ae Some things keep the con- versation pot simmering for days. People are still talking about the wonderful Burns' Supper that the St. Andrew's held Society last Friday in the UAW Hall. It was the society's 20th annual Burns' Night and it was crowned with success. Some four hun- dred attended including civic and parliamentary dignitaries and all were stirred to the core by the oratory of Hon- orable T. C. (Tommy) Doug- las MP who made the tradi- tional address to Robbie Burns and received a stand- ing ovation. Quoting beloved. passages from the poems to illustrate his points, he revealed Burns as an observant lover of na- ture and mankind who with his simple, direct philosophy of the ploughman, dared to express what were in_ those days of extreme wealth and dire poverty, the most radi- cal and democratic theories. It is many years since such a scholarly address was so tenderly delivered. The Osh- awa speakers were in fine form, too. Supporting roles were played by Mayor Ernest Marks, T. D. Thomas, John Sym who' proposed the toast "to the lassies' in "'verra Scottish' verse, and Mrs. Thomas who replied. In the concert that followed including sword dancers, bass-baritone Jim Smith sang "The Star o' Robbie Burns" and ~"Westering Home" and Elsie Drygala's clear soprano voice stirred the deepest emo- tions when she sang "My Heart's in the Highlands" and "Will Ye No Come Back again?"' A-surprise feature was the introduction of William G. Scott who has written and composed a song which he hopes will become a national anthem. The song's premiere, beautifully sung by Elsie Dry- gala, was well received and the manuscript has already been submitted to the centen- nial commission in Ottawa. People are still talking about the city councillors giv- ing themselves a_ boost in pay at the outset of taking office; an ill-timed move and poor psychology. They might have waited six months; proved themselves and made it retro-active. Now they have something to live up to or they'll never live it down! People are still talking about the bus deficit and the ones who do the most talking never ride in a bus. Public transportation is a necessary Women's Editor of The Times municipal service that has to be paid for like any other, We must pay for a Fire De- partment whether there are fires or not (last year's bud- get $923,000); for an ambu- lance service (last year's bud- get $75,000) and a Police com- mission (last year's budget $896,000), so let's not talk about a bus deficit, instead regard the fact that the bus division provides a revenue whereas the other services do not. Congratulations to the Ital- jan Sports and Social Club on raising $2,000 toward the Save the Italian Art Fund, a trust fund for all of Canada to help restore art treasures ravaged by disastrous floods. I talked to a reporter who was in Florence three days after the peak of the flooding. He had great admiration for the teen- agers who toiled fearlessly and tirelessly to remove the mud and slime after the waters receded. "No assessment can be given of the costs of what- ever restoration can be done. The cost is many times great- er than any one country can bear and the effects will con- tinue for years, A recent re- port lists as damaged or de- stroyed by water, mud or oil: 885 works of art of first importance; 10,000 other ob- jects; 700,000 volumes of ar- chives. In addition the flood has weakened the foundations of several churches and palaces." A special treat for tele- vision viewers who are weary of westerns and folk singers will be aired tomorrow--night. Directed by Michael Lang- ham, the actors of the Strat- ford Shakespearean Festival will present, in color, Henry V. The full-length play is a first for North America. Total production costs were $150,- 000. That's well over $1,000 a minute of viewing. Even if you're not a Shakespeare fan you'd better have. ten min- utes of it at that price. In closing I must say how proud I am of that Royal Lion that nipped Uncle Sam's coat-tails this week. Those Washington financiers may think that there are not many of us up here and we don't know much. What they some- times overlook is the fact that we're key partners in a tre- mendous commonwealth that far exceeds the United States and we're certainly not tak- ing any wooden nickels from Mr. Rockefeller. See you at the Mardi Gras, but you won't know me! | JO'S JOURNAL BY'JO ALDWINCKLE | DING-DONG BELLES SING FOR THEIR OWN AND OTHERS' PLEASURE Women's Bid For Change Rights May Revoke 18th Century Deed By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--One of the sternest male bastions in that awesomely masculine