The flow- ers took first place in the three-blooms competition at the Oshawa Horti¢iltural Sociéty's atmual flower and vegetable show Saturday. They aré tiybrid tea réses and were grown and' éxhi- bited by William Fulton of Connaught street.

Oshawa Times Photo Few Canadian Women Are Asked To Serve As Jurors In Canada CP CROSS-CANADA SURVEY By JEAN SHARP CP Wotiei's Editor Before 1954 only men could sit on juries in New Brunswick. That year, after a Vigorous campaign, the law was changed to énable women to serve if they applied, Since then about six women have applied: Quebec and Newfoundland @on't allow women to sit on juries although both provinces have had women judges for some years. Prince Edward Island is a little more consistent, It bars women ffom. jiiries and at the same time has rio women judges. Other provinces permit women t6 do jury dity, sqme- times with restrictions, but & is 4 mové afoot to ask for a change. Mrs. R. B. Ramsey, président of the Régina Council of Women, says the éoiincil has approved 4 resoltition asking the govern- ment to aménd the act. Generally, in Saskatchewan, the sheriffs' lists of potential jurors include @bout 16 per cent wothen. A spokesman for the attorney - general's office says no statistics date kept but he thought more women séryed in spring sessions this year than in 1964. Manitoba women may alsé claiti a year's exemption with- out excusé, Miss A. V.

Ih NOva Gcotia,; Womén are rinitted to sérve only in Hali- lax and this automatically keeps the figure for thé province low. But élééwhere, the explana- tion seéifis to bé that it is too easy for women to beg off. sually they need say only that they don't want to sérve. In July, 1964, British Columi- bia amended the law so that women could no longer claim éxémption just bécause they aré Women. They fist show that Sérvice would ihédn personal hafdship Or illness, the same as for men. But a successful claim can be made by a woman with young children. FEW CALLED Until last year, of about 400 women a yéar called for duty in Vancouvér, about 30 accepted. Shériff Edwin W. Wells says an ihieréasing nuttiber of women have been serving since the amendment but the number called is still. small because their commitments in the home make it less likely they will serve. "If we called 50 per cent women we would end up with a véry small jury panel," Sher- iff Wells says. In Alberta, Saskatchewan, Mariitoba and Ontario, a woman doesn't nééd any excuse at all té escapé jury service. bélieves they should do their duty and servé. About 10 per cent of jurors in Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench last year were women and the proportion was about the samié this spring. LACK OF INTEREST Thomas, president of the Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clib of Saint John, says stie knows of only two instances where women actually served, One was a 1958 assault case, the other a 1963 murder trial. Saint John Shétiff T. EB. Des- mond attributés the small num- ber of offers t6 serve to lack of interest. 25 PER CENT WOMEN Ontario calis a latger number of women than dther provinces. Since 1961 the attornéy-general's| office has asked eslectors to} make 25 per cent of their list} women. P. J. Ambrose, sheriff of York County, says a little less than half the women called accept. "If @ woman is working, the boss knows she can get an ex- émption. It's hard for her to say, 'I want to do my duty.'" Miss Hyndman has headed a committee which has several] times requested an amendment from attornéys - genéral. The| women represent such groups as} the Business and Professional] Women's Clubs, Zonta, the Coun-| cil of Women, Council of Jewish Women and Women's Institutes.

Attorney-General Claude Wag- ner says there's no immediate thought of changing the law 'But we will have to come to it. one of these days." Attorney-General J. A.
