BRAVE BACHELOR SPEAKS OUT Woodstock, Ont., June 19--Reeve 'Aurray, of Tavistock, created an un- 1sual flurry of interest in the County Jouncil Chambers this afternoon when n opposing a grant of $100 to the North and South Oxford U.F.W.Q,, he attacked the women's organizations cf the present day. i "I understand that the U.F.W.O. is nart of a political organization," he sald, "and ifthat is so we would be just as right in giving grants to the Liberal or Conservative organizations. { do not feel disposed to encouragzs these women's organizations. I think they would be better employed if they stayed at home and direcied their households. "Those of us who were brought up in the Township of West Zorra know that the splendid pioneer women there never belonged to any women's organ- izations,because there were none then, and they raised large families of sovus who were a credit to their homes and made the district famous all over Can- ada. The array of professional men who were raised by these pioneer women made Zorra famous far and wide. Some of these women gave as many as five sons to the Christian ministry. If the women today would direct their energ'es in the same chan- nels as these pioneer women did 'they would be doing better work than the; are doing by belonging to so many organizations," J. V.