pre- serve, the City of London, may soon surrender to mod- ern times in its rearguard ac- tion against women. The London Stock Ex- change, dipping a cautious toe into the swelling stream of sex equality, has agreed in prin- ciple' to consider admitting women as full business mem- bers. By the end of February a vote will be taken to amend the ancient Deed of Settle- ment--founding charter -- to permit women to become partners in stockbroking firms. : At present the handful of women who work in London brokers' offices can only achieve the status of "at- tache" or "registered clerk," working on one-third the com- mission gained by full part- ners. Attaches are dependent on commission: clerks receive it in addition to a regular salary. The forces of revolution, however, are hardly headlong. Women will still be barred from dealing on the floor of the House and there is consid- erable doubt whether the vote to amend the charter will go in their favor anyway. Amendments have to be carried by a 75 per cent ma- jority of members and there are pockets of resistance to female invasion. "The wheels grind slowly up. here,' said a stogk ex- change spokesman, who incl- dentally let slip the phrase "second - class membership" as he explained how the 18th century deed would have to be altered to permit women to join. TWO TRIED AND LOST Two women who have al- ready tried in vain to storm the fortress in Throgmorton Street will likely be first in line if the vote goes in favor. Neither is optimistic that it will. Mrs. Elisabeth Rivers-Bul- keley, attractive blonde wife of a Lioyd's insurance roker, has been stockbroking as an attache for 10 years. Her clients are mostly men and business firms and she has never encountered anti-female prejudice among them. Her application for member- ship was turned down in 1962 because her husband was at business in risk'? and the stock exchange felt she might have a "moral obligation" to meet his debts, and she was born in Austria. Muriel Bailey, a dark-haired woman in her 50s who started in the City in 1925 as a short- hand-typist.and now works as a registered clerk with about 750 clients, was also rejected in 1962. A year ago, when the stock exchange introduced a form of "limited membership'--a category short of partner status in which a broker puts up so many thousand pounds and accepts liability and prof- its in proportion--Miss Bailey applied again. EFFICIENCY FEARED Two male sponsors put her case to the august Stock Ex- change Council, a 36-member panel of brokers and jobbers which judges the claims of every candidate for a seat on the exchange. Miss Bailey had to wait outside for 45 minutes while the men deliberated. In the end, they turned her down --but she had the consolation of being the first woman even to reach the Council door. Neither Miss Bailey nor Mrs. Rivers - Bulkeley seems worried by exclusion from the hectic floor-dealing. In New York, women may _ become members of the New York Stock Exchange but are barred from the floor and it is a commonly accepted con- vention on most exchanges that scrambling to~buy and sell as prices shuttle is phys- ically too strenuous for women. The Daily Mail, noting in an editorial that women have successfully proved acumen in business fields from banking to store management, sug- gests it might be fear of the chillingly efficient business- woman that keeps. the bar- riers up. accomplishing school work is between aver- than starts to fight.

LACK BACKBONE My reply in part: It appears that you parents don't have a strong backbone and that your boy isn't sure you always mean what you say. The chances are that you talk and threaten a great deal and do nothing til you get good and angry. I wish you would sit down to- gether and decide on a few things this boy must do or not do in your presence and agree on a penalty for his disobedi- ence. Resolve to give a com- mand just once and then if he doesn't obey promptly, punish him effectively. Don't argue with him. Perhaps you can get rid of physical punishment if, for each dereliction, you require him to sit for an hour, unamused, do- ing nothing. If he gets up from the chair too soon, paddle him soundly. Be sure it hurts, no fleabites. STUDY RELATIONSHIPS It might be well for you par- ents to look into his relation- He is strong-willed. By|from jealousy.

Speaking to the queensway General Hospital auxiliary, Mrs. Sabia said women have been told they should be etern- ally seduced, flutter their eyes and wear perfume. Mrs, Sabia led a delegation of 75 women last Nov, 10 to ask the federal government for a royal commission to examine the status of women.
