. But she found that the less reaction she made to the remarks, the sooner they ended. Regional for South H-P The South Huron Perth Regional meeting was held in Woodham United Church October 17 with the theme "The Year of the Child" Mrs. Copeland and Mrs. Hartwick were in charge of registration. A sing song under the direction of Mrs. Earl Miller and Mrs. Tom Hem n opened the meeting followed by a warm welcome extended from Mrs. Lloyd Jaques.
