town's newest councillor last week after

who is moving,back to Burlington for a

Detachment of the Ontario Provincial
Police are investigating a rash of stolen
cars taken and then recoveredin the
Vanastra area between last Saturday
night and the early hours of Sunday
morning
All of the cars stolen had keys left in
the ignition and OPP Constable Bill
Wilson warns all car owners to take their
car keys from the ignition when the
vehicle is not in use and to lock all car
doors.
One victim, Deborah Kent of 29 Regina
St.. in Vanastra, had her car stolen twice
-)
during the evening after car thieves
found another set of keys in the car's
unlocked glove compartment, the '
second time around.
Othen ,.victims were Carl Gordon
Richardson of RR 1, Brucefield, Allan
Richard Mallot, St. Charles Square,
Vanastra and Evert Stryker, RR 5,
Clinton.
-All the stolen .vehicles were recovered
in the vicinity from which they had been
removed.
Anyone who has any information
regarding the thefts of any of the five
vehicles is asked to contact the Goderich
OPP.
ording to 'a , report recently
ed by Dr. ,'William F. Theobalds
an •of the' department of
tion at the University of Waterloo,
n add recreatibirto.:those areas in
Ontario women still • suffer . sex

Theobald's' ` report " discusses

girls were alloted 130 hours for physical
recreation "while boys were alloted 254

crafts against the boys', 69. hours•
Ringett (played almost solely by girls;
associations :ha..... experienced
'tremendous . difficulty" securing ice
time, the report notes. There is reluc-
tanceto reduce the existing male hockey
programs to make room for -the ringette
'programs
"This argument is spurious,", the'
report emphasizes. "Public recreation is
superted by taxpayers and it is there
pr. ;the goodof all, male and female
,.alike. ;.If facilities have bedtime
dominated by males over the years it is
discriminatory to . refuse to change
now."
Dr. Theobald found most recreation
administrators agree community
recreation resources ought to be
available equally to both sexes, but they
admit this is not happening. This, he
concludes, is because the administrators
await public demand for service, rather
than take the initiative and offer it.
"It ; is obvious thatdiscrimination
against women does exist," the report
states.. "In many cases :this
discrimination is long-standing, with
cumulative effects."
In other words, because women
haven't been able to'get a fair deal in the
past they've tended to give up.
Other ` things that inhibit women's
participation include the image of the
ever -sweet smelling female promoted
through advertising produces women
who don't like to get sweaty or gettheir
hair mussed, those who enjoy •com-
petitiveor aggressive sports are looked
down upon as unfeminine, women have
traditionally been confined to the home
and tend to pass up the public types of
recreational activities and women get
channelled into activities that prepare
them for homemaking and motherhood.
As for the second major area of
discrimination .... jobs in recreation
the report cites' 1975 figures showing
there were only three females in the
province in recreation work earning
more than $20,000 a year while there
were 31 males at or above that figure.
Eighty- five per cent of the full time
administrators in recreation are males,
The majority of women in recreation are
holding low status, low paying jobs.
The study also reports younger
recreation , administrators are less
responsive to the problems of women
than is the middle -age group. Another
finding shows that women university
graduates employed in recreation jobs
earn less than their male counterparts.
"While most of the people we in-
terviewed claimed there is no wage
discrimination against females in public
recreation in Ontario, the evidence is
that there is," says Dr. Theobald.
He cites individual responses from
recreation administrators: One
suggested the influx of women into the
job market should be discouraged
because "these women are taking jobs
away from men"; more than one third of
the recreation leaders contendwomen
are "by nature" too emotional to hold
certain jobs. Once even contended
women ought not go to university
because the experience "just gives them
ambitions and desires they can't fulfill
when they marry".

Voluntary health and health-related
"organizations should submit ap-
plications to the Canadian Public Health
Association in Ottawa before March 15,
1977. After applications are approved,
voluntary organizations will be required
to contact Canada. Manpower Centers to
obtain candidates for projects. Students
should apply through the Canada
• Manpower Centers. .
• A.program: involving the .non-medical

the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs to

The fund will provide employment for
approximately 210 students at a total
cost of $600,000. All projects" must be
sponsored by an academic institution dr
social "services agency, or by a
recognized ,. community • group.
Applications and awards are normally
filed through the sponsor, although
students- who wish to do research may
applydirectly, indicating their sponsor
or sponsors.,
Theprogram is to be administered
through the regional offices of the Non -
Medical Use of Drugs Directorate
located in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto,
Winnipeg and Vancouver. Applications
.should be made to these offices `by
March 15 of 1977.
In addition the Office of Manpower
and Immigration will operate programs
known as Young Canada Works and
Summer Job Corps Program.
Manpower Minister Bud Cullen notes,
"We are trying very hard to respond to
the needs of students: This year's
program will be much larger than last
year and it will provide worthwhile jobs
for many more young people.”
The $65 million program is expected to
result in almost_ a quarter million jobs
for young Canadians.
By mid-February more than 300,
Canada Manpower Centers for Students
will be in operation' throughout the
country to solicit summer job orders
from employers and accept
registrations byyoung people.
The overall SSEAP plan last summer,
on a budget , of approximately $24
million, placed about 200,000 young
people in temporary jobs in the private
sector and created 12,160 jobs in the,
public sector. This year, approximately
the same number are expected to be
placed in the private sector and around
37,000 students will find jobs in federal
government projects.
