WW gtyoov¢ the examiner Frlday May 13 1917 nothing more or less By SHEILA McGOVERN Examiner Staff Reporter More women are entering the work force with expectations of career rather than job and this is going to require changes in all of us says Beverly Kirkpatrick of the On tario Council on the Status of Women Mrs Kirkpatrick told the Barrie University Womens Club that by 1980 50 per cent of women will be working and most of those women will have children Most women today have their last child before age 30 and about one million women in Canada are heads of house holdsshe said But Canada is moving slowly in the area of social change Mrs Kirkpatrick said and she questioned how well children are prepared to cope with an adult world of less defined sex role stereotypes Television commercials por tray women as Sexpots or as simpering idiot who talks to her mop Textbooks still bombard children with images of little girls as passive and playing with dolls she said All the pro fessional people in the books are men and women are in traditional roles of nursing and teaching primary grades GIRISSTEEREI Girls are steered realistic not into the traditional roles neceSsarily by guidance people but by the influences around them since childhood she said Girls still enter stopgap careers thinking they will only be working for while then spend 25 to 40 years in the work force never reaching their full potential she said Society must begin preparing girls for career identity and boys for family identity she said About 40 per cent of women are now working fulltime Mrs Kirkpatrick said but the ma jority of jobs are handmaiden roles They involve no decision making are supportive and generally serve to further the careers of men In the federal government during 1976 78 per cent of women were in secretarial roles and 70 per cent earned under $10000 year Only 18 per cent or 31 women held senior management posit ions In 1967 women earned 55 per cent of what men earned and by 1973 the figure had dropped to 53 per cent This drop oc curred even though the federal government had passed equal pay legislation two years earlier Mrs Kirkpatrick said TAKE CENTURY In Canada in 1962 women held 37 per cent of manage ment positions By 1972 the figure was 42 At that rate Mrs Kirkpatric said it will take women century to reach equality Women are held back from management positions by three assumptions made by men women are more committed to their role at home than their role at work women are biologically unsuited for management and women are emotionally unsuited to man agement Mrs Kirkpatrick said these generalizations about large group have no validity when ap plied to the individual She warned however that expectations of employers in fluence the behavior of employees and if an employer indicates he expects an employee to quit the employee probably will Girls today are trained for jobs rather than careers yet in 1972 73 per cent more women than in 1963 indicated they were interested in fulltime careers Women with higher education are unlikely to interrupt their careers she said Rwearch by the Status of Women Council has shown there is no difference in ability patterns between men and women but there are dif ferences between individuals shesaid NO VALIDITY The council also has research to show there is no validity to the argument women go through menstrual and menopausal cycles that make them biologically unsuited to management work Mrs Kirkpatrick pointed out men also go through hormone cycles and in other cultures no emphasis is placed on these cycles In the field of emotions she said there is again an overlapp ing among individuals rather distinct differences between sex groups The most widespread pro blem in ending discrimination is sexrole stereotyping Mrs Kirkpatrick said No area of human functioning is more emotionally charged she said particularly since our society is obsessed with sex The most devastating blow to man is to suggest he is not masculine or that women is not feminine she said Society has developed dif ferent roles and personality traits for men and Women things are sold on the basis of the difference Stereotyping affects the way people relate in the home at work and they way children look at adults Mrs Kirkpatrick said lhcrc is also difference in wealth with women earning onethird to onehalf less than men But womens libbers are becoming more respectable now she said we dont burn our bras on street corners anymore We want equality she said nothing more and nothing less

more literature in schools Mrs Carson who is also president of the Barrie group said literature is put in the Bar rie schools especially the high schools in attempts to make the children realize the damage of drugs alcohol and ciga rettes and the effects they ha vc on perSons body The number one problem which we feel is very hard to fight is drinking This is becairsc of the temptation at home

Lander On being father Dear Ann Landers The piece send was printed in Newsday few years ago came across it again and sent it to you to share with your readerswith the authors per mission His name is Martin Weinstein ON BEING FATHER was the product of broken home grew up without the physical or iritual presence of father without the com forting know edge that at home there was strong figure could turn to for solace warmth and disciplinesomeone who would be glad to share the joys of childhood and shield me from the minor hurts now am middleaged man the father of three but can still feel the pain of being fatherlessAas if just had tooth extracted That void in my life has never been filled Growing up alone forged my character and my per sonality It taught me to look only to myself for aid and com fort But it denied me an emotional haven the one thing young person needs if he is to grow up whole How vital it is for child to have shoulder to cry on in crisis Ile needs place to go so he can close his eyes and shift the burden