4 . Two & Eightâ€"Tenths Women _ for both views of what.a newspaper report can mean 2” 1t is first recorded. 1t is a reasonably safe guess } more readers of the TIMES AND (‘fi(ilm-‘, of 1910 _ were intrigued by the item about "Charlie" than gave _ even a thought to the notice of the ship under conâ€" g-mh ‘ast. Yet each in its own way was a cosâ€" 4 C mm'ymlzgha:ta:tw&nh?mm,- concerned ¢ destiny an | “m is neither more nor less than the It is debatable indeed whether any valid conclusions can be drawn from the variety of reactiongy to an item of that kind. The response of a youngster to reminisâ€" cences of people and events that are more than halfâ€"aâ€" century old is understandabble enough. These things are â€"trivia, not the mizrlll‘tly occurrences which are enshrined in formal history. They are without significance. Even at that very moment, two thousand miles away, it is quite probable that the beginning of a crack was apparent in the ice on the edge of a glacier in Greenland. It would be almost a year before the ice to seaward of the crack would break free of the glacier and be off on its capricious wanderings as an iceberg on the currents of the north Atlantic. It would take two years for these two, the iceberg and the "unsinkable" ship to meet in a fateful rendezâ€" g‘ but then, as anyone who was alive fifty years ago tell you, every event takes time. _ . Bo it would seem that there is something to be said "Charlie"? Did he marry the girl? Did they live happily ever after? Or did "Charlie" say a last goodbye to skatâ€" in{ and girls and everything else at Ypres or Vimy Ridge like so many other Canadians of his generation, far from the lamplit skating rink and the familiar, unâ€" winking stars he walked under with his girl? For example, consider the otherwise anonymous "Charlie", whose abrupt concentration on one girl at the Weston rink, after achieving a reputation for never skating with the same girl twice, so intrigued the editor of this paper in the winter of 1910. How can any conâ€" temporary of "Charlie" communicate to a skeptical youth of today the conjectures, the bittersweet nostalgia that reading such a news item can evoke? What happened to However, tucked away in the newspaper summaries of the $50â€"aâ€"copy Planning Board report was the interâ€" esting statement that there are 102.8 females for every 100 males:in metropolitan Toronto. Disregarding that .8 femaleâ€"which should be as easy in fact as it is in theoryâ€"that surplus pair of girls in every hundred may ‘be the explanation for many of the more puzzling deâ€" velopments in recent times both in Metro and throughâ€" out Canada. At least it is something worth thinking The experts tell us that a radical increase in the intensity of the "rightsâ€"forâ€"women" movement is a charâ€" acteristic development in the early stages of "moreâ€" womenâ€"thanâ€"men" era. Obviously, this preponderance of women in the population must have taken some time to reach present proportions; two generations, or more. And the history of the early years of this century, with agitation for woman suffrage atâ€"its height, would seem to confirm the findings of the experts. in the Victorian and Edwardian eras is based on the Reformation. According to this hypothesis, the aboliâ€" tion of religious orders and the closing of convents reâ€" moved the socially acceptable alternative to matrimony as a career for women. For the next 300 years celibacy was not "the honorable estate of dedicated virginity but the sorry existence of the spinster aunt." The outcome of that state of affairs was the midâ€"nineteenthâ€"century "lady" whose boredom with her lot generated a tremendâ€" ous reserve of enérgy for feminist causes. The woman as a "doer" in the modern sense is not unique to our time. Hypatia was a noted philosopher in the early Christian era. But the cyclic nature of the status of women is suggested in tke change from the talented figures of the Renaissanceâ€"Elizabeth of Engâ€" land, Lady Jane Grey and Margaret Roper who wrote fluently in Latin and Greek and who discussed history and philosophy as well as any of their male contemâ€" poraries and better than mostâ€"to the predominantly "domestic type" females of the late 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. 4 k. s That‘s how the experts see it. But it would be a brave man who risked betting on such a development. And an even braver one to try to debate the issue obâ€" jectively with any woman. In the Planning Board report the most significant prophesy of what life will be like hereabouts in 1980 is the prediction that the ratio of the sexes will just about level off on an evenâ€"stephen basis. There will be no surâ€" plus of females. In which case, if the experts are right, there should be much less dynamic "feminism" apparent in the field of public affairs. _ Comment on the "As We Were" column now appearâ€" ing in the TIMES AND GUIDE has varied widely from the casual "So what?" reaction of several teenagers to the hearty approval of many subscribers who remember what it was like to be alive fifty years ago. : One of the more intriguing theories offered in exâ€" planation of the outburst of agitation for "equal rights" Since the preliminary tumult incidental to the }diticul and economic implications of the recently reâ€" vealed plan for "Metropolitan Toronto In 1980" is likely to get noisier before it begins to make sense, a judicious citizen is inclined to shy away from comment on those particular phases of what the fut)u'e holds for us and the rest of the residents of "this demiâ€"Eden."

