progress is being made In fact women increasingly are joining the tradeunion movement in an effort to win higher wages and more equitable place in the work force Statistics compiled by the federal labor department for the period from 1966 to 1976 show that women are unioniz ing at faster rate than men and participating more within their unions Women had not been unioniz ed in such large numbers

dues OIIAWA CP Although there still are thousands of unorganized women slaving away in job ghettos lowpaid work force several decades ago Previously unions were solidly entrenched in the male dominated bluecollar occupa tions of manufacturing con struction mining and transpor tation But then unions had to shift their attention to organizing women in whitecollar jobs Women are still clearly unrepresented says Julie White an Ottawa feminist working on report on unions for the Advisory Council on the St atus of Women But there has been con siderable increase Unions are dealing with the shift somewhat successfully BLAMES STEREOTYPING Ms White says sex discrimination and stereotyp ing are partly responsible for the large masses of women still unorganized but there are other stronger inf luences Sexist attitudes towards women do exist in the union movement but when you look at the overall situation they dont have much of an impact on where and why women are organized She says employer opposition is major reason why white collar workers in the private sector mostly secretaries retail and wholesale clerks and workers in banks insurance and real estate agencies are notunionized Another major obstacle is job fragmentation the scattering of workers in small places over large area in bank branches restaurants and small business It takes more effort and money to reach and organize their workers and because work places are small employees are more subject to intimida tion from their bosses Mary Eady national representative of the Womens Bureau for the Canadian Labor Congress says many working women regard unions as strikehappy armtwisting organizations for lunchtoting bluecollar workers They dont understand how unions can help and they havent been socialized to see themselves in that role she says CWL Autumn Arcade takes in over $200 More than 400 people attend ed Saturdays Autumn Arcade at St Marys Church on Amelia St The arcade included tea

Dear Ann Lenders Please find room in your column for subject nobody wants to talk about am referring to child molesting Recently our sixyearold daughter was molested by trusted family friend Uncle Ed offered to babysit one evening We thought it was sweet of him My husband and Uncle Ed had been close friends for years He was the last person in the world would have suspected as child molester The next morning our daughter told me what happened asked her what was wron when she wouldnt eat and kept clinging to me inform my husband at once and we de cided to prosecute The verdict was reached yesterday Uncle Ed was given one years probation with court supervision When we signed the complaint we learned he was already serving two years probation in similar case Please warn your readers that the best babysitters are grandparents sisters or women friends with children of their own according to our pediatrician Tell them too they must have the guts to prosecute Smart Too Late Dear Smart Thank you for sharing your painful ex perience Your advice is excellent So glad you asked to sit in my chair today Dear Ann Landers That letter describing the hurt feelings of students who are always chosen last to be on the team was of special interest to me because was always the guy no captain wanted But never felt ashamed because knew that one person cannot excel in everything was poor in sports but when it came to Latin or math was No was also sure the captains would soon be asking me for help cannot think of better method of forming two teams with equal talent than the alternate selection system It may create some embarrassment but it is fair Carl ER San Francisco Dear Cart You were fortunate to be able to eliminate the pain of being assed over by intellectualizing Most young people cant that You said you couldnt think of better method of getting two teams with equal talent Well hundreds of readers could The best suggestion is this one The two captains get together and make their selections in private The names of the players are then announced No one knows who was the first to be chosen or last This method is equitable neat and eliminates hurt feelings Dear Ann Landers Please tell your readers again that if they are going to take any kind of painkiller they should not drink drop of alcohol My husband could have lost his life because he did not know this Bennie was always scared to death of the dentist He had to have two teeth pulled yesterday so before he left the house he drank pint of vodka The dentist gave him double shot of Novocain After the extraction Bennie felt pretty good and got in his car to drive home He passed out just before tuming on to the expressway Lucky for him he pulled over to the shoulder and police car was there in jiffy feel good about writing this letter because may have saved life today Holyoke Mass Reader Dear Hoke How right you are Booze and drugs can be deadly combination Add motor vehicle and you have an invitation to suicide murder or both mm Abandoned knitwear By MARGARET WORTH We were looking for mitts the other morning It wasnt really cold just chilly enough to nip at fingertips and make me go searching Every fall tell myself the same thing el your store all the hats mitts and scarves in one place but somehow never get around to it and by the time realize that noone is wearing them any more all the small articles have scat tered found one green mitt two lefthanded blue ones glove that looked like it belonged to the abominable snowman one striped hat with the pomporr missing and three scarves with holes chewed in them gave up and bought my son new gloves think part of the problem is that most children seem to suffer from temporary amnesia As soon as they drop something in school it ceases to belong to them teacher friend once told me that brand new sweather held up in class for identification is hastily shunned by all in par ticular the owner who with averted eyes and heightened col opr will stoically deny ever having possessed such an arti Gym clothes too disappear with monotonous regularity in our ousehold even when firmly labelled in two separate places thought at one time that maybe they had give away service going And then theres socks There isnt mother know who doesnt have her own private collection of sock tales Some of them read like horror stories others would bring tears to your eyes There are mothers who have given the best years of their lives to knitting colour coordinated socks for their children only to discover half their labours languishing in the lost and found while the other half life forgotten somewhere on the sports field Not all socks are unwanted though in fact in this family socks are very popular have pair of pale blue fluffies that everyone is willing to claim and theres pair of white with green tops that almost started family feud last week If can just figure out way to make my children feel as strongly about their gloves as they do about their socks Ill save myself enormous amounts of anguish and probably considerable amount of money too Pollys Pointers Weevils moved with them DEAR POLLY We tried everything we knewof to get rid of weevils then moved couple of years ago and they are still pestering us thought had acked care fully but it did no good so please help me hey are the only bugs we have MRS EJ DEAR MRS EJ It sounds to me as if you moved the weevils too They were probably lurking In some food you seldom use Sometimes they are brought home from the store where they stayed too long on the shelves during warm weather Try to find the offending item Anything that seems questionable should be burned It sounds as if you may need professional to get rid of them all If you spray with an Insecticide yourself wash all cupboards and storage places thoroughly fumigate and keep closed long enough for it to work After they have all disappeared keep few bay leaves in your flour canister in corn meal cereals and any thing that might attract them The bay leaves do not impart taste to the other foods have used them for years as have many others living in humid areas POLLY run MIX MATCH coornmms ONLY Mfa
