I!HURSDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1947 The Case of The Marfled Womau Sometime ago I wrote an art!-1 eRie: Should Married Women ',Wr?. There la a sharp division of opinion on this question. I had 4iany replies. The first camei frma bachelor, a good fellow, but a bachelor! He neyer liked mnarried women, bachelors seidomn do-maybe that is the reason why ho la stiUl a bachelor. He4s quite loiteful in the way he puts the cç8e but I, flot being a bachelor, iO .thlngs differenty-read firat what my good friend says: . '«I became definitely opposed ta hax'lng married wamen on my staff because married women Whose husbands are empioyed are top darned independent and un- rèliabie.* Just when you think Mrs.« Sténo la becoming valuable she tlows up and quits, or has a r!Jw with her husband and goes home ta, continue it. The single il, on the other hand, still has hér drearna ai Prince Charming. 'that puts zing and zip inta the way she trips in ai a morning and in, the way she bangs hell out af the,-aid machine." From Toronto the Good Tomen n the city ai Toronto ,èae a iilar conclusion but bydifferent road. This is the Way one man stated it: !If married women generally Are ta hold positions, wha wiil look af ter the homes and raise the families?" *The other writes: "1I, believe that the home is the place for a married woman if ber huLsband hoids a job, even if she isunable ta buy ail the accessories ohé has become accustomed ta these last few years. The hom e is the Nation's basic unit which. should be maintained, and with a woman in lt-lot away on an- other job." These are ipteresting points of view. They were sound in the past but today the foundations are slipping. We must build new ones, the old are not heavy enough for the traffic. 1 think the next few paragraphs raise a problem-how are these people, under present conditions to raise a family unless bath work?- I can't see my way through this one! From the United States This item is from the "Miami Herald". It examines the ques- tion from quite a different angle, the facts will be surprising to. ma- ny, they surprised me: "Bath husband and wife are working in almost 18 per cent of ail normal families in the United States. "This report, from the Federal Bureau of the Census, helps to explain the increased demand for small houses and a p a rt me nt s where working couples can make a home with a minimum of house- tkeeping." "The 5,070,000 families in which bath husband and wife hold jobs also constitute a large market for 1easy-to-prepare f o o d s, pressure acookers, automnatic dishwashers and other devices for simplifying housework." Here is the nub, perhaps the real nub of the whole quéstion: What happens à these 5,000,000 homes in which Mere are 10,000,- 000 workers, if the number is cut MORE MONEY! IF YOU HAVE GOOD heavy, welI-fall ed chickens.. or ca- pons, send ihem Io !PICKERING FARNqS al WHfITDYI ONT. and you will have more moneyto lake'home WE SELL, DIRECT TO THE CONSUMER AND CA* AFFORD TO PAY YOU A HIGRER PRICE FOR YOUR GOOD CHICI<- ENS AND CAPONS. GET OUR PuICES FIRST! PICKERING FAIMS LINITED Whitb3Y 336 - Night or a WHITBY - m ONTARIO 1' v ta 5,000,000? Ah, yes, but wouldn!t others take their place? There is practically no unem- ployment in the United States right now, very positiveiy flot 5,000,000. The result must be a re- duction in the national incarne if these married wamen quit. That would be castly, it would *pu others out of wark and what would happen ta the standard ai, living in these 5,000,000 homes? A Politiolan Speaka Here is a neutýal point af view.~ It cames from Helen Gahagan Douglas, member, fromn Califarnia ai the American House ai Repre- sentatives. It appeared in "The American Magazine". "Basically the making af a home is a partnership, and neither partner need be disquallfied for outside activities which are re- warding and satisiying. I know wamen who function better, bath as wives and as mothers, because they are leading active, stimu- lating lives in the business or pro- fesianal world. Their husbands, oddly enough, find them more in- teresting campanions than they would wives who did nothing but play bridge and go ta beauty par- lors."1 From an ex - Civil Servant oi Ottawa. "I am a married woman mysei and warking. If the freedom ai one sex is restricted for the bene- fit ai the other, the reasons should be clear, definite, explicit. What are they? "Cauldn't women be leit to act upon their own judgment, in con- sultation with their husbands ai course, in a matter such as this where they are bath vitaily in- terested? "I started ta work during the war when we were urged ta work, I have a campetent housekeeper who looks aiter my children and family, they are certainly nat ne- glected. Taxes have risen sa has the cost ai living. I have ta con- sider the educatian of rny chil- dren. "If aur gavernment cannot pro- vide for the husband a level af earnings sufficient ta raise a fam- ily on the basis ai decent earnings and a modemn standard ai living then why should it abject ta my attempts ta do so?" My Own Conclusions Here is mny personal point ai view. The cost ai living has gane up, the worid is hungry for com- modities of every kind. Sa long as this condition continues men and wamen will go their own way, get married, even if bath have ta work afterwards. In this, as in other things, the decision will be made by the great ailent ecanomic factors which fa- shion the lives ai men and women. Perhaps, in the end, it is better that it shauld. happen this way. Besides I cannat help believing that the more real workers there are in the world the sooner it will become a better world. Trinity FaIl Fair Another Great Success Ail streets led ta Trlnity Schaol Roam on Tuesday, Oct. 14, it being the date ai their Annual Fll Fair and Bazaar. Rev. J. E. Griffith opened the afiair by annauncing a hymn and off ering prayer. The *ool Roam was suitably dcc- orated. To tbe rigjit anc saw the Country Produce. graup featur- ing bright red Mcntosh Apples, carrats, citrons, potataca, etc., as well as an abundance of branze mnuma.