The construction of 11 warships at a cost of $11,500,000 with an annual cost for upkeep of $3,000,000 is a good beginning, and the efforts to discredit the government on the ground that Canada should at once contribute the cost of a Dreadnought to the British Navy will fall flat now that the German war scare has blown over. s WESTONâ€"Mr. J.

QUEEN‘S PARK $O0 YEARS AGO IN THE TIMES AND GUIDE January 28, 1910 Weston Educator Calls T.V. A Waste of Time In Schools With that forthright sumâ€" mary, W. C. Goddard, viceâ€" principal _ of â€" King _ Street School, Weston, went on reâ€" cord with his opinien of the program of school telecasts presented by the C.B.C. Running on Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 3.30 o‘clock, the school. telecasts, which began on January 6th, continue through to March 30th. All Boards of Education in the Metropolitan Toronto area are participating in the program. Etobicoke has six sets; five in schools and one in the Board of Education office. North York is using the program throughout all its grade schools. "Infantile! A complete and utter waste of time!" Throughout â€" January _ and February the halfâ€"hour proâ€" gram is divided into two 15â€" minute periods. The first 15 minutes is for pupils in grades 2. and 3. The second half is for those in grades 4, 5 and 6. The _ television _ sets _ are leased for the telecasts.

Choir Leader & Organist, Mrs. G. $wan ® SUNDAY SERVICES *.__ By 1980, according to the crystal ball gazers, four million human beings will live in metropolitan Toronto and its environs, extending from Hamilton to Oshawa and from Lake Ontario to the lower section of Lake Simcoe. . Such a "population explosion", however controlled, has important implications for all future planners, both the exalted gentry with the gigantic calipers and the smaller fry with the regulation compass. First off, there is a revolutionary change in view for the fringe townships. Now predominantly farming communities, parts of them are visualized as industrial areas in 1980, housing the plants required to meet the demand for consumer products. * There are, however, flies in the intment. factors which may alter both the detailed plans and the probâ€" lems out of them. Major obstacles stand in the way of that imiagined future, not the least of which is the scarcity of capital funds. Financing for increased popâ€" ulation and services for industrial areas in municipalities will certainly become harder before it gets easier. Considering the enormity of the task ahead and the human frailty of planners and administrators, even at the Metro level, prayers seem to be in order both for them : and the areas in which they serve. And exactly there, in what superficially seems to be decentralization of industry, is a source of potential trouble. Future industrial sites are ifdicated for the "near side" of the fringe communities; decentralization is merely nominal. What makes for possible grief in the future, as a result of this huddlingâ€" of industries, is more. than an economic consideration. The vulnerability of such areas to missiles is an allâ€"too obvious fact. Even more disturbâ€" ing is the complications such concentration of industry will produce in civil defence plans for population evacâ€" uation in emergency. The more the plan is considered, the more headâ€" aches, present and future, can be prophesied for the planners and the doers of the project. _ _ > â€" f WESTON BAPTIST CHURCH 8.00 p.m.â€"Prayer & Bible Study © The Church is a warm) evangelical family church, affiliated with the Baptist Cfimum‘,of On‘t',, and Quo{oe.
