Jayne Mansfield
General Meeting Of W-W UCW
Has Cancer Film/ Information
It’s an amusing picture isn't
it? And d mystery?Onekninute the Chamber fe
qyiipt, prderjy and to wisely
proper. The very next, mon-
aeles slip from. widening eyes,
mouths are gaping hpjg§ in
fiuslied faces' and illiterate re-
marks pass from one zombie to
another. / ( .
No one ,would;; suppose this
gaggling group is the govern
ment of England ... and after'
the Beetles and the Monkees
and all the other curious clowns
produced on the island, no one
would believe that a single
lonesome girl in a mini-skirt
slitting in the Speaker’s gallery
wohld have such a profound
effect on the- mighty British,
Parliament. ■ '
But it happened.
Jayne Mansfield has. more of
everything, so much that even
light lovely lycra can’t control
all of it. She rather presses
out over and through her
clothes in a ’ succession of care
less curves that scream “look
at me” and whisper “but keep
ypur ■ eyes closed” all in the
same breath. Shouflderdength
blonde hair frames lazy eye-lids
and* permanently dampened
lips. In a mini-skirt and a

field would probably give off
more - sparks than an ■ electric
welder on, the job.. . ;
She’s the kind oif girl boys
would find difficult to explain
to their mothers:-and the rea^oft
Wives put automatic homing de
vices in the hems of their hus-
band’s trousers. She gives the
impression she is Gerda Mun- singer and Christine. Keeler all
tied up in one neat bundle t. .
apd it really isn’t much wb-nder
that the boys in the benches
of the U.K. Commons did a
double take. • ,
I’d like toz know why Miss
.Mansfield bothers to visit ’Par
liament at all. Surely it wasn’t
to show off her pew' skirt or to
run a dest on th® level of her
sex appeal that day. It’s doubt-?
ful that She's contemplating a
political career although somp'
screen stars are finding that
role more to their liking these
days, I hardily think she was on
her lunch hour. • ’
Maybe she’s going to play a
lady statesman in the next
movie she does and perhaps her
visit to the Commons was1 a
move to become orientated for
the part. Could have, been a
dare. Might have- been she was
stepping out of the rain. Or
was it to improve her mind?
It will go down in the records
for the information of posterity
that an audible, buz? went
through the British House <Xf
Commons on April 12, 1967, so
that the Speaker had to' call
for order. Someone may even
take caire to note that Jayne
Mansfield stopped the workings
of government just long, enough
to throw every man in the
Chamber into .a sweat.
But why was she there?
Is she siwefet on one of the
members? Is she measuring
blood pressures; by Some new
means?' Is she a spy? Is she
a plant by certain susptcliious
wives-? Was lit some press
agent’s idea of publicity? Was
Jayne Maaisfield' just another
spectator that day . . , ??

Clinton News-Record,
Dear Sir:
. T am quite concerned about
recent publicity that the Hufbn
County Federation of Agricul
ture and the Ontario Humane
Society Have- been receiving:
I was also quite interested, to
read the letter to the eidfytor
from Mr. -T. Hughes, General
Manager of the Ontario Humane
Society. What disturbs me. 'the
most is the fact that the recent
publicity would indicate that
the Huron County Federation fe
opposed to the Humane Society
and the humane treatment of
animals. This is. unfortunate be
cause I believe that the changes
proposed by the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture in the
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals Act, would
strengthen the effectiveness of
the Humane Society in order
'to reach more of the borderline
cases Which are now being
overlooked. .
The Federation 'has never
accused any officer of the
Humane Society with abuse of
sick animals or have they any
notion of bringing any charge
against any officer. Our criti
cism is not aimed1 .at the officers
but at the act under which they
Work. Under the present 'art the
society is reluctant, as Mr.
Hughes points out, to trust local
people Who they do not know,
in case they .ailso fail to pro
vide proper came'. I would hope
that our recommendation for
changing the act would pult
more responsibility on local
councils and authorities to se
cure competent people which
the Society would work with.
I do not believe that making
it mandatory for society in
spectors to have training in
animal husbandry is an unrea
sonable goal. Today, fanners
have many type® of government
inspectors calling on them daily,
all of them well trained in
their respective field. This in
spires confidence and co-oper
ation from farmers. I think the
same would be true of Humane
Society. Inspectors and would
also inspire more confidence in

At the present time the
Huron County Federation’s re
solutions and proposals are be
ing studied by the Ontario Fed
eration of Agriculture, who
have qualified people, compe
tent to deal with such problems
and if in their opinion the pro
posals aire based onjnisinfoirma-
tioji, as indicated by, Mr.
Hughes, Huron County Feder
ation Will not receive support. I
would hope that the Ontario
Humane Society would co-oper
ate with the O.F.A. in the study
so that it could be based on the
most accurate •information a-
vailable.
, No farmer gets into the bus
iness of farming for the1 express
purpose of 'neglecting animals,
it just isn’t economical. But due
to old age, mental' or physical
health, financial difficulties, in
ability to cope’ with modern
management techniques or for
other social reasons, farmers
get into a situation where ani
mals are neglected. Neighbours
are usually aware of these situ
ations long before the Humane
Society is called. I feel that
neighbours would act sooner if
they knew the farmer would be
treated as humanely as the ‘ani
mals. I am sure that if all con
cerned co-operate, an improve
ment in the system can be
worked out. •
Yours truly,
C. H. THOMAS, '
President, Huton County
Federation of Agriculture.
