female homebuying rate almost equals the mens The change in part has been brought on by new federal fair lending regulations and an overall liberalization in the homelending industry FEMINISTS ACTIVE

Crocker National Bank vicepresident said the 1970s have witnessed an evolution of awareness In the early 19605 single people rarely bought houses perhaps because it implied liv ing in suburbia with station wagon said Dettinger You didnt lend money to individ ufils not just women specific II Another factor that has at tracted more single women to home ownership is the increas ing popularity of

among lenders One federal housing loan rule now rescinded directed that when married couple ap plied for loan only art of the womans income cou be coun ted making her sort of half person in the endeavor Lenders used this percentage rule too and Ms Scott said little grimly remember the good old days when woman to count her income had to get letter from her doctor saying she was not pregnant and was on birth control That general attitude carried over to single women David Brooks Crocker National Bank senior vicepresident said The philosophy of that time was that young woman would usually go through so cial pattern get job then get married have children and she wouldnt be able to continue making Payments Len ers at that time would ask single woman Are you engaged GAINED CONFIDENCE Brooks credits new federal equal credit laws which went into effect in October 1975 for some of the change Others credit increased awareness on the part of women The womens movement has made people go

depression what way to start session By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Assuming that Prime Minis ter Trudeau was looking for ward to this new session of Par liament as itive step to ward the re uilding of his political fortunes he must be disappointed with those first fewdays In fact he must feel terrible It was bad enough preparing throne speech which failed to ignite any flames of in spiration but that was merely the beginning of Mr Trudeaus week of depression Within 24 hours he had lost his defence minister when James Richar dson announced he was quitting the cabinet over bilingualism and the constitution Then there was that an nouncement by Claude Wagner that he would be staying on as an enthusiastic member of the Conservative caucus Mr Wag ner appears to have mastered the art of getting under the prime ministers skin and there appeared to be some en thusiasm within Liberal ranks British Columbia working for more Indian teachers VANCOUVER CP Thir tythree Indian students have begun classes at University of British Columbia as part of new teachertrainin program that might double number of Indian teachers in the prov ince in two years The students who have al ready finished two years of training and student teaching at various BC communities are at the universit to com plete their bac clor of education programs They form the universitys first class

attractions the Stanley Cup layoffs Grey Cup the Gene ian National Exhibition in Toronto or certainly the Cal gary Stampede Calgary has always been strong on Showmanship and will host the Grey Cup game this year The first exhibition was or ganized there Oct 19 1886 just three years after the arrival of the first railway train One of the features baby showing and competition was so intense that the judges were afraid to appear The lgary Herald repor ted ter some futile at tempts to ascertain the weight and age of the exhibits the udges withdrew to the back of stage out of pistol shot range and came to the con clusion that the only way to avoid bloodshed was to award prize to every competitor There werent enough prizes available so ribbons were taken from rizewinning sheep and pinn on the babies The stampede was develop ment of the exhibitions and the brainchild of Guy Weadick cowboy who was born show man He and Tom Mix the first cowboy who became famous on film put on shows in the Cal gary area until Mix left for the years ago with the aid of grant from the provincial gov emment following five years of preparation Dr More said graduates will bridge big gap in culture and in education Communication and under standing those are the big things he said addin that the students besides fol owing regular university rogram in their two years of campus have also taken an additional course in Indian studies PRACTICAL PROGRAM Dr More said the Indian stu dents may have an advantage over their oncampus counter parts in the education depart ment because of the practical United States in 1912 Weadick persuaded the big four of ranching Pat Burns George Lane Archie McLean and Cross to put up $100 000 for the first Calgary Stam pede in 1912 It was great deal of money for such promotion in those da but theStam proved to success ere were other Stampedes in 1919 and 1923 and then the directors of the Calgary Exhibition decided to promote the Stam pede as an annual attraction OTHER OCT 19 EVENTS lwsGroseilliers returned to England with furs from Hudson Bay lottoFrontenac defeated at tack on Quebec by force from New England lastConfederate soldiers dressed as