If the pre- sent high cost-oi-iiving is making you cut dawn here and there in the food budget, you ahould firat make sure that your family is get- ting the most ai what you buy. The most valuable food is muRk. It is a perfect food with the ex- ception ai its lack afi ran content and Vitamin C. Take for example the impor- tant element ai calcium-a miner- ai that is part and parcel ai every- one's bones and teeth and blaod. Judged on the basis ai price alone, milk is a cheap calcium food. One quart or 2½/ pounda coats 16 cents, whereas ta get the same amount ai calcium out af eggs at 44 cents a dazen you wauld need 20 eggs for which the coat would be 70c- and that's a lot ai eggs ta cat in anc day! E%4n salman at 23 cents a pound is more expenaive in food value since the amournt would have ta be almast doubled ta yieid the calcium in anc pound ai milk. Thus miik is a sensa- tionai bargain and it's a cinch for anyone ta enjoy twa giassea (or 1 pound) ai milk daily.

BLUE PLAID "The term 'blue plaid' describes the Blue Jay's plumage better than than any round-about ex- pianatian," Beth declared. "It doca indeed," afiirmed Lau- ise. "Althaugh the back is an ev- en, bright blue, and the under- parts grey and white,, the beauti- fui tail and wings have white de- carations, and narrow black strip- es go acroas the feathera. The result gives an impression ai plaid. What a very stunning bird it is, with its striking black cailar, perky blue cre5t and bold de- meanar!" «A Blue Jay la intelligent and provident," Beth went on. "In the autumn it gathers mare nuts than it needs at the time and stores them away for the winter." ,, But," said Louise, "that doesn't prove anything. Doca it reaily use them afterwards?" Beth was stumped. She didn't know. However, a Jay eats nuts ai ail sorts, with acorna prefer- rcd, insecta, suet (if you are thoughtiui enough ta 'put some out for it in caid weathem), and, unfortunately, eggs and yaung birds in season: aitagether a moat varied diet. At nesting time, sang birds are very frequently rabbed ai their children by this naisy, shawy thief. Few ai them can put up any fight againat an I11% inch Jay, even though a consider- able amount ai that iength is taken up by tail, the centre feath- ers ai which extend beyond the rest. Its awn nest la made ai twigs and sticks, iirmly fastened togeth- em, and with no sait iining at ail. The site la generaliy an evergreen. At this time ai year, Blue Jays congregate in iiocks, and are very naisy, yeliing at anc another from eariy morning. The main cails are "Jay" or "Jay, Jay," and a three syilabled word that sounda like "Geruiiup." But they have many other notes, some clear and ringing, though usualiy their vaices are loud and harsh. They are great mimica, capying the squeak ai the rusty hinge on a barn door and the Thursh's sait tones. When frightened, their shriek la ear-piercing. Blue Jslys do not migrate ta any extent. Those that apend the summer far north move down for the winter. Nevertheless, thase that breed in southemn Canada seem ta remain here in the coid weather, wherever they can find evergrcens for sheiter and pienty ai food.
