P, WOODSIDE General Manager mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawe pAady HELEN NUTTING, chairman of the British Council of Married Women; wants parliament to pass a law requiring husbands to turn over to their wives a percentage of their salaries. She would let parliament de- cide the amount. Lady Helen says the status of Brit- ish wives is inferior and she ‘blames existing laws which make a husband lord and master of his wife’s property, if any, and require only that a man must “maintain” his wife and “answer for -her debts.” . Maintenance isn’t enough in this day and age, argues Lady Helen, who is obviously out of touch with matters as they affect Canada. A wife, unless she is a “little nitwit with no ambition,” needs some extra spending money which would be hers by right, says Lady Helen. As far as Prince Rupert husbands are concerned Lady Helen’s complaint The cult of new. word has appeared in the ™ news—losemanship. This is the term Andy O’Brien, The Telegram prevailing attitude of Canadian ath- Tetes”’ He says that Canada is getting -asreputation abroad as a nation of ‘good losers and our record in interna- tional sport shows it: He. suggests that this record would improve if our athletes were more aggressive and became bad losers. - For most people a bad loser is one who is ungracious in defeat.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1958 Nitwits of the world arise! reads like something out of the Dark Ages. Husbands here have long since lost control over their pay ‘ cheques and with. so many working wives abounding these days, its father who often has to borrow “a little extra spending money” to get through the month himself. What with payments on the car, the automatic washer and dryer, the rent and the fuel bill, father’s pay cheque is gone before he even cashes it, . What is needed in this country is a Canadian Council of Husbands with legislation permitting a male wage earner to keep some trivial amount of his own pay for his very, very own. Which leads us to believe that if such a council was ever organized and amalgamated with Lady Helen’s coun- ceil, the resulting revolution might be more world shaking than any Karl Marx ever anticipated. losemanship cause of failure to subject it to rigor- ous testing. A good athlete, in the tra- dition of art and science, undergoes a regimen of attitude and practice that accepts nothing less than perfection. He is willing to make sacrifices for his craft, and this is perhaps what is lack- ing in Canadian sport. ; _ A nation does not have to be large and powerful to produce a proud and enviable tradition in athletic endeav- | or; Australia and Finland attest to this truth. What it needs is athletes who will be unsparing.in demanding ° from themselves the price of victory, without which distinction in sports, as ‘in life, is impossible. . —The Toronto Telegram. Punched justice From The Lethbridge Herald We are not amused, much less enthralled by the prospect of an electronic judge, as held forth by a French lawyer-mathematician. Even if such a device were used only to decide cases “whose solutions can be derived unam- biguously from data” it would be Orwellian asas well as Wellsian. If we ever start dispens- ing “justice” from a card index system— we'll get just what we deserve, Emphasis on Natural Lighting Ensures Pleasant Atmosphere as TL eeeetardsy TE eae | ET a > ne og \ os Ee SO Ae ttc whe. = : " ot ei ad a * al x ~” 7 se ed wa ofa.

Would Mr. Murray ‘please explain to the parents of the children how they can get to ‘Phelan.

From The Ottawa Journal The tragic gang killing of an Ottawa youth has stirred the capital, and well it may. But too often civie conscience is stirred after an event. Reading of such happenings in the slum areas of New York, Ottawa residents usually adopted the attitude it could © not happen here, But it has. Ang what to do about it? There is no one remedy, But here are a few thoughts on the matter. Ban from TV the showing of crime thrillers which often af- fect simple | minds.

At the present rate of construction it will be 10 or 12 years before this road is completed. It is too bad we.do not have a representative who would publicly take Highways Min- ister Gaglardi to task for his failure to provide this road as he promised especially when it becomes more apparent all the time that the promise of this road was used as bait to help elect our present member.
