Sure, Halloween is great fun. Sometimes it's so much fun that kids forget about getting hurt, until they do. It's so natural for a young child to dash across the street without looking for cars coming, if he's excited and thinking about the loot ahead. What can a parent do? The Ontario Safety League suggests several things. Have a child use a make-up face instead of a mask, which makes vision difficult. Dress him in a costume motorists are likely to see. Fluorescent tape as trim makes a big difference to the visibility of a dark costume. See that costumes are easy to move and walk in -- not high heels and tight skirts for little girls pretending to be big ones, or dresses or cloaks long enough to trip on. And most important, remind him about the traffic before he goes out. Stress looking both ways before crossing, and the fact that he may be hard for drivers to see. Leave your porch light on so young visitors won't tumble. And drivers, drive a lot more cautiously on Halloween night than you normally would. There's always a chance that some small ghost may forget to be careful, and then his chance depends on you. The Life Saved Could Be Your Own Of all charitable organizations one can favour with one's support none is so spectacular as the Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. This is undoubtedly due to the very personal aspect of giving what is one's very own in the physical sense of the word. The life-sustaining liquid that flows in our arteries and veins in healthy abundance and of which we are seldom aware unless it be occasionally spilled, can so easily be turned into life-saving substance when trans- ferred to a Red Cross bottle. And being none the wor for it, the donor goes his or her way with a sense of satisfaction unmatched by any other charitable deed. The only effort required to take part in this unique way of showing charity is to transfer oneself to the nearest blood-clinic at the appointed time. It seems a small effort to ask. As no more direct way of helping one another can be imagined than giving of one's own blood to save the other human being it is only appropriate that the collec- tion of the precious stuff be in the hands of the Red Cross, an organization which is a symbol of helping around the world; an ever présent reminder that we are our brother's keeper in a society where that is so easily forgotten. Let us not forget this month's BLOOD DONOR CLINIC: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9th 2.30 - 5.00 and 6.30 - 9.00 p.m. United Church basement, Uxbridge. Port Perry residents are please asked to do their part. COMMENTS ON EMPLOYMENT Unemployment may be known only to politicians. The Markham Economist and Sun quotes the local public relations director for the national employment service as saying that in Scarborough Township there are five jobs for each applicant and even more jobs in the case of women. Joe Morris, executive vice-president of the Canadian Labor Congress, is quoted as saying in Vancouver that the day is coming soon when a man will be paid for not working. This probably is no more absurd than laws governing the production of agricultural products which have resulted in US farmers' being paid for not growing - crops. T. C. Douglas says that automation is throwing more and more people out of work and that the economy of. Canada is not growing fast enough to accommodate the unemployment and the younger workers coming on the labor market. Help - wanted advertisements are taking up a lot of space in the newspapers, but it must be ad- mitted that many of them are for eople with consider- able degrees of skill. «rr "331 Tasty | Sf RE ~~ SEE SV IANS a La LER XS NY 4 oi } RTA x JY t x 5 Port Perry Star Co.

FIFTY YEARS AGO October 28th, 1914 PORT PERRY--Six of the boys in this district left on Tuesday for Oshawa, where the Ontario County volunteers are mobilizing for the 2nd Comtin- gent. The group was made up of Basil Mills; W. J. Eagling; Bert W. Middleton; Edward Harvey; Earl Beadle & William Andrews. A good delegation of the citizens went down to the train to see the boys off. Many of us have obligations which bind us to home, but we appre- ciate the courage and spirit which leads a man to enlist for the defence of his country. Lt. A.

Some of my best friends are women, I like women, gen- erally, because they are compassionate, courageous, and smell nice. Some are good lookers. Others are good cookers. have a great fund of common sense. For these very reasons, I have refused to stand by and let that fine creature, the housewife, be led, or misled, into a morass of frustration and unhappiness by a few frustrated, unhappy female agitators. For years, I have been fighting a battle. It has been made up of skirmishes in speeches, fullscale attacks in this columm, and occasional hand-to-hand combat with my old lady. On some occasions, I have been routed, my banners tat- tered, my forces in disarray. But my ideals have remained in- tact, my cause untarnished. Once in a while, I've won a minor encounter. At a party, for instance, when a housewife has flung a drink in my face and rushed off to the bathroom in a confusion of rage and tears. I don't regret a minute of the long campaign. The only thing that has depressed me has been the intense loneliness. Time and again I have felt like a lost patrol, cut off from all reinforcements, betrayed by allies. But my heart leaped in my breast with new hope the other day, when I read an article in Maclean's magazine. For the first time in a decade or more, I felt that my cause, "Equality for Husbands", had an outside chance of winning. Title of the article was, "Marriage is Easy Street (For Women)". Written by Sidney Katz, it was a sober, factual refutation of that base, insidious and increasing whine of the times -- that a housewife is "bored, trapped, a slave to her family, and unfulfilled as a human being." Mr. Katz quotes sociologist, psychologist and anthropoligist to prove what I have been saying for years: that it is just the opposite, that it is the male creature in marriage who it rapped, who is the slave to his family, and who, yey often, is bored silly with the whole business. I have mo need to quote any kind of an "ologist". have to do is look around me. There's the former terror of the tank corps. A tiger in action, his name was a by-word among the troops, a symbol of dash and elan, There's not much left of his former fiendish skill as he steers his shopping cart submissively about the supermarket. His wife is busy Friday nights with her little theatre group. There's the former bomber pilot. For three years, he held within his clever and capable hands six thousand horsepower. six tons of bombs, and the lives of six men. I wonder if he feels "fulfilled as a human being" as he drops another quarter in the coin wash. But it's Saturday night and his wife likes to watch the movie on TV. (Continued on Page 138) Most All 1
