Holds Discussion On Women Working Creates Much Interest Highlights of the April meet- ing of the Business and Prof- essional Women's Club held !n the Balmoral Motel on Thurs- day evening, were a panel di3- cussion on aspects of women working by five members, con- ducted by Apha Hodgins, and a brief talk by Mr. Joe Karuk, new Field Secretary of this district for the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind. Speakîng in the interest of the campaign for funds for Bowmanville-West Durham to carry on work with blind per- sons in this locality, Mr. Karuk told in forceful terms of the leading raie played by Canada In work with the blind. The Bowmanville carnpaign opens April 24 and continues ta May 4, the objectives $4000. Mr. Don Williams, chairman of the local committee, introdue- ed Mr. Karuk. Canada Leads Canada and the C.N.I.B. were chosen by the United Nations ta set up a rehabilitatian cen- tre for the blind in Lebanan, similar ta quarters here in Canada. Canada was chose-i because she has the good-will of the world as well as trained workers, Mr. Karuk saîd. A startling statement was. that of the ten million bliniJ persans in the world, only a tenth receive any service. Can- ada, of course, is in that one tenth. The C.N.I.B. has devel- oped a service pragram whlch extends from the cradle ta the grave. Children and adults receivinmî instruction in Braille and var- Jaus types of wark, are now able ta take their place beside sighz- ed people and become gainfu11v employed. There are homel teachers in Braille in aIl parts of Canada. Mr. Karuk was thanked by Florence Tomlin- son. lVhy Do We Work Taking part in the panel were Helen Crvderman, Vie- toria - Frank, Anna Watson, Edith Laycock, and Vi McFee- ters. The points discussed will also be taken up at the Region- al Conference at Napanee, May 4-5, at which Velma Gay will be a delegate. "WhIy do we work?" was dis- cussed by Helen Cryderman. Two answers were pravided by Miss Cryderman: because we must, and ta provide security for the future. Some social se- curity is now provided bu t sta- tistics show that 60 percent are nat able ta live at more than a subsistence level on retirement. Miss Cryderman felt, how- ever. that even if financial se- curity %vas not a motive, a great many womnen would st-ili work, because it lias become the custom, and because of the interest in the work itself. Doc- tors and psychalogists have shown by case histories that health is often improved byv work in which one is interest- cd. To 'be frustrated in ane's work is detrimental ta health, and the cure is ta change jobs if passible. Miss Cryderman ended with an intcresting query, "What about the poor idie rich" Great Exodus Victoria Frank discussed the question, "Should married wamen work, and why?" The great exodus from homes ta jobs came about during war- time xvhen women were need- ed in munition factories and other jobs left vacant bv men serving in the Farces. Women became accustomed ta the i- dependence af extra money and enjoycd mingling with people sa that adjustment bac-k ta thIe home wvas not easy. Some cori- tinued ta work.

With al the modern appliances, young married women without child- ren can easily manage a job) and housekeepng. Older wani- en whose families are grown, or widows who find time heavy an their hands often go bacic ta wark. As ta the question, should married women work, Mrs. Frank felt that as long as working does not interfere with one's family, it is a benefit tu ail. At What Level "At what level will women work?" was Anna Watson's subject. Mrs. Watson spoke of the great work done voluntar- ily by rmany women. In the realm of paid work, we fini women at almost every level- dactors, lawyers, teachers, psy.- chiatrists, even a judge We have women senatars an d councillors. Women have prav- en able and even outstanding in womld affairs, as Madame Pandit in the UN and Golda Meir, foreign minister of Is- rael Given natural abiiity, an in- terest in the wark and appor- tunity for education, Mrs. Wat- son feit that evemy level o>f wamrk is open ta wamen. Edith Laycock discussed howl much time, energy and maney1 women would put into making! a career. Miss Laycock felt men usually do more toward a car- eer because they are iikely io be hcads of families. Wameri interested in their work will put a great deal into it for th~e love of the work. They are not as aDt ta be, rewarded w'th higher money and advancement as men are. Equal Pay Following this up was Vi McFeeters on whether achievé-- ment and respansibility xvin women equal pay and rewards. B. & P.

'For many years naw," Mm. M, Holinaty quoted the letter as saying, "Jehovah's Witnesses within the Soviet Union have endured great difficultiesaid heavy persecution. They have constituted camimittees and dele- gations from among their own ministers for the purpase of re-1 gistering their eliglous organi- zation according ta the statutos in force, but on each aoccasio), they have been rebuffed and 'n- stead of being allowed ta regr- ter their Christian organizatian they have had ministers in the delegations arrested."

Maybe To-morrow Us Too Lote for Car Check Sponsored by the Canadian fHighway Safety Conference, a 1 "Public awareness" campaign, aimed at ridding the highways of vehicles in dangeraus mccn- anical condition, is ta reccîve national promotion in Canada during May. The drive will operate under the slagan-titI,-, "Check Your Car, Check Ac- cidents".

Their target will be the vehicle, aid or new, which bc- cames a death-deaiing projec- tile the moment it goes into ac- tion. Their aim will be the awner of that vebicie, ta have his car chccked thoroughly and its defeets corected. W. Arch. Bryce, general man- ager of the Canadian Highway Safcty Conference, refers ta th-c phrase "Maybe tamarraw . .. as "one of the mast perilaus a matomist can utter". Mr. Bryce painted ta the biock-long lines of motarists at license issuers' offices late in March. f"Those people," he declared, "said 'maybe tomorow' untfl it was tao late. A driver wh3 says 'maybe tomammaw' about getting a car checked for spring and summer driving may discover, also too late, thati 4maybe tomorraw' his car will have completed its secret mis- sion as a highway projectile with death and destruction iin its wake." Mir. Bryce urged ahl drivers ta remnember that even the most minor defect can cause a ter- rible accident, and ta partici- pate fully in Canada's "Check Your Car, Check Accidents" drive.
