wouldnt be real without a thick slice of pumpkins were produced for Ontarios food industry without mentioning those that wound up as Jack Lanterns in windows proves It Somehow thoughts of autumn and harvest always conjure up thoughts of We occasionally wonder who Is responsible for drawing the In and solid white linos which arc drawn along the centre of all of our Ontario highways No doubt an explanation could be secured from the Department of Highways as to who makes the judgments as to how long a solid white line Is to be continued and where or where not It should be And with womanly logic she chopped off his painted pumpkin pie with some whipped cream on top Photo by the Ontario Department of and Food Sugar and Spice by bill smiley With Thanksgiving in the air perhaps as good a tone as any to give thanks that all our women have not joined the lunatic fringe Womens liberation Movement not knocking the Movement The of those who belong to it and work Jar it are mature intelligent women who believe there is discrimination against vases some areas and want to abolish it I agree with them about the same areas But I want no to with screaming brawaving parodies of women who haunt their ranks than I do with the hard who torn peaceful protest a not not always tins A look at history women who had without ever waring a placard or screaming epithets at policemen Back lo Greek mythology Hera wife of Zeus was a wicked old dowager who repaid hen in spades ever time he strayed from the and narrow Venus and Aphrodite did right for themselves Among mortals Helen of

clutching her asp to her breast which made for a rather sticky end Isabella of Spain overrode the quibbling of her husband and gave that lunatic who thought the world was round Columbus some rotten biscuits and meat some rotten lailbuds and three leaky ships to find the New World Oh yes theyve always been tight with a buck Moving quickly look at the two English queens who had entire eras named after them Elizabeth I and Victoria Liz had most of the male royalty of Europe desperate to marry her and dallied with the lives and loves of such robust chaps as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh The handsome virile Earl of Essex was In lo with her when he was about she In head when he got too big for his britches Victoria was a stick but notions trem bled when she spoke and she had so much influence on manners morals that we arc Just now shedding the double morality of her age Shed never be accepted by the Women s With another leap lets move up to another Liz Taylor the royalty of this century She is married for the fifth time to a brilliant sexy man She has made millions She has been envied and admired by millions of women Certainly this is a superficial view of women But It does prove that If youve got what it takes you can get where its at To confirm my suspicions I made a rough and hasty survey of female opinion My senior girl students are all for Women liberation but deplore the tactics of the far out wing They do point out the soft spots particularly in industry and business where women meet a stone wall at a certain stage True and something should be done It must be a very difficult and responsible task for each vehicle that uses the highway varies In height from the road surface and physical of the driver and the level at which ho soos the road also differs In other words whaf may pear to be a safe passing zone to one person a wheel Is not to another The driver of big transport truck can see down the road many hundreds of yards further for