practical teaching ex perience proved time of ad justment for many of the stu dents who came from commu nities of less than 100 residents he said Some of the students have been out of school for several years Average age is 27 and the oldest is 58yearold mother of four Coordinators will be avail able to the students to assist in counselling in academic and personal problems Dr More said Because of the pressures and prejudices that come with being an Indian there is point where all of them want to for get they are Indians and just blend in with everyone else Most students at one time or another want to leave the centre and go straight into the main campus but no one has gone through with it yet He said he is still waiting to see if the Indian students will cease to think of their heritage as stumbling block DROPOUT RATE LOW In addition to the 33 students at UBC another 75 firstyeir and 50 secondyear students are enrolled in the program An other 22 have dropped out of the course in the first two years This compares favorably with the dropout rate on the main campus Dr More said Not all the students are ex pected to complete the two years at the university for Professional Teaching Certifi cate he said Some may settle for oneyear course and Standard Teaching Certificate Nevertheless he said the programs first graduates will pro ably double the 20 Indian teachers at present in BC half with professional certificates Most of the students he said want to teach Indian children in an integrated school and there are more than enough classrooms to go around Six of the students who have advance credits might adu ate and begin teaching Within year He said there are problems including the finances of the students who must pay more than $500 for tuition and books and an average of $300 month for living ex nses Bursaries elp relieve the sit uation but more mone is needed es cially for stu ents with fami ies to support Dr More said mo VItwa SUN over the prospect of the former Quebec judge leaving Ottawa But Mr Wa er made it am ply clear he no such in tention Those in the media who predicted his departure were malicious incorrect and un fair he told an Ottawa news conference Actually you might wonder whether Mr Wagner was pro testing just bit too much as he lambasted the press for questioning his health his loy alty to party leader Joe Clark and his whole future in federal Eolitics Other politicians have een able to dispel rumors without virtual declaration of war But this is beside the no de parture point The message reachiing Mr Trudeau from the Wagner press conference was that there will be no im mediate departure and for the time being at least there are no apparent cracks of disunity in Torry ranks en there was that little in cident involving the picket line in front of the National Press Building where the prime min ister was to hold postthrone speech news conference He grobably did himself no harm honoring the picket line es tablished by striking employees of The Canadian Press but he did miss an opportunity to sit in comfort before television cam eras and talks to the Canadian people about the new session of Par lament The shorter standup ues tionandanswer session ich was substituted is not the best publicity vehicle for the prime minister Mr Trudeaus troubles didnt end here When he entered the throne speech debate to defend his governments policiespar ticularly rice and wage con trolshe ound himself totally overshadowed by Mr Clarks first speech of the session The Conservative leader must have even surprised himself with his witty thrusts And to make matters worse for the prime minister he was greeted in relative silence by his own backbenchers while the Conservativ3s unded theii desks with ent usiasm wher Mr Clark rose to speak This may not be important in itself bullgt it does indicate the mood oi SURPRISE RESIGNATION There is no doubt that the resignation of Mr Richardson had great deal to do with the atmosphere in the Liberal caucus His resi nation at this time was tota uiiex cted and by becoming the fift min ister to quit the Trudeau cabi net over policy disagreement he did nothin to bolster morale among the Li eral troops The rime minister probably doesn pay too much attention to rumors but considerin ev erythin that has happen sin ce Par iament reopened he must be wondering

