She has tried to get Sheldon to move into the guest room and that didn't work. But her week she sends him obituary of heart attacks, All her clip- pings are about men under 60. Whenever she sees Sheldon lifting something heavy she says, "Stop that. Let your wife do it." The classic was last week. The car stopped and Shel- don said it must be the battery. His mother announced, "'If the car has to be pushed, your wife can push it." Sheldon hasn't had a sick day in 15 years. I wish I could say the same. Please debunk the myth that heart attacks run in families so I can send a_clip- ping to my mother-in-law for a change.

The Wrens were retired from ac- tive. duty in July, 1946, the CWACs were demobilized by the end of September and the WDs said farewell with a pa- rade and inspection at Tren- ton air station Nov. 14, 1946, under Wing Officer Kathleen Walker.

FOR THE BIRTHDAY your horoscope indicates career advancement and financial gain within this new year in your life; also, the possibility that you will receive some generous token of appreciation for past endeavors -- quite possibly in late December. So as not to success, however, do avoid ex- travagance and-or speculation between now and Dec. 20. Risk- ing assets on the latter could be disastrous -- especially between now and Qct. 31. Most propi- tious cycles for monetary inter- ests: Between Dec. 21 and Feb. 15, in June (a fine month for expansion), next August and September. Job advancement is also pre- dicted during the aforemen- tioned periods, with an addi- tional chance of achieving rec- ognition from superiors during the last two weeks in April, Certain business transactions, if concluded in late December (an exceptionally fine period for all Virgoans) or mid-May, should have unusually successful out- comes.

