Never a care about the weather on washday . .. no more heavy

Your surroundings change, too, when you own an automatic

Canadian males, in general, are and a good, sound leer,
agreed on one thing. They nod A. woman, she says, goes to a

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 'Every so often,
you'll see a couple of Us rise when
you enter the room. tut don't be
annoyed if We manage to do ' it
without looking at you, and with-
out missing a single adjective in
