Gar- e her Idren » ma- 'dest id of way vhich talk I BECOME FAMILIAR WITH WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD SPIKE By MARY WILLIAMS Oshawa Times Staff "You might know -- it's a woman driver!" How many times has the av- erage person heard this remark made at the slightest mistake a woman makes when in con- trol of a car? The term "'woman driver" 4 has become an insult. Why? + Men make the same mistakes as women do, only more of them. And who taught women to drive in the first place? The first woman driver in Canada was Mrs. John Moo- die of Hamilton, as her hus- band purchased the first com- mercially sold, gasoline power- ed vehicle in Canada in 1898. In 1907, there were only 27 known women car owners. There might have been more drivers but they were not known because no record was kept un- til 1927 when driver's licenses were required by law. it was a man's world, mech- anically, until after the Second World War, when cars were more reliable -- the movement Women Drivers Must Help Themselves To Turn Insulting Designation Into Complimentary One Pee & HEELS CATCH ON FLOOR MAT you knew how to change it your-| The examinations are not to : do it for you. lor to cancel anyone's licence |. egotistical crust but glad | i jhis help -- she handed him be better drivers. jthe wrench and the tire was wayor FAULTS self.

Rarely do they become involv- ed in heavy traffic encountered by the more experienced male drivers, MALE CRITICISM Men are more mechanically minded and nothing draws men's criticism of women driv- ers faster than a woman's ap- parent inability to cope with an emergency situation such as changing a flat tire -- a stalled motor -- or any one of the many situations that might arise when driving in heavy traffic. As an illustration -- about a year ago, when this writer was pulling out of the parking lot one afternoon on her way home -- to her dismay, she had a flat tire. Driving off Bond around the corner onto Mary, she pulled up at the curb, turned her front wheels into it, pulled on the emergency brake and got out, Walking to the rear to open the trunk, it was most evident that the right rear tire was very flat. Opening the trunk, she rem- Doctor Describes Medical Survey On Easter Island The guest speaker at the meeting of the University Wo- men's Club of Oshawa and District was Dr. Helen Reid, a Toronto pediatrician and au- thor of the book "A World Away," written after her re- turn from Easter Island. The open meeting at Adelaide House was well attended by members and their friends, eager to hear of Dr. Reid's experiences on the remote is- land of the South Pacific. It was in 1965, International biological Year, that Dr. Reid visited Easter Island as one of the two women members of a Canadian medical team. The theme of the International Bio- logical Year was Human Ad- aptability, and the Canadian ex- pedition wanted to study the in- habitants of Eastér Island, their resistance to disease and what germs were already present on the island. The Pascuems, as the islanders are known, pro- vided a unique opportunity for such a study, because the 950 inhabitants are all descended from the 111 people left in 1888 after an outbreak of smallpox. Negotiations are currently be- ing held between Chile and Air France for an international air- port on the island, which is a Chilean possession. If this air- port becomes a reality, the Pa- scuens will be faced with all kinds of new diseases. Now that ' the Canadian expedition has es- tablished a baseline, further studies can be conducted in later years to determine how the Pascuens have adapted to the changes. Dr. Reid illustrated her talk with many slides she had tak- en during her months on the island. She showed views of the landscape, including one of the islands from the ship, its out- line resembling the giant sta- tues for which the island is famous. The island is only 64 square miles of grass and ex- tinct volcanoes, There is no na- tural vegetation; all the trees and plants have been imported. Chile operates the island as a giant sheep farm. There were naturally many slides depicting the people, par- ticularly the children, in whom Dr. Reid has a special interest. Anthropologists have debated the ancestry of the Pascuens, but it would seem that they are of Polynesian and Indian descent. Dr. Reid's address was well received by the audience an left many eager to read her book and find out more about the Canadian Medical Expedi- tion to Easter Island. children oved the spare, the jack, the PLAN FOR CHILDREN tire iron and wrench and pro- BOURNEMOUTH, England|ceeded to jack up the rear end.