MYERS, PhD If you are 50 years old or older you have seen a great change in what has been writ- ten about child rearing. You remember where nearly every- thing you read or heard on the onality and made him neu- even prepared him for Parents heard you should not to require the child of any te do anything he didn't feel like doing. Make everything you wish your child at six, 10 or 14 to do so attractive to him that and teachers of this doctrine began to call the ways they advocated "'permissiveness." Among those who taught this widely-accepted doctrine were psychiatrists, pediatricians, child psychologists, welfare workers, and leaders in early education. These "ex- perts" were often called upon to air their views at the local, state and national PTA meet- ings, the biggest sounding boards for them; at women's clubs, in popular magazines-- especially those read by moth- ers; in newspaper columns on ehild rearing, and on the air! MARKED CHANGE But in recent years there has been a marked change which you must have observed. An increasing number of counsel- lors on child rearing are saying and writing that children, be- ginning in their early years, should be reasonably re- strained; that excessive permis- siveness is a dangerous theory and practice. Some are even 8a) that the rapid rise in juvenile delinquency is a lead- ing cause of this trend. What is most amazing to us is that some of the child experts who 30 or more years ago were most vocal and effective in spreading propaganda for more permissiveness in dealing with young children, now are saying that parents should stiffen up and restrain their older young- sters and teen-agers. But parents who believed the philosophy of excessive permis- siveness and brought up their children with restraints-to-the- told to control their children now, who are 12, 14 or 16, when they had been allowed to do about as they pleased and with these children pretty far be- yond control, the parents feel more or less helpless, They can't take these children back to the crib and nursery and brlag them up from there. Thoy must try to do the best they can. Wiser parents of babies and young children are beginning to get better advice from the ex- perts. Whereas psychologists generally were on the side of more permissiveness in child rearing 30 or 40° years ago, some of the most effective crit- ies of excessive permissiveness today are psychiatrists. ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q. What is the latest infor- mation about supply and de- mand of teachers? A. From numerous reports on this subject, it seems that there is an over-supply of art, history and music teachers. In short supply are teachers of mathe- matics, physical science, politi- cal science, sociology, econom- ics and physical. education. In preferred locations there often are more applicants than jobs for teachers. By JEAN SHARP Canadian Press Women's Editor Twenty-five years ago, with Canada in the midst of a Second World War recruiting drive for 32,000 men and Prime Minister Mackenzie King insisting there would be no conscription, it was announced that women's branches of the armed forces would be formed. As described by War Se.v- ices Minister Joseph T. Thor- son, enlistment of women was to be on a modest scale. There would be on'y a few thousand in each branch and they would do only a handful of jobs. But by the time the Cana- dian Women's Army Corps, RCAF Women's Division and Women's Royal Canadian Na- yal Service--the CWACs, WDs and WRENS--were disbanded five years later, 45,691 women had served with them. And far from handling a limited number of Ybs, they wound up doing just about every task except fighting. Typical were the women of the naval auxiliary. The first class of 67 had little hope of serving in other than clerica', administrative or domestic capacities, But as the war progressed Wrens became motor transport drivers, tele- type operators, visual signal- ers, wireless operators, coders, sick berth attendants, switchboard operators, radar operators, sailmakers, opera- tional plotters, training as- sistants and even electrical artificers. A good many also became wives of sailors, soldiers and airmen. About 18,000 service- Marks Quarter Century's Service men married service women. ARMY WAS FIRST Although War Services Min- ister Thorson (who later be- came a justice of the ex- chequer court) announced in June, 1941, that the women would be given a chance to serve, it wasn't until Sept 1 that the army began enlisting its first 850 recruits. On Oct. 10 the air force told its first 150 to report to their nearest recruiting station and by the end of November 16,000 had applied and 600 had been admitted to the two services. It wasn't until the spring of 1942 that the WRCNS an- nouncement was made. Within six days 800 girls had applied. The first small groups were hand-picked. Elizabeth Smel- lie, now of Toronto, was bor- rowed from her job as ma- tron - in - chief of the army medical corps to supervise the organization of the CWACs. Miss Smellie recalls that she travelied across Can- ada explaining and interview- ing. "At first they were looking for people in different areas who would help the miliiary with recruiting. Man-like, they were hedging about what women to pick. . . . Everyone wanted to enlist. It was a natural desire to be where the excitement, and the men, were," Marjorie Evis, now senior CWAC officer at Canadian forces headquarters in Ot- tawa, says there were reser- vations about the usefulness and wisdom of recruiting women despite the success of "They even thought of us as camp-followers until they saw we had a role to play." PAY WAS LOWER She enlisted as a private on Sept. 1, 1941, one of the first recruits from the Toronto area, Today she is a major. "When you're young you get caught up in that terrific feel- ing," she says. "You feel you have to do something. I guess its patriot- ism, though that seems to be a dirty word today." Whatever the reasons for the response from Canadian women, it seems unlikely that the pay was an important in- ducement. "Among the first posts to be filled will be cooks for military hospitals and maids for nurses' quarters," said a report in August, 1941. Pay was two-thirds that of men. A recruit got 90 cents a day, a sergeant $1.50. On en- rolment, volunteers got unt forms plus $15 for toileiries and underwear. They received another $3 every three months. At first women were ex- pected to serve only in Can- ada, and most did, but about 5,000 went overseas, the ma- jority to England. Maj. Alice Sorby of Winnipeg became the first CWAC in London in August, 1942, and spent three years there. Only a handful went on to Europe. Capt. Cynthia Oakley of Meadowvale, Ont., was re- ported to be the first posted to an active theatre of war. In June, 1944, she headed a unit of wireless operators, clerks and stenographers sent to Italy.

It took both the army and navy until spring of 1943 to decide to give women officers the same rank titles as men. Army lieutenants had, for ex- ample, been subalterns. Also in 1943, the RCAF WD and CWAC got pay raises to bring them up to 80 per cent of men's salaries. A lieuten- ant-colonel got $8 a day in- stead of $6.70. The following year the navy gave Wrens permission to wear bell-bottom trousers on the trip overseas and open collars in summer. But as late as 1945 the army refused permission for the CWAC pipe band to wear kilts because the pipers' knees would show. As the end of the war in Europe approached there was speculation about whether women would be al- lowed to go the Pacific thea- tre. The navy approved the idea and the WDs were re- ported eager to volunteer. But in December, 1944, the || limited. Act Now. | 10 SIMCOE ST., NORTH HOUSEWIVES THIS IS FOR YOU!
