"I believe we must continue continue to work together to show that efforts to improve the status of women really are just an extension of the human rights movement -- a belief in the right of all our citizens to basic justice, security, and equality of opportunity," opportunity," said Sally Baynes. She was speaking to a meeting of the Progressive Conservative Women's Association Association held at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions Centre last Wednesday, April 4. "I feel very strongly about the need to broaden support support for and interest in the so-called women's issues -- toisay that we must not only welcome debate on these complex and controversial issues; we must encourage it," she added. To set the stage, the guest speaker reminded her audience audience that women make up close to 44 per cent of the- Ontario workforce. "It is re- next 10 years, two out of every three new entrance to the workforce will be women." She pointed to evidence that more women of childbearing childbearing years are employed. employed. Seventy-two percent of women in Ontario between 25 and 44 years of age are working outside the home.

In Ontario universities, close to half the graduating classes in schools of medicine and law are women. But Ms. Barnes added that this does not mean, the battle towards equality for women in the workforce has been won.

She also called for improved improved working conditions at Canadian banks where 72 per cent of all employees are female. And she said improved daycare is a necessity because of the number of working mothers. "I believe it is morally and politically wrong to' hold back on child care. While we have to devise methods to make it possible .for women to stay home with their children, we must also help provide child care for those who need it," said Ms. Barnes. "I see it as an exciting challenge challenge for governments, unions, school boards and the business community."

Congratulations are extended extended to the Burns family of Janetville on the renovation renovation and re-opening of their general store -- the Janetville Janetville Food Town on Thursday Thursday of this week. In keeping with their desire to modernize modernize their facilities and expand expand their product lines to provide a one-stop shopping shopping centre, they have expanded expanded their store size by four times to cater to their growing business. The Burns family has served the area for more than 100 years, first with a lumber and grist mill and later a grocery business. Unique to most family traditions the Burns tradition is that each generation has interchanged interchanged their names, e.g. one family was named Robert John Burns and the next John Robert Burns for at least six generations. Currently, Dorothy and John Burns are operating the store with their son Robert John Burns. Robert's son John is sitting in the wings and if history repeats itself, could be the sixth generation to operate the business. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Page attendéd the O.M.I.A.
