with some word about a plane on the loose—which
it did not appear to he—nobody will be able to ex-
plain it, but nobody will lose any sleep over it.

At the same time, an occurrence of this sort
does draw attention to something which could be
serious. If the city became a target of attack, at
enemy plane could appear in the skies in the same
unheralded manner as yest rday’s “flying saucer,”
and Prince Rupert would be duck soup.

It is not feasible, of course, that we should have
a squadron of fighter planes ready at all times to
pretect us from disaster, no matter how peaceful
he outlook. There are other place s where the alr-
raft are infinitely more valuable at the moment,

and the taxpayers would not thank the government

for this surplus protection.

But the point is that if the danger became very

real, we would still have no hope of such protection
for the simple reason that there is no airport here
at which the planes eould be based. At best we might

Married Women in the Office

|" THE RECENT CBC broadeasts on Prince Ru-
pert, it was the opinion of one of the women
interviewed that there is a high percentage of the
married members of her sex in the
employed outside the home.

It is an interesting point. Whether or not it
gave the Financial Post an inspiration is not known,
but in its eurrent issue the paper carries the results
of a questionnaire on the subject as applied to
Canadian women generally,

Thile acknowledging the high cost of living
and woman’s desire for more independence and
social contact, most of those queried did not approve |
of the trend towards female employment. Typical
Of the opinions about married women w orking was
that of L. J. Ladner, Vancouver lawyer, who said:

“It results in the wife assuming an air of
greater independence, a lack of responsibility on
the part of the husband, a decrease in the birth rate,
less attention to the education and training of chil-
dren, an increase in divorce and the lessening of
interest in the home.”

Right or wrong, Mr. Ladner is a brave man.
But he appears to be talking against the tide of |
events because the woman in the office,
unmarried, is obviously here to stay.
