WHY NOT?
International women's year is more than
half over. The government has spent
millions of dollars publicizing the point
"Why not?"
Why shouldn't women encourage their
young daughters to pursue any career that
interests them? Why shouldn't politics,
law, medicine, psychology, journalism,
business, industry and all fields of
endeavour be °pee to women who
demonstrate an ability for the job?
Why not? Women answered that
question long ago, and now they're
proving their capabilities_. Female police,
truck and taxi drivers, medical doctors,
veterinarians, lawyers, professors,
members of parliament and executives are
invading the so-called man's world.
Women have come a long way from the
early 1900's, when girls worked for meagre
wages in foul cellars that had no ventilation
and no heat.
By the 1920's , Canadian women could
vote and hold public office in every
province except Quebec, but they couldn't
sit in the Senate. The British North
America Act stated that only "qualified
persons" could be summoned to the
Senate. Prime Minister MacKenzie King
and the Supreme Court of Canada didnt
consider women to be "persons."
Nellie McClung, one of Canada's
pioneer suffragettes, appealed to the Privy
Council in London, which overruled the
Supreme Court. In J929, women were
recognized as "persons". This recognition
existed in theory if not in practice.
Women had to pry open the political,
educational, industrial and professional
doors. They worked hard; they
demonstrated their competence, and they
proved they weren't second-class citizens.
They wanted equal opportunity with their
male counterparts; they also wanted equal
by
Elaine Towrishencl
pay for equal work; and they still do.
The number of women in the upper
echelon of the work force continues to be
small, and the liberationists maintain that
much remains to be accomplished.
The feminists strive for equality,
freedom and respect for their peers. They
challenge all women to seek fulfillment;
they encourage them to do their own thing.
They want to end the_ discrimination
against women.
Perhaps, without realizing. it, the
ferninists and our society discriminate
against a segment of women - those who
find fulfillment in the traditional role of a
wife and a mother.
A phrase often heard today, "working
mother," puzzles me. It refers to a mother,
who is employed outside the home. In my
observations, all mothers work whether
they toil in a factory, office, school or at
home. Motherhood is full-time
employment.
Feminists quickly point out that the
woman who works outside the home
provides the same benefits for her family
as the Woman who stays at home. While
she's away, though, a substitute mother or
a day-care centre looks after her children.
The woman who stays at home tends her
children twenty-four hours a day. Contrary
to popular belief, she isn't taking the easy
way out. Since when did raising children
and running a house become simple?
Some women sacrifice their careers to
raise their families; others suppress their
motherly instincts for the sake of their jobs.
Some women successfully mix a career
with motheinooa; others find complete
fulfillment in being a wife and mother.
Society pressures all women to fulfill
themselves outside the home, even though
it may go against their natural instincts. As
a result, the women who wish to stay at
home are sometimes made to feel inferior.
They are fulfilling their lives and
contributing to society , though, in the way
that is right for them. They are also
furthering the rights of women, because
they make their own decisions. The
pressure applied by today's society makes
their choices difficult ones. But, like the
female MPs, doctors, police and
executives, these women are doing their
own thing. Why not?

fors. Mac Sholdice was hostess

day evening.
Mrs. Don Achilles read UCW

In Ontario, 'a large number of
people are putting their troubles
behind them -- literally.
In a province with eight million
inhabitants, there are an
estimated 400,000 new and
recurring cases of back pain every
year, and the Workmen's
Compensation Board deals with
some 20,000 claims annually for
back problems alone.
One of Ontario's more than
200 orthopedic surgeons
describes this as a vast problem --
almost an epidemic. Moreover,
he thinks that perhaps as much as.
80 per cent of so-called low back
pain is preventable.
Typically, he says, it
accompanies obesity, poor
posture and improper lifting. In
the obese, the pot belly, with its
lack of muscle tone, hangs out
and pulls the spine forward in an
accentuiled arch.
This, added to a steadily
decreasing suppleness of ' the
spine that occurs as one gets
older, sets the scene for disc,
problems that cause some, but
not all, low back pain. Particularly
susceptible to these troubles are
manual workers, gardeners, and
sportsmen or •housewives who
engage in sudden movements
that put strain on the spine. '
Poor posture is a major factor
contributing to low back pain.
Ideally, people should be taught
to sit and stand properly in
report and received the offering
which was dedicated by Mrs.
Thamer.
It was agreed to give a donation
to the Victor Home, and plans
were made for a shower. A Fowl
Supper, committee meeting is to
be held September 22, The
Regional meeting will be held in
Clinton Wesley-Willis United
Church and Mrs. Reid is going for
a supper preceding the meeting.
Walton Unit will arrange
flowers for the anniversary next
Sunday. Rev. Ed. B aker will take
the 'morning service, while Rev.
Ball of Gorrie will be guest
speaker. The next meeting will
be held at the home of Mrs.
Nelson Reid.
Mrs. Baker closed the meeting
with prayer. Lunch was served by
Mrs. Herb Traviss, Mrs. Earl
Watson, Mrs. Gerald Watson and
the hostess.
17th and Boundary Unit
The September meeting of the
unit was held at the home of Mrs.
M artin Baan on Wednesday even-
ing with 16 members and one
visitor present.
Mrs. Roy Williamson opened
the meeting with a poem and
"Where cross the crowded ways
of life" was sung. Mrs. Cliff
Hoegy read the scripture and
Mrs. Williamson gave a prayer
followed by a poem, "How do you
like your neighbours?" Will your
anchor hold in the storms of life",
followed by. prayer by Mrs.
Williamson.
Mrs. C. Hoegy gave the topic,
The publisher and the book seller.
Mrs. M. Baan presided for the

Johnston.

stooping -- and a twisting effect
caused by swinging the club • or
racquet.
Persistent back pain required
assessment by a physician to
determine what causes the pain,
which could be a manifestation of
problems other than in the spine.
Problems could stem, from the
kidne y or other internal organs,
for instance.
Also a great deal of back
trouble is related to affluence --
too much food and/ or too much
lounging around doing nothing.
People who have had gall bladder
surgery, or hysterectomies, may
suffer from back pain because of
the poor muscle tone that often
follows , these operations. By
doing the appropriate exercises
after surgery, they may regain
muscle tone.' But for the most
part, back pain is not only one of
our commonest health problems,
it's also one of the easiest to
avoid, if you.,don't turn your back
on it.

"Where was the defect that
made it necessary to recall your
car?"

bad, except that you never know
when luxury is going to stand up.

childhood so they can benefit for a
lifetime from good postural
habits. It also helps to sleep on a
firm mattress offering proper
support to the spine. Interes-
tingly, there is less low back pain
in certain' Eastern countries
where people squat to talk or eat '
-- a position that's automatically
more natural to the spine than
sitting in an armchair.
Lifting the wrong way is
another common cause of back
pain. The correct way to life is by
bending the legs and not the
back.Lifting by stooping over with
arms extended can put many
pounds of pressure on the spinal
column, inevitably causing
damage and pain.
People. who. wear high-heel and
platform-sole shoes can suffer
from back pain as a result of spine
arching. These people are often
seen in doctors' offices and
hospital emergency wards for
back trouble caused in this way.
The best way to prevent back
pain -- which, incidentally, can be
an extremely painful affliction --
is to stay fit and trim and to avoid
sudden strain on the spine.
For those prone to the problem,
swimming is the best form of
exercise because the body weight
is supported, while all joints and
muscles are exercised. Tennis
and golf, by contrast, may
aggravate the situation because
they involve bending and