of woe or responsibility even for moment to someone who really cares Only father can fill this role Only father can create the am bience that grounds the emo tional security that young people require if they are to be come mature adults and in turn pass on to their children the warmth and love that makes for stability love my children and care about them This means in addition to attending PTA meetings and open school nights give of myself do not try to enter their world as peer want to be father not friend establish order in my home This means discipline swift certain consistent and above all else loving strive to transmit waves of con cern without creating neurotics This means setting stan dards and insisting on achievement within the framework of my childs capacity to perform It means sharing the vic tories and helping to pick up the pieces after failure Being father also mwns nights under sheetwwith bil lowing steam to cure the croupand more nights trying to decipher the new math It means museum time and romp time family singing dinner table discussions reading Ed gar Allan Poe by candlelight in the den sacrifice without histrionics conveying the fact that parents are human and therefore fallible It means saying Im sorry when youre wrong even from your exalted position as head of the house The job is fulltime Saturdays and Sundays included It can be open to anyone who cares to apply and is willing to work to qualify and it is not necessarin limited to natural parents Stepfathers adoptive fathers even strangers who care can enter the arena and carve out relationship with child that will be filled with rewards and yes sorrows and gistappointments For the sum total of all these things is at or Dear Friend Thank you for sending Martin Weinsteins beautiful piece On Being Father Im sure he has helped put fatherhood in its proper perspective in way that will be helpful to many Roseanne Mcggbg Four weddings and one dress have four weddings to go to soon own one long dress could get another long dress But that would take the challenge out of getting the most mileage out of the one own Besides Im cheap How can you wear the same dress to four different occa sions without anyone noticing lhats what accessories are for friend reminded me Amazing what scarf or jewelry can do Or change of hairstyle might divert the attention away from the dress Dye your hair green that way no one will even notice the dress she said Times like this make me wish there was universal uniform Men are clothes conscious But they dont make it number one on their worry list Imagine if they did Listen as Frank approaches Harry at an annual company dinner party and dance Youre looking slick tonight Harry New suit This old thing No Ive had this for while llmm looks different somehow It must be the new tie pin Harry offers You know youre right it gives that suit whole new look Harry is pleased My wife gave me this pin for our anniversary Matches my pen Sec He opens his jacket for Frank to see the pen in his inside pocket Not bad says Frank enviously By the way is that George coming in with his wife Sure is Id know that suit anywhere says Harry Both observe as George pays to get in Did you see that wallet Harry bet its at least three yearsout of date Harry nods And it doesnt even go with his shoes Im amazed at the lack of imagination of designers today For example why has no one invented reversible formal similar to the popular reversible skirts of the late 505 Two dresses in one might be worth the prices they are charging today Make the outside green and the inside red So until the world of fashion comes up with something dif ferent Ill dye my hair green Pollys Eointers Corn meal makes coffee DEAR POLLY Years ago when was youngster remember my mother made coffee do not remember all the ingredients she used but do remember one was bran do not know what kind but know it was not the bran buds we see today Also she put in molasses eggs and perhaps oatmeal This was mixed until it made fine crumbs and then put in bread pans not too thick and baked She stirred it occasionally so it would brown evenly When baked it was put in covered containers When she made the coffee it was in an old time coffee pot with water and then boiled Now that coffee is soaring in price would appreciate hear ing from anyone who has such recipe MARTHA DEAR MARTHA The high price of coffee is on many of our minds just now Perhaps the following letter will be of some interest to you have not tried this recipe but thought you might like to Perhaps other readers have other recipes that they remember POLLY DEAR POLLY Years ago when coffee prices went up to 30 cents pound my grandma said That is way too high and she made her own She used what she called dripping pans that would hold four loaves of bread and were made of what she called black steel She halffilled pan with cornmeal dribbl ed two tablespoons of black strap molasses over it stirred and put it in the oven to roast As remember it tasted good and was quite dark The cornmeal she used was coarsely ground That was about 65 years ago enjoy your Pollys Pointers even if am 74yearold YOUNG man Keep up the good work wonder what grandma would say about todays coffee prices MR JHB DEAR MR JHB Thanks for your letter and those nice words Stick with us am sure grandma would have plenty to say about todays prices in general POLLY DEAR POLLY Those who still make coffee and hate to throw away any extra they have can freeze it in ice cubetrays Then remove and store in bags in the freezer Pop one or two into your beef stew or gravy for delicious rich flavor HOLLY DEAR HOLLY Such cubes could also be used for teed coffee Have you ever also tried adding bltof coffee to chocolate Icing does wonders for It POLLY DEAR POLLY have alwa dreaded running the sweeper and dusting Finally the ought struck me that should pretend was maid do the work and then wrltf myself check in payment This really works LOUIS
