of remarks he made In a speech to the Burlington Chamber of Commerce concerning the teg Ions interest In industrial land banking Oakville Coun Terry Man- nell charged last Wednesday that Mr conduct const Jamboree visits are rewards for crossing guards RUSTY ROLLERS The Ion winter seems to have made Vlkki lirannan and Susan Glray a little rusty at roller skating At least they seem to be having some staying on their feet and without the assistance of this friendly parking meter they would be prone on the pavement If they were of a mind to try again this week theyd probably need snow tires Students working as safety patrollcrs at public and middle schools in Halton Hilts will have the opportunity to be chosen for a day trip to Toron to and for the National Jamb oree in Ottawa as a reward for their work in ensuring other children get to and from school safely Halton Regional Police Safe ty Officer Raj told The Herald students will be selected by schools and names drawn to chose those who will be going on a trip to Toronto April trip will include a tour at headq uarters In Toronto a tour of the Royal Ontario Museum a trip up the Tower and dinner at Mothers Pizzeria and Spaghetti House The big however Coos- table Swamlnathln said is the national safety pa troll jamboree in Ottawa which will be held May and The trip for the safety patroUera will be sponsored by the Regional Safety Council and the Auto Club Ron Smith director of safety and public relations for the Hamilton Club will be organizing the students from Halton ENSURE SAFETY About students from Hal ton will be attending the Jamboree with the only a lion being that the students have not attended one This is to ensure that every student has an equal chance to attend A student from each school with a safety pa Hollers program is selected by the principal or the safety patrollera staff advisor In Ottawa the students will be going on various tours and will visit the GovernorGene rals residence to

enrolled in existing pro grams The job Is not a dangerous one and its a challenge for the child If the child is allowed to do it Constable Swamlnat said The children are well trained In what Is expect of a safety he Most parents are aware that the student during the time he or she is performing their duties Is not to leave the curb at any time Constable Swaminathin said The safety patrollers diff from an adult crossing guards responsibilities in that a safety pa rollers job Is to hold the children at the curb until the road Is clear rather than stopping traffic and esco rting them across i i VIEWPOINT Iranian woman columnist is correct Iranian columnist Minou Moshlris writing in the Engl ish language daily The Teher an Journal made some Intcrcs ting comments and observat ions regarding our Western civilizations ideas of liberat ion She directed her remarks to Western feminists and Kate Millet in particular now In Tehran The following are some of her comments Your so called liberation has only given you the freedom to be dreadfully alone to be alcoholic tobedrugaddlctsto be promiscuous to be over and finally to be most terribly frustrated and Your movements Ms Millet is doing more harm than good it is reaching for the absurd and Is quite frankly becoming Increasingly diffic ult to take at alt seriously without a genuine feeling of embarrassment Our women are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves Thank you 1 I can only agree with Minou Moshlris statements It is rather ironic that with so much dissension at home that is Is have taken to going abroad One should always sweep clean their own house before trying to clean a neigh The liberation movement if you can call it that made Its first mistake when in order to rise above the negative aspect they saw in a male dominated society chose to step upon the male ego In order to elevate their own position You can never achieve sue cess in anything if you have to walk all over something or someone else In order to get It Liberation stands for free dom and true freedom never cornea without responsibility Throwing personal to the wind and assuming responsibilities that were not yours in the first place Is not where its at Denouncing mot herhood and femininity has only served to confuse and Isolate many women The res has been a marked Increase In drug abuse and alcoholism In order not to be abused by anything or anyone it is always a twoparty system No one can make you feel less than you ore unless you accept their opinion as truth POPULATION Feminists upon discovering that roses smell better than cabbage assured a doubting female population that they would indeed make belter soup The echo of liberation that came back is akin to Spocks permissiveness In the final analysis more deadly than what It was supposed to overcome Where la a womans place Wherever she chooses to make it The key word however is choice f a woman chooses the combined roles of wife and motherhood her place is home with her children If a woman chooses a business career her place is wherever she chooses to climb on the corporate ladder Female executives have ne ver considered themselves lib- crated In their climb to success liberation was not a consideration Long hours and hard work put female execut ives where they are Opportun ities are not sitting waiting there for you you have to go out and moke them NO EASY WAY There Is no easy way and equality alone will never do It for you To denounce her own femininity Is the greatest mis take a woman can make She is not a man nor does she have to emulate him In order to say something of consequence To get back to the columnists in Tehran I agree whole with her that West cm feminists nave no place directing Iranian women What Is good for one culture is definitely not good for another Could females from any other culture come here and direct your way of life I think not only Western stupidity Is so convinced of its own that it blindly assumes that its right for everyone else Considering what has happ ened to family life here In Wcslern civilization and the abuses that have followed I feel we should definitely stay home and work on our own situation We have become a very materialistic society where monetary pursuits arc the end all be all we can consider that Ideas on liberation can be well dressed foolished ideas just as today there are many well dressed fools When words fail Flowers express your sympathy And we can help Stop by or Flower are b as a memory B2 Mill Hllli mm HEY EVERYONE Come in for our delicious I available
