Canadian males, in general, are and a good, sound leer, agreed on one thing. They nod A. woman, she says, goes to a Sugar and Spice judiciously when they hear that delightful song from the musical My Fair Lady, which asks the question: "Why Can't a Woman be Like a Man?" They realize, reason- able -chaps that they are, what a pleasant, placid world it would be if women could, by some miracle, he transforined into sensible, kindly, decent, regular, jolly, good natured, easy-going people like men. Canadian -females are just 118 mutual On a. gripe to which my wife gave vent the other evening, for perhaps the one hundred and eleventh. time, "Why is it,"' she. fumed, "that Canadian men never treat a, woman as a human being?" "Wuddya mean?" I asked in my courtly, Canadian Male fashion. She' told me. It seems that Ca- nadian men lack, among • other things, gallantry, good manners, party with her husband, She has a new dress, a new hair-do, and reeks of "Treachery" or "Pure Vice" or something similar for which she has shot $5. Three min- utes after she arrives, she is sit- ting with a circle of other women, babbling of babies and bathrooms, dryers and drapes. All the men are out in the kitchen, drinking happily, or huddled at the other end of the living room, haggling over politics -and football. 0 - 0 0 The only communication between, the sexes during the evening, claims My Old Woman, occurs when one of the men hollers across the abyss: "Hey, Mabel: What year did we get married?" in an effort. to prove his point about which year Ottawa won the Grey Cup. One other point of contact is made between the segregated groups, says My Girl, when the hostess serves the food. Weav- ing among the flailing arms of the men to pass the pickles, she re- ceives less attention than a waiter in a beverage room, she avers. - The way she sees it, the sexes should mingle freely. The women should stand about decoratively, looking slightly seductive. To them should come a steady pro- cession of men, who indulge in fierce discussions of art, politics and religion, in the process bestow- ing on these mysterious and de- sirable creatures an occasional deep, lbnging look, or a whimsical, frustrated lift of. eyebrow. 0 - 0 - 0 Well sir, fellows, you'll be glad to know that I didn't just sit there and swallow all this stuff without coming back With some pretty good ones of my own. First of all, I pointed out that this is a young country. It's only a couple of generations since the men did all their drinking out in the harness shed. Already, they've got inside, into the kitchen, arid they don't even spit on the stove. I also suggested that Canadian men are hag-ridden. All they hear from their wives when they come home from work is about how there's something wrong with the washing machine, and 'that darn milkman only left two quarts, and the kids have been awful today, Joe, and you've got to do something about them, and the church is after Me again for pies and I don't see how you expect me to keep this house up without a cleaning wo- man and if yeti think you're going fishing on Saturday . Not a sensible, kindly, human ex- pression in the entire out-pouring. Not a trace of a feminine wile, a dab of perfume, a black negligee, or a soft look. Not a suggestion that she's glad to have hint home. Not a hint that he might have had a few things go wrong today 'at work. Not the slightest admission that she might be a bit of an old bat, Not even one `lousy cold beer in the icebox, because she split the last one with the other female martyr from next door, this after- noon. 0 - 0- - 0 Thirdly, I observed that we Ca- nadian Males .are not to be com- pared, even by the most wildly romantic woman, to the prinecs, the intellectuals, and the Waiters of I BOX 390 I Walkerville, Ontario, Sept. 28, 1960 Editor Advance-Times, Wingham, Ont. Dear Sir: Find enclosed $3.00 for my year's subscription to the home paper. Sorry I am late. I don't know too many of the people now, having been away for 30 years, but I like to know what is going on in the old home town. I, too, enjoy your editorials. A "snappy" paper keeps town folk on the move and de- notes progress. All kinds of success to you. YoUrs. truly, (Mrs.) Mary Burns. 0 - 0 - Box 428, Wingham Oct. 3, 1960, Advance-Times Wingham. Dear Editor, As a member of Voice of Women, I would like to appeal to the wo- men of this community. Voice of Women was organized three months ago, the idea having been stimulat- ed by the failure of the Summit Conference; and its aim is to arouse public sentiment against nuclear weapons. It calls on the women of Canada to give leader- ship to the women of the world in this protest. Among the spon- sors of this organization are Mrs. Lester B. Pearson, Mrs, Hazel Argue, Senator Nancy Hodges, and others:. - The possibility of nuclear war is ,a matter of concern to all of us mothers as we look ahead to the future of our children. If there is to be a future for them, there must be no nuclear war. We simply cannot complacently accept the terrible threat that hangs over all of humanity. If we, the women of the West; can succeed in reaching women on the other side of the "curtain", as mothers of young children, we could possibly start a chain reaction toward peace in- 'stead of war. So let us add our voices to the Voice of Women, and speak out against nuclear arma- ments and war. For information you may write to Voice of Women, Room 204, 329 Bloor St. West, Toronto. Mary Hildebrand Europe, I'd like to see one of them fix a kid's bike, put oh the storm windows, or stand calmly up to his bosom in icy water, fish- ing rainbow trout, for eight hours, without getting a bite. We are, as I mentioned, iron men compared to those hand-kissers. Another thing. Time after time, I have tried to engage a Canadian woman in a continental-type Om- Versatien. "You're looking particu- larly delieiOus tonight, my dear," I purr. "114'1'00' she giggles, "Diane is doing far too much homework for het age." Ott "Well, you've tettithily been busy at the punch bowl," she titters. ..Or: "Oh, this is just on old thing I picked up in Eaton's," she blushes. Trying to get a Canadian woman into a sexy, scintillating conver- sation is about as easy as trying to convince a millionaire that he can't take it with him. But don't be discouraged, girls. We're com- ing ,along fast.
