The first beginning was the February announcement by Prime Minister Pearson of a royal commission on the status of women. Mrs. John Bird was appointed chairman. A writer and broadcaster, Mrs. Bird is known profes- sionally as Anne Francis. Things have been quiet on > that front since, except that in November one of the two ing personal reasons, Donald Gordon of Waterloo Univer- sity pulled out, leaving Jac- ques Henripin of the Univer- sity of Montreal as the only man on the six-member com- mission, More is likely to be heard from the commission in 1968. Deadline for briefs is Feb. 29, A more spectacular begiri- ning was made Oct. 3 in the Commons health committee Author of one proposed bill, Grace MacInnis, NDP mem- started proceedings in an at- tention-getting manner. She told committee members abortion could be a factor in producing a '"'quality popula- proposed bill contained no such suggestion. | REPORT IN NEW YEAR In December the committee presented an interim report recommending that abortions be permitted '"'where a preg- nancy will seriously endanger the life or health of the moth- =; er."' This proposal was incor- porated in a bill, introduced in the Commons, amending the Criminal Code. Another social reform got part way through the process tracting much attention.

State Secretary Judy La- Marsh became the centre of a storm late in the year when she said in a TV interview there is rotten management in the CBC. Despite considerable pressure she declined to turn over to the CBC the facts on which her charge was based. WON'T RUN AGAIN Miss LaMarsh also made news in April when she said she does not intend to run in. the next election. Another familiar political figure, Charlotte Whitton, was in the news. She was forced to resign as Ottawa alderman after launching a civil legal action against the 'tity, a situ- ation that was described by the Ontario Supreme Court as conflict of interest. Miss Whitton ran in a Dec. 16 byelection for the seat and won over three Opponents, then scolded for wasting taxpayer: by preventing her elec acclamation» Less well-known politicians achieved what was probably a first at the municipal level.
