I.- KALNIN5 Women's Survival The other day I went to my favorite bookstore on Yonge Street. And guess what I discovered? The New Woman's Survival catalogue, a woman-made book published by Coward, McCann and Geoghegan Berkley Publishing Corporation, New York. As editors were listed Kirsten Pollack and Ruth Bayard- Smith, both well-known feminists. If the memory serves me right, this is the first time a book of this nature has been published, stressing the need for survival. The basic theme of the book appears to be the woman's plight in the male oriented world. Needless to say, according to the editors, a man is still the big bad wolf. He oppresses the poor woman, manhandles her, takes advantage of her charms and is after only one thing. Therefore, to point to their ever growing problems and difficulties with men, the book has come up with some interesting features, including some highly unusual ads. Here are some of the heads I managed to put down on a piece of paper: Feminism Lives! Ain't I A Woman? Watch Out! Some day you may meet a rçal castrating female. Off our backs! With my speculum I am strong. I can fight! A few pages further, the book goes on: Our bodies, ourselves! Are you on the Pill? How to take the worry of being close. Somewhere in the middle of the book, I found a VD chapter which provided me with this interesting observa- tion: The doctor is instructed to mess you over - gyn- ecological exam. What your Dr. should tell you, by Dr. Susan. Along the same lines, The New Woman's Survival Cat- alogue, keeps educating me: Momma at work. Sexism in education. Women unite and resist! How to start a rape crisis centre. I found this all very amusing. I don't know really why. Perhaps, deep down I'm a male chauvinist pig. I just cannot believe that women are so bad off that they have to produce this kind of rubbish. How, tell me, how many men really do hate women? I'm willing to pronounce that most men admire their women. Only the rotten ones are ignored, mistreated or exploited. For a smart woman there is no need to com- plain publicly. Thus, let's forget the New Woman's Survival Catalogue, and carry on as before.

In 1903, silver ore was discovered near Cobalt, followed by gold ore in the Porcupine area. With the inevitable rush of miners and prospectors to these "mining camps," and the subsequent lawlessness, the necessity for a more comprehensive system of law enforcement became desirable, and in consequence, on October 13th, 1909, an Order-in- Council decreed the establishment of a permanent force of salaried police constables to be designated "The Ontario Provincial Police Force." With a complement of 45 men, the Force came into being under Major Joseph Edwin ROGERS as its first Superintendent, who in 1884, had been appointed Ontario's second salaried "Provincial Constables." The starting salary for constables was $400.00 a year, increased to $900.00in 1912. THE GROWING YEARS During the first years, the new constables forged a high standard for a young force. ln' this endeavour they were supported by the Provincial Government which, by several Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of otherstudents, and to try to forestali this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. The counsellor asked the children if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ar- rived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and dis- cussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve ten- sion and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local agencies like home-and-school groups, community and government agen- cies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and re- spect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among ail groups.

One such Act, passed in 1914, made the command- ing officer an exofficio "Provincial Magistrate". The Force was originally divided into two divisions, with headquarters at Niagara Falls in the south, and at Cobalt in the north. Two further divisions were then added in 1910, the central division administered from Sudbury, and a western division with headquarters at Kenora. An inspector was placed in command of each division, with General Headquarters located in the Parlia- ment Buildings at Queen's Park, Toronto. The inspectors and their constables were charged with the investigation of all serious crime. They also supervised the conduct of circuses and travelling shows which entered the province annûally. They enforced the Game and Fisheries Act and performed a major role in implementing the province's much flouted liquor laws, laid down by the Ontario Temperance Act. Superintendent ROGERS was given personal charge of cases falling within the provisions of the "Extradition Treaty" and the "Fugitive Offenders Act." He was also a "Provincial Coroner". Such then, was the constitution and jurisdiction of Ontario's Provincial Police Force during its initial ten years. Continued next week. letters to the editor box 206, whitby
