people were taken for a drive
through the country to view the
autumn scenery, then returned
to the church for supper.
The program included musica]
numbers by the McMillan Fam-
ily, a sing -song, and slide
pictures. The outing was great-

commended for the project.

ist, Mrs. Brown, organist and
Mr. Campbell assisted Rev.

program will be held on Mon-

instead of Thursday ev. 'ing

Of course, you will rememb-
er to get out to vote today,
won't you? You won't stick at
homelike a bunch of spoiled
brats and complain about the
way you are being treated with-
out getting out to try to do
something about it, will you?
It is a funny thing how women
have to take the lead in most
everything, although out of
kindness for the lame ego,
women have so far resisted the
temptation to get into politics
in any large numbers. There's
very little doubt that women
could run this province and this
nation as effectively as men do
...perhaps even more so...
but I gather that women have
decreed that the males of this
nation should have a kind of
monopoly on something. It
might as well be politics for as
we all know, government is
nothing more than a puppet of
the people anyway.
In my capacity as a news
reporter (in my spare time,.
when I'm not dreaming up in-
sults for this column) I've conte
across a few women who make
very find politicians. In fact,
whenever I've seen women on
a public board or council,
they've done a fine job, many
times putting their male assoc-
iates to shame.
I know there are many people
who believe that women are
too emotional to be good polit-
icians. That's poppycock, A
good cry never hurt anyone...
if it did come during a public
meeting with the press and
people present in great numbers.
Most women I know in pub-
lic life fight for what they bel-
ieve in. Women are usually
less impressed with personal •
success and platitudes of praise
than are men. They are much
more apt to wallow into the
thick of the fray - right or
wrong - to bite, claw and

BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
scratch, if need be, for what
they feel is best.
Just the other evening I had
the extreme pleasure to sit in
on a meeting at which a woman
was fighting for a tree. Now
that may seem like a silly cause
to choose, but this particular
lady is really hung-up on trees
and their place in society's new
jungle. This gal believes in all
sincerity that a tree is a living
thing which will go on living
when most of us are dead and
gone... and we should change
our ways to accommodate
them, the senior beings, rather
than destroy thein to accommo-
date us.
. She has a point... and wheth-
er you agree or disagree is of
no consequence right now. The
simple truth here is that this
woman went to bat for a tree...
and held her ground when every-
one else fell prey to the com-
mon and frail arguments of
modern man who prefers asphalt
to nature.
The strange part of the whole
thing was that the lady display-
ed heart and feeling for things
and plants and people. Her
reale associates showed their
cold, callous sides by succumb-
ing to the whims of a few people
who may have been a little
more influential or a little
more troublesome than the
average Joe.
Naturally, the lady lost the
argument. Why not? The odds
were stacked against her. As
is mostly the case, men on
public bodies unknowingly
brace their feet against the fe-
males who dare to invade their
private little world of superfic•
-
ial authority. I really believe
they don't mean to do this, but
it seems to be a natural instinct
with tnan to resist the wants
and desire of women... any
women.
I've noticed that from time
to time as a reporter. Some-
how, the male members of a
council or a board or any other
public body don't quite take
you seriously when you are
a woman. It is almost as though
they believe you have a lance
brain and are incapable of
rationalizing in the face of a
problem.
I've noticed that the attitude
of these sante men to a male
reporter is one of extreme caut-
ion... almost to the point of
distrust. Send a lady reporter,
the board relaxes. Send a man
to take notes and everyone is
tense and very, very careful.
I don't feel it is a case of
women in a man's domain.
Far from it. I consider women
to be entirely suited for work
in pulic life and when they fin-
ally assume that responsibility,
they are truly in their element
and doing a job the way it was
intended to be done... from
the heart.
