But in one of those fascinat ing quirks of history neither Britain nor Argentina have the micr claim to these barren largely nonproductive islands They were first settled by cagoing citizens of St Mala France sent there by Louis XV the mid 18th century IIley were called in Frenchl Ies malouins meaning citi zens of St Malo name which changed to the Spanish las malvinas and hence the present Aregntine name for the contentious islands The final item in todays col umn is that Ies malmxins werent French either but Ca nadians in fact French Aca dians expelled in 1755 from Nova Scotia by the British They did not stay in the Fal klands but lonely and dis illusioned moved on to the South American mainland so you see wc have better claim to the Falklamh than ei ther Britain or Argentina WhL

Jan 23 1376 Just before the Commons rose for its Christmas holidays Stevse Paproski the rotund Con servatiye MP for Edmonton Centre rose in the House and put this question to Prime Min ister Trudeau In view of the fact that there are only 13 days left before the end of Inter national Womens Year will the right honorable gentleman ad vise the House specifically what he has done for the women of this country during the past year The prime minister is seldom lost for words and he seldom misses an opportunity to ex press them But this time he sat in his seat locking somewhat perplexed International Womens Year has now been oatr for nearly month and perhaps it is time to look back on the resultsif there are anyand the harder you look the more you appre ciate Mr Trudeaus difficulty in providing an instant answer suppose he ruld have rc fcrred to the governments bill which implement series of recommendations from the Royal Commission on the Status of women but many of these were relatively minor points such as allowing girls into cadet programs Perhaps he could have men tioned the distribution of 150000 Why Not buttons but it would be difficult for him to judge their effectiveness apart from making holes in lapeIs And in fairness to the govern mcent it never suggested that all equality problems would be solved during oneyear obser vance of women When he kicked off the year the prime minister told Parliament that Intcrnutional Womens Yczvr while being special year must not be regarded as an cud in itself but mus be seen in the context of the governments ongoing program to improve the status of women This work must be and will be continued beyond 1975 until equality exists in fact as well as in law and Canadian women are recognized and accepted as Show Ethi

yet And if as federal officials love to point out International Womens Year made the entire country aware the great c0n tribution by women then diet rewards are mighty slow com ing in However there has been some overall since 1913 when the premier of Manitoba told suffragate Nellie McCiung that he didnt want hyena in petticoats talking poli tics to him In REAL PERSONS And there has even been some additional improvement since 1929 when the Privy Coun cil in London ottlcially declared that women were persons That was darned decent thing to do But despite continued prog ress along with the impact ofu International Womens Year the latest statistics dont look particularly imprusive While women make no 32 per cent of the federal public serv ice only two per cent are clas sified as senior
