---- n", ing ral ice ite x rep Status Commission Member THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 6, 1967 17 Has Ideal Background For Job By ROSEMARY SPEIRS MONTREAL (CP) -- How does a married man with three daughters feel on being picked to listen to a country- ful of women's complaints? For Jacques Henripin, one of two male commissioners on the federal government's in- quiry inte the status of women in Canada, his ap- pointment is both bemusing and fascinating. "T can't think why I was chosen," he said in an inter- view in his book-lined Univer- sity of Montreal office. "Tm not even sure men are necessary on a women's commiseion. Unless, of course, our findings turn out to be so damaging to male pride that it seems best a man should present them." But as head of his univer- sity's department of demo- graphy, Prof. Henripin has a long - time fascination with topics he feels will be of prime importance to the com- mission--among them Can- ada's birth, death, marriage and divorce rates. And on such matters, his six fellow commissioners may find the bilingual, 40-year-old Montrealer startlingly open- minded. The father of 13-year-old twin girls and a daughter aged eight, he has a wife busy finishing her master's degree in sociology who, he says, "taught me not to be stuffy about women." WOULD EASE DIVORCE The result of the teaching is a man ready to suggest his own sex must make sacrifices for the sake of greater free- dom for women, and a Ro- man Catholic who believes in relaxed divorce and birth- control laws. "Society has been organized for males. Woman's main problem today is that she wants to adopt new roles--to study or hold an important job--but within our present structure that is almost im- possible for a mother with children. "Personally I think men are going to have to learn to be more generous." Announced Feb. 3 by Prime Minister Pearson, the royal PROF. JACQUES HENRIPIN commission, headed by Ot- tawa journalist Anne Francis, has a wide mandate to investi- gate and report on any gov- ernment measures which could help ensure female professor set up himself three years ago after taking his doctoral degree in economics in Paris and spending years as professor of economics and statistics at the University of Montreal. "Demographers are sup- posed to be social scientists who simply take measure- ments of human phenomena but I'm too curious to leave it at that," he says with a grin. "I find myself wanting to know the causes of things like falling birth rates or rising divorce rates and that leads me into all sorts of human complications." One complication that has been an abiding concern for him {s social structures that prevent the very people who need birth control most from having easy access to it. "We've too many unmar- ried mothers and too many families with several children and small incomes. These are going to be main problems before the commission." If they are, Prof. Henripin, with his liberal attitudes and special training in compre- hending social problems, may be uniquely equipped to study them. equality in all aspects of Ca- nadian society. Besides Miss Francis, Mrs. John Bird in private life, it is made up of two more married women, two unmarried women and two men--Prof. Henripin and Donald Gordon, a political science professor at the University of Waterloo. Prof. Henripin, a native of Lachine, Que., is perhaps overly modest when he says he does not know why he was asked to join this group.
