I should tell you, Ann, none of us is Catholic. - I know from-readin your column that you favor abortion _on demand for any woman who wants it. _ Please restate your views and talk some common, sense to my son and his wife. -- Drummed Out Of The Tribe. Dear Drummed: I am indeed in favor of abortion on demand for any woman who wants it :.but the woman who wants it must be the one who is pregnant, and not her mother- in-law. When your son"s -wTrsaid she had considered abortion but would feel guilty..about-it, that should have ended the discussion. Abortion is an emotionally charged question, Catholic or not.

Douglas hopes for that kind of stability and so this good- looking lad wants to be adopted. Douglas is Indian and Anglo-Saxon in descent. Ile has brown eyes. dark hair, and olive skin and is in excellent health: He is quiet and shy among strangers until the conversation turns or is led to sports. Then he becomes really animated. This lad's chief interest is•sports. Ile plays all games, belongs to a hockey team and never likes to miss hockey or football on. television. Douglas is also a .camping enthusiast. ile enjoys all kinds of music, especially rock and roll, and loud! In Grade seven, Douglas admits that he is not keen on stud3 ing. He will probably want to learn a trade -when he goes on. to secondary school. Though not a great student he has mastered two languages — English and French.

Dear Ann Landers: Usually you're on the ball. But you blew_ it when you agreed with "Service Oriented" tliira male nurse should be called by another name, something less feminine. Do you believe a female physician should be called something/ other than "doctor" because she is a woman? • Why, then, should a male nurse_be called something otherthan a nurse,?- .Think. about it, Ann. --Appleton Reader. ,Dear Ap: 'I __ have thought. about it, and the advice stands. The word "nurse" is also a synonym for "breast-feed." This double -meaning noun - verb gives "nurse" a strong feminine. flavor. I hope someone comes up with a better name for men who want to work in the field of patient care. Dear Ann Landers: I'm in my 70's and live in a very pleasant home for the aged. There are about six or seven women who live here with their husbands. The rest are widows. - Some of the widows have "boyfriends" who live here, also. They invite the gen- tlemen to their rooms for coffee and cookies, to watch TV or play cards: The wives.think this is terrible. I think it's rather nice.

He said the campaign would be designed as a continuing program to improve com- munications between the Em- ployment Standards Act in- cluding minimum wage, hours of work, vacation with pay, equal pay for etpal work, wage -protection; overt inte, r minor-''" rates of pay and terminations. The initial bulletin to be, distributed to all employers in the province later this week, sets out changes in minimum, wages that will become effec- tive on February 1. The bulletin also contains a report on interpretations and decisions made on various sec- tions of The Employment Stan- dards 'Act. The new minimum rates ap- ' proved by Cabinet are: $1.80 for all employees in general in- dustry except students and $2.05 for construction em- ployees. A minimum rate of $1.45 has been set for students under the age of 18. Mr. Guindon said an 18 -year- old person today has all the rights, privileges and respon- sibilities of an adult and should not be expected to work for a rate less than' the general: minimum. He said the policy of the On- tario Government has been to promote more equitable distribution of wages for work performed. For example, .he noted that Ontario was theTirst province to actively promote equal pay for equal work. He said the purpose of the minimum wage is to ensure the highest possible wage rate for .low -paid workers while at the same time preventing unem- ployment among workers due to high labor costs.
