I'll only be able to touch on some aspects —many points will be my own opinion and you may not agree with me, however, it's a subject in which I've always been most interested—mainly because I've been working myself as a woman in, what you may call, a man's world. Agriculture A few years ago, we had a Farm Forum topic entitled, "Equality for Women". We asked a `number 'of questions. One was, "Are you willing to sacrifice your privileges as a woman to obtain equality?" Fifty per cent of the Forum members said NO they prefer- red to maintain their privileges as a woman. Fifteen groups stated it shouldn't be necessary to sacrifice any pivileges to have equality. Well, let's just consider the word equality. The Oxford dictionary states that "equality" is a condition on being equal. When Thomas Jefferson pre- pared the Declaration of Inde- pendence, this is what he said about equality, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. We might ask our- selves the question, was Jeffer- son talking just about the races or was he talking about men and women? Well, I feel there are times when a woman shows far more initiative than a man; as an illustration I would like to tell you a story, this one goes back to ancient Greece: "One evening SEPTIC TANKS, cesspools, etc., cleaned.

Terms—Cash THOMAS HUFFMAN, Prop, GLENN WEBI3, Clerk ALVIN WALPER, Auctioneer a young woman and a hand- some lad were walking along a country road. The lad was carrying a large jar on his shoulder, holding a chicken in one hand, a shepherd's crook in the other, and leading a goat. They came to a long, dark lane. Said the girl: "I'm afraid to walk here with you. You may try to kiss me." Said the lad: "How can I, with all these things I'm carrying." Said the girl: "Well, you may stick the crook in the ground, tie the goat to the crook and put the chicken under the jar!!" You see she not only had a solution but it was a thrifty one, she wasn't taking any chances on loosing the goat and the chic- ken! Now, that's what I call having initiative! Type of Equality In defining the types of equal- ity between men and women, we find there is a law in Can- ada which says women are en- titled to equal pay for equal work. However, this law is w o r d e d so ineffectively it doesn't mean much. In consid- ering legal rights for women, here is one that should interest von. Did you know that no matter how hard a wife works to help build up her husband's savings, his business or his firm, she is not regarded as a partner in the eyes of the law? When it comes to equality in holding office, a man who is secretary of a provincial farm organization said this, "Women should have equal right to hold office in any organization but they must have the qualifica- tions." Others say, that in order to obtain and hold an office where men and women are both eligi- ble, a woman has to be even more qualified .than the man who is running against her if she wants to win the office. An interesting story is told about Lady Astor, a member of parliament in England. Lady Astor sat in the House for two years and Winston Churchill still had not spoken a word to her. At last she asked Mr. Churchill the reason for his attitude. His reply was, "Well, we thought if we ignored you long enough, you would go home where you belong". This did not phas Lady Astor—she stayed. You might be interested in some of the quotations made by the forums when they dis- cussed equality for women. From Hastings Oounty came this comment: "No, we don't want equality, we have sur- passed that. We have the privi- lege of being mothers, of mold- ing the future of the next gen- eration. What greater privilege could we have? As a general rule, behind a successful busi- ness man or farmer, is a good wife and mother." A Forum in Middlesex Coun- ty looked at it from another angle, "Equality can be taken too far—after all who would want the privilege of working on a road gang as Russian women do. The pendulum can swing too far. One last com- ment—from a man by the way —when a king marries, his wife becomes the Queen, but when a Queen marries, her hus- band is only a consort—how about equality for men?" Responsibilty of Women Where do the responsibilities of women 'start and end? • Is her first responsibility to her husband and family? Does this mean she should not take a job outside her home until her children are old enough to take care of themselves? Up until a few years ago rural women didn't face the problem of working outside the home, but today many of our rural women have returned to teaching school, to nursing, working in the stores and offices in the nearby towns, and so are now facing the same decisions as the urban women. Many mothers feel that by working they can help to send their children to college and assist their husbands in paying off the mortgage. They also find working outside the home is good for them, they feel younger, are able to dress better and have something more to talk about other than babies and husbands. Career Women How do women decide to be career women?—some train for it—others drift in to it. Many single girls plunge into a' ca- reer because they have been unable to find a suitable mate. Perhaps a women's greatest power, lies in h e r ability to work behind her man. T h e successful businessman almost invariably has a wife who assists him every step of the way, Many business firms, when ,hiring young executives, not only in- terview the man in question but also the wife. This happens more frequently in the U.S.A. but often in Canada. Some re- search is done re compatability of a marriage. A contented man—makes a good employee! Management is aware of this, Just as necessary to this busi- nessman is his secretary. She is the buffer between her boss and the rest of the world. She reminds him •of his obligations, keeps him posted in changes which affect his job, and is con- tent in this role. These women are not competing with men, they are complementing them. Their power in this role is in- estimable. The Changing Role of Women Up until not so very long ago women walked in very narrow paths set for them in remote ages. Their revelation to them- selves as persons, has done more than the industrial revo- lution and automation, to give them a new aspect to all their relations. Today, they are pulled in many different directions, free to make choices about many important things former- ly decided for then by others. However, there are still barriers to the status equality of women. Prejudice based on sex still ex- ists. In Ottawa a few years ago the board of control ad - 4 ININNINIMMIIMOMMO TAKE NOTICE THAT THE Aminal Meeting of Producer Members of the Huron County Hog Producers' Association will convene at the hour of 1:30 p.m., E.S.T., on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1966 at the Legion Hall, Clinton for the purpose of the proper business of the annual meet- ing, the election of officers, the election of voting rep- resentatives. ROBT. McALLISTER, ELMER IRELAND, President Secretary vertised for an assistant indus- trial commissioner. The only applicant for the position was a woman, a former department of external affairs officer with exxcellent qualifications. Two controllers, objected to giving her the assistant industrial com- missioner's title. "I don't see why we can't get some smart young man with senior matricu- lation to fill the job," said one of the •controllers. Well, the lady did get the position and the listed salary—but she didn't get the title! Despite such incidents, the position of women in Canada has been dramatically altered since their first probing efforts for work outside the home. The demand of women for work ran parallel with their campaign for the vote. Both stemmed from the in- dustrial revolution, which freed wives from much of their do- mestic drudgery. At the turn of the 20th cen- tury women in Canada were working as factory hands, shop assistants, governesses, millin- ers and, most often as domes- tics. The average pay was $2.50 a week—$2.00 for domestics. The increasing evidence that in Canada today the search for executive talent had finally shattered the sex barrier was underscored by Ruth Houck, of Brampton, who in 1955 became Continued from preceding page the only Canadian woman dele- gate to a United Nations Gen- eral Assembly and later was appointed a governor of the CBC. "Of course there's still dis- crimination," she said, having completed a survey of the changing status of Canadian women, "but it's decreasing. And every woman does a good job in a hard place helps to dispel the prejudice! "Then, I think women them- selves must change in their atti- The Board of the urCounty School rea N Are inviting tenders to supply fuel ail for the former Stanley TSA portions of the area.

If they continue to believe they are the weaker sex, so they will be, But if they use the brains with which they are endowed, study and familiarize themselves with community and world affairs, accept responsibilities instead of shying away from them, be a truly interested and well-in- formed partner, then I think they will achieve just as much equality as they desire." The United Farm Women of Alberta were responsible for producing the first woman ca- binet minister in the British Empire. In fall of 1921 when the Unit- ed Farmers of Alberta took over the government of the prov- ince, Mrs. Irene Parlby, then president of the United Farm Women, was brought into the new cabinet as minister without portfolio, remaining there until the defeat of the government in 1935.
