14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Decomber 21, 1966 ANN LANDERS Childhood Fears Carry Over Into Adult Life Dear Ann Landers; I wonder how many parents are making the same mistake my parents made many years ago, When I was a small lad, the doctor said dad had heart trouble. We kids were told that dad might drop dead any minute, Whenever he got a gain in his chest or his stomach we were sure he was dying. We were scared out of our wits when dad went to bed not feeling well. We would stay up half the night listening at the door to make sure he was still breathing. When I was 17 I began to have hear-pounding spells. I was sure I had inherited dad's heart trouble. The doctor said I was OK but I didn't believe him, I went from doctor to doc- tor but nobody could find any- thing wrong with my heart. I puspected they were lying. Today I am 55 years old. I have raised a family but I have never been happy because all my life I have been worried Octogenarian a Teaches Ist Grade In New York NEW YORK (AP)--One win- ter day 60 years ago, a young school teacher began her first regular teaching assignment in a New York City elementary school, She was 20 and unmar- ried.

Mrs. Kearns was born in Ca- lais, Me., Dec. 6, 1885, but her family moved to New York when she was three years old. She married Thomas Kearns in 1916 and took five years off from teaching to raise a family. She has five children, including twins, all of whom are married. She has 20 grandchildren.

L, O'REILLY Crusading Women Take Over- Upset 1966 Canadian Status Quo By JEAN SHARP CP Women's Editor Two of the most absorbing news stories of 1966 in Canada began with stubborn women working to upset the status uo, , One is the snowballing con- sumer revolt against rising food prices, The other is the Supreme Court of Canada review of the 1959 murder conviction of Steven Truscott, : Isabel LeBourdais' book, The Trial of Steven Truscott, appeared in March, An imme- diate best-seller, it prompted demands for a reopening of the case, In April the federal govern- ment asked the court to make an unprecedented review, hearing new witnesses, The hearings began in Octo- ber and included the dramatic first-time testimony of Steven Truscott, now 21, who denied he had raped and slain Lynne Harper in a woodlot near Clinton, Ont., seven years be- fore, Final arguments are sched- uled for late January, after which the court will decide whether Truscott was prop- erly convicted, should have a new trial or be acquitted. The consumer revolt began near the end of September at about the time the Senate- Commons committee on prices started. It continues despite some doubts about its effectiveness. | CO-OP OPENED Groups organized to boycott them into lowering prices have sprung up under such banners as the Calgary Con- sumers Food Protest Commit- tee, the Toronto Women Against Soaring Prices and the Regina Food Suffragettes, In Montreal the Organiza- tion of Freedom Fighters opened a co-operative store in November, Mrs. J. L. O'Reilly of Tor- onto dramatized her protest by buying a turnip for $1.20 and sending it to Prime Minis- ter Pearson. She later said the price of turnips at her local store had dropped. Among those who doubt the lasting value of boycotts is Mrs. John O'Brien of St. John's, Nfld. She began as a boycotter but when Premier Smallwood said he would set up a provincial commission on prices she agreed to sit on it and drop the boycott. The Prairie provinces set up a joint commission on prices in December with two women MARTINE VAN HAMEL on it-Mary Batten of Saska- toon, the chairman, and Dr. Shirley Weber of Winnipeg. A prominent boycott leader, Mrs, Lawrence Wilson of Manotick, Ont., called a De- cember meeting of consumer group leaders. Twenty - two delegates representing 50 groups formed the Canadian Consumers' Protest Associa- tion to organize boycotts against products on a national basis. They started with breakfast cereals, NOVELIST WINS PRIZE Several women brought ar- tistic honors to Canada dur- ing 1966, although the coun- |. try's hold on the women them- selves seems anything but se- cure. Marie - Claire Biais, for- merly of Quebec City and now living in Wellfleet, Mass., was awarded the Prix Medicis in Paris for ier novel about a poor French-Canadian family, Une Saison dans la Vie d'Em- manuel (A Season in the Life of Emmanuel). Ballerina Martine van Hamel won the first prize for dancers under 21 and a City of Varna scroll for the best artistic interpretation in any group at the third interna- tional ballet festival in Varna, Bulgaria, Miss van Hamel, a dancer with the National Bal- let of Canada, !s a daughter of the Dutch consul-general in Toronto, Beryl Fox, formerly a CBC director and now working in the United States, won a va- riety of awards for The Mills of the Gods, an hour - long documentary filmed in Viet- nam in 1965, One was a New York award as the Western world's best TV documentary. One prominent woman who came back to Canada was Dr. Jean Sutherland Boggs who returned from California to " MRS, LAWRENCE WILSON ; en's groups become the first woman di- rector of the National Gallery in Ottawa. CHURCH ADMITS WOMEN Those who seek a greater role for women in church. af- fairs got a boost in June when the Presbyterian General As- sembly voted to allow them to become elders and ministers, Almost immediately, Mrs, Norman McInnin was elected an elder in Arthur, Ont,, but by the end of the year no woman had been ordained, There were gains in the po- litical arena, The Women's Liberal Federation persuaded the party to put two women vice - presidents on the na- tional executive in October, Charlotte Whitton, 70, a for- mer Ottawa mayor, made a comeback when she was Ty i zg . president Canadian Federation of versity Women, asked for the backing of 35 national wom- to form the Com- mittee for Equality of Women in Canada, in Canada, THREE ENTER CABINET Representatives of the com- mittee presented a brief to the federal government in No- vember. asking a royal com- mission on the status of women in Canada but by the year's end nothing had been done about it. The Senate lost one Of its five women during the year as Marianna Jodoin of Mont- real retired. The 84-year-old Mrs. Jodoin: had been a pointed the first French- speaking woman senator in 1053, The only gains in provincial politics during the year were in British Columbia where four women wre elected compared with one in the pre- vious legislature, Social Cred- iters Grace McCarthy, Pat Jordan and Isabel Dawson were named ministers without portfolia, Eileen Bailly of NDP sat in opposition.
