harvest always conjure up thoughts of We occasionally wonder who Is responsible for drawing the In and solid white linos which arc drawn along the centre of all of our Ontario highways No doubt an explanation could be secured from the Department of Highways as to who makes the judgments as to how long a solid white line Is to be continued and where or where not It should be And with womanly

much influence on manners morals that we arc Just now shedding the double morality of her age Shed never be accepted by the Women s With another leap lets move up to another Liz Taylor the royalty of this century She is married for the fifth time to a brilliant sexy man She has made millions She has been envied and admired by millions of women Certainly this is a superficial view of women But It does prove that If youve got what it takes you can get where its at To confirm my suspicions I made a rough and hasty survey of female opinion My senior girl students are all for Women liberation but deplore the tactics of the far out wing They do point out the soft spots particularly in industry and business where women meet a stone wall at a certain stage True and something should be done It
