the georgetown herald wednesday evening november 5 th 1941 i timely topics for women by barbara baines r womens place in civilian defence with war knocking none too gently at our back door and maybe our front door too is it not time canadian women were prepar ing themselves in earnest to meei whatever eventualities the fu ture may hold should a shooting ar come to our shores we will share with our men all its horrors and hardiips and any prepara tions we make against that dav may thenvseem all too meagre when bombs are falling if it doesn t those same preparations may 6tand us lh good stead in rebuilding- the world or tomorrow and in any case we shall be so thankful for what we have been spared that we shall not re gret any effort we have made i have heard a number of speakers from britain recently and i have been greatly impressed bv one fact their common admiration for the british women whom they hold up as an example to the woman hood of the world they tell us that it was the women who first demand ed nationwide preparation for defence in event of war that it was large ly due to the supert work of the members of the women s voluntary services that panic was averted when the crisis did come last september and that it is because of the stout hearts of its women that the morale of the british peoole has stood uu as it has since 9 the united states ft recognizing the fact that this is a woman s war as well as a mans and the national committee for defence has outlined a colossal program for the training of women for civilian de fence already 3 000 defence councils are in operation and others are being added at the rate of 500 a month ji women are to drive ambulances harvest crops or man assembly unesthey must be strong and so the first objective is improved health to make america strong by making americans stronger and then to train women for the thousand and one jobs for which they may be needed nutrition courses are being made available to all homenmkers and a defence dlet has been worked out by leading home economists to keep the nation fit but to miss alice marble former worlds tennis champion and now director of national physical training for women has been given the job of getting 50 million american women in topnotch physical shape she savs physical fitness is fun and women who join our pro gram will discover a greater capacity for happj living as well as a greater usefulness she has already worked out a set of 8 exercises that win strengthen the muscles improve posture and prevent fatigue these setting up exercises will be given free to the women of every community groups of a thousand may drill together in armouries in large cities and other groups of a dozen or so will go through their paces with equal en thusiasm in some small town hall miss marble hopes to work chiefly through existing organizations already the women s voluntary services are training instructors who in turn are training leaders of local groups miss marble believes however that physical fitness can be acquired equally well through games and so hopes to organize sports clubs in every comrounitvl sports suitable to everj age group hiking bicycling tennis badnynton skiing bowling roller skating swimming softball basketball tabic tennis and anv other games for which provision mav be found in an emptv hall or vacant lot i would like very much to see a similar program of physical fitness started for canadian women manv middle aged women have become soft with ease orjhroiurh lack or opportunity for group activity their joints creak at unwonted exercise and thej are tired out after a six hour stretch at a canteen or salvage centre many young girls have narrow chests and weak muscles and hai nver known the jos of sports be cause they couldn t afford club fees there are thousands of women in our country whose wellbeing and health would be improved through regular exercise under competent supervision we mid strong workers for our war industries and will need more in the future we need strong workers on our farms strong women for voluntary war services and strong healthy homemakers women everywhere are willing and indeed anxious to do what ever they can for victory but as individuals they are greatly handicapped it is to be hoped though that in the near future some dominion wide organization with government backing will give the intelligent leader ship that is so badly needed in training and directing women to meet the present emergencv t t t women ote in qlebec history was made in quebec when 10 000 women went to the pro vincial polls for the first time in the recent by elections at st johns and huntingdon according to repbrts if the fervour the new born politicians showed as speakers hecklers

under many german women married to jews are taking affidavits that their grown sons and daughters are illegitimate the children of aryan lovers in order to protect them from being persecuted because of their jewish taint this is the story told by dr t u h elllnger a graduate of john hopkins and of harvard who has just returned to the ujsa before the statement of the desperate mother is accepted the person in whose favour it is made must undergo a searching physical and tnental examination by scientists who maintain they can tell a jew any where if he is a person of value to the state his aryan ancestry is more apt to be accepted and indeed sometimes the mother is forced to appear and declare that her child is an aryan such was the case of j germany of 1939 a blond beauty held up as the type from which true nazis should choose their wives and later found to have a jewish father t t t for olr scrap book the world is a looking felass and gives back to every man the reflection of