of the ian army and the Palest nian Liberation Organization shooting at each other is just another complexity to come out of the already complex Arab world In effect both of these strongly antiIsraeli forces shoul be the strongest of allies the PLO relying on the gowing military muscles of Syrians to encourage yet another war with Israel in the struggle for Palestinian homeland But the intemecine ways of Arab politics reveal the oppo site with PLO and Syrian troops locked in combat inside Leba non confusing component in that very confusmg civil war As result the PLO forces though wellarmed with anti personnel weapons but having no tanks and heavy artillery are being worn down by the Syrian army What you may well ask is the Syrian army doing inside Lebanon an allegedly sovereign Middle Eastern coun try Its there in part to prevent the PLO from setting up sepa rate state in that country in competition with the Syrians And the Lebanese Moslems also are opposed to their Arab brothers in the PLO for the same reason They see them as future rulers of the now shat tered and ideologicallysplit Lebanon MANY ELEMENTS Another confusing element in the SyrianPLO stru is that the Lebanese ristians thou hopposed to the Lebanese Mos ems whom they are fighting welcomed the arrival of theS ians And inally the Israelis have shown compassion for the wounded of the Lebanese Chris tian troops who the see as counterweight to b0 the Leba nese Moslems and the hated Moslem PLO Status of Women Council The confusion and the war fare are result of the sanc tua offered the PLO by Leba non in 1970 after they were for ced out of Jordan in bitter in ternal war which almost de stroyed that countrys capital city of Amman Again it was Arab fighting Ara the Jordanian armys British field pieces turned on the many PLO camps the PLO committing gross acts of inter national piracy like the destruction of three huge jets in the sands of Jordan that year The Lebanese sanctuaries of the PLO with their many re constituted camps near the Is raeli border resulted in PLO terror raids across that border and into nearby Israeli villages throughout the 1970s The Israelis in turn retaliated with their sudden land in vasions of south Lebanon and air strikes even against the capital city of Beirut Not only Yaser Arafat head of the overall PLO structure came to stay in Lebanon but so did his extremist branches like the militant Marxist one under George Habash whose mem bers have been the major PLO identified hijackers during the early 19705 WHITHER THE PLO The future of the PLO is in much doubt Earlier this month Syria hanged three of its mem bers in the public square in front of Damascus hotel they had held for ransom Yaser Arafat who had the worlds spotlight turned on him during his United Nations visit and speech in late 1974 almost missed death from Syrian shell ing around his rural villa near Beirut This massively confusing and continuously dangerous crisis emphasizes as it has always done that Palestinian home land must be secured and that all Middle Eastern states af fected must solve the under lying problem the future of the Arab refugees not wildly successful By JUDY CREIGHTON CP Family Editor male member of the On tario Status of Women Council was quoted recently as having said the womens movement as social cause has probably al ready peaked and the ex citement and momentum has died bit Philip Manuel interviewed when his threeyear term on the council was up added that he had never seen so many people spend so much time talking In terms of legislative changes the council has not been exactly wildly suc cessful Such councils committees or task forces were set up by vari ous levels of government be cause of pressure from women after the report on the royal commission on the status of women was tabled in the House of Commons in 1970 The various bodies were con cemed with issues pertaining to women from human rights to abortion But CrossCanada Survey by The Canadian Press seems to indicate that the wheels of government grind slowly and Canadian women concerned with equality in legislation will wait some time before it is real ity QUIT HER POST The effectiveness of govem mentappointed committees and councils has been seriously griestioned by someespecially ose actively involved such as Laura Sabia the former chair man of the Ontario council Mrs Sabia of St Catharines Ont quit her post in July say ing she was dis ted furious and disa pointe with the gov emmentgecause it still had not changed some of the property laws to give women in case of divorce an equal share of the home or provide for division of assets Hamilton Ont Alderman Pat Ford who is member of that citys status of women committee said during con troversy over the group not ful filling its mandate that she would have to look very se riously at the possibility of dis banding the committee At about the same time the committees chairman Olive Ritchie who is also member of the Ontario council resi ned her position but refus to elaborate on the reasons for her action The advisory committee to city council last officially re ported to council in July 1975 Guidelines approved by Ham ilton outline four functions of the fouryearold committee These are to define in vestigate study and make rec ommendations to city council on issues affecting the status of women in Hamilton inform citizens of Hamilton on issues affecting the status of women encourage women to par ticipate in all aspects of society and continue procedures to ensure the ulfilment of the citys man date GOVERNMENT BLASTED On federal level the advi sory council on the status of women blasted the government for being laggard in report issued in September Despite pressure prodding and pu licity the federal gov ernment is laggard in enacting legislation on womens ri hts the report said It added at 60 per cent of the recommenda tions made by the royal com mission on the status of women have not been fully imple mented The most vocal of govem ment councils has been the On tario grou mainly because its former vo stile chairman Mrs Sabia spoke her mind openly to the press about her disregard for government Dolicv The councils budget for 1976 1977 is $133000 cut of $30000 over the previous year The last annual report issued was for the year ending 1974 Council members are ap pointed by the premiers office The are not salaried but are pai $65 day for the time spent when the council meets every second Thursday of the month to discuss issues THE PICK OF PUNCH hoped Im released before
