Zurich Citizens News, 1971-04-08, Page 111 { THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1971 r ii ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS. PAGE ELEVEN Huron County Board of Education Takes No Action (by Shirley J. Keller) Dr. Harry Deathe Goderich, suggested to the Huron County Board of Education that it should consider a policy whereby a husband and a wife could not teach on the same staff in any school in Huron County. No action was taken on the matter. Dr. Deathe suggested that now there is a surplus of school teachers, it should not be nec- essary to have husbands and wives engaged for the same school. "Sometimes you have to hire both to get one, " was the ob- servation of one superintendent. The board was told that some badly needed qualified teachers have turned down positions in Huron County because a spouse could not find work within the Huron system. 0 Sesame Street Returns in Fall (by Shirley J. Keller) Huron County Board of Educat- ion chairman Robert Elliott drew the attention of board members to an announcement from the Canadian Radio -Television Com- mission that Sesame Street will return to television this fall. The Commission is prepared for the program year starting in the fall of 1971, to authorize private affiliates of the CBC to exceed the percentage of prog- rams imported from the United States if this is caused by the showing of Sesame Street. Huron County Board of Educat- ion had written to the Commis- sion expressing it's views in favor of the children's television show and asking that it be retained on T.V. in this area. 0 Honor Recent Bride At Several Showers A miscellaneous shower arrang- ed by the staff of Queensway Nursing Home, was held at the home of Mrs. Vic Stan Saturday evening, April 3, for her daught- er-in-law, Mrs. James Stan, the former Martha Kassies, a recent bride.

Support Easter Seals. rom my window UP AND ONWARD WOMEN The headlines in the local daily paper caught my eye the other day. "Women smarter than men" they said... and I blinked hard and then read on. It seems that Dr. Arthur Jen- sen claims that on the average, women are smarter than men - by some two to five LQ points. Surely it didn't take a psych- ologist all these years to discov- er what the world has suspected since the beginning of time. Just as it was Eve in the Garden of Eden who tool< the lead in everything, it has been women down through the ages who have been the backbone of the nations, I'm not a women's liberation- ist, I think you realize. I'm just a woman who cincerely be- lieves that women are superior to men in intelligence and it is the reason, I'm sure, that God placed women in the role of bearing children, caring for families and making homes. After all, few people will argue that homemaking is one of THE most important positions as far as the future of this old world is concerned. What would happen, for inst- ance, if all women of the world suddenly decided to quit bear- ing children. Give them birth? Well, that duty would have to remain with the ladies but after delivery, suppose all the women in the whole world. agreed they would let old dad have a go at it. How many men could be up all night with a cranky baby and still be alert and bright at the office the next day? How many fathers could plan meals, care for the kids, be the fam- ily's wardrobe mistress, run a chauffering service and ump- teen different things and still be a brilliant conversationalist when the boss arrives for cock tails and dinner? Not many, I'd wager, because as well as not having the fortitude to withstand the pressure of home -type living, men just aren't as mentally nimble as women who must keep abreast of a dozen totally differ- ent situations all at the same time. An editor friend of mine was telling me that he has put a lady on the editorial staff at his office and discovered for the first time in his career just how efficient his office can run. I told him it was hardly any myst- ery that a female editor can org- anize the workload so easily. Most women, I told him, can make cream sauce with one D; .SHWOOD BAPTISM Andrea Karen, infant daught- er of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rader, was baptized in Zion Lutheran church Sunday, April 4, by Rev. Theo. Meibohm. Sponsors were Mr. and Mrs. Keith Rader.

Mr. and Mrs. Syd Baker spent last week at Port Colborne with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Huffman. Art Haugh has returned from St. Joseph's Hospital, London, to his home. Misses Wendy and Michelle Webb, of Goderich, spent the weekend With Mr. and Mrs. Syd Baker. BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER hand, fasten junior's bow tie with the other one and polish the side of the stove with her foot! Organizational ability isn't something you can learn, I told him. You are horn with it and tilt reason women have so much more of it than men is because their role has always been to be at man's side as a helpmate... someone to locate his socks, keep track of his club minute book, remember telephone numbers, hold onto the car keys and look after his financial fut- ure. It is also significant, I feel, that though a man is the head of the household, even according to the Holy Bible, he hasn't a chance if he happens to draw a wife who is a little shy on brain - power. For instance, a man may bark the orders anc crack the whip, but unless he has a good wife to actually carry out his plans for him, he is usually so far behind the eight -ball in a month or so that there's small opportunity for escape. You've heard it before, haven't you? A woman can make or break a man! That could only be if it is widely acknowledged that females are superior to male; in most every respect. You don't believe that women are born smarter and therefore were naturally intended to have more grey -matter than men? Well, hear what Dr. Jensen says about that. He reports that recent work on sex difference in IQ has bolstered his theory that environment plays only a small part in shaping intelligence. Jensen - and other doctors - conclude that 80 percent of the variance in intelligence among the general population can be traced to genetic factors --- which tends to prove to me that boys have the same opportunity as gals to be born smart, . , but fewer of them are, There's just no way around it, folks. Women are smarter than men. It seerris just plain foolish that it has taken all these cent- uries for the newspapers to fin- ally get around to printing the story.
