Greene anon: ‘OEO But this status has its responsiâ€" lbilities. There is no responsibility modern conditions have given to wo- men which is more important than judicial and prudent use of the ‘balâ€" lot. We must not allow our judg- ment and‘ common sense to be swayecl by sentiment â€"â€" by catch phrases â€"â€" by innuendo. Women ex- pect frankness from women. Women expect facts from women. And‘ our job has been to get these for you. It has ever ‘been the lot of our men to .be in front line trenches, whether in a battle of ballots or lbullets. It has been our share to sustain and maintain the economic front. Under all circumstances ours has been the joib of balancing- the budget, whether that lbudget be large or small. 'Therefore, women- should know the facts regarding Canada’s war effort. We should know just how this effort affects us as women. The day following Great Britain’s declaration of war on Gemmany on Septemlber 3, 1939, many of Can- ada’s leading business-men were ask- ed by your government to loan to your country the brains andl ability which had built up their particular business or profession to its present eminence in Canada. These brains were enlisted: with- out salary and! are working for you and for me. Leading civil servants were drafted. from various govern- ment departments and special war boards were set up, under the sup- ervision of these outstanding busi- ness and professional men â€"â€" chosen with absolutely no regard for any politicalaffiliation â€" their rbest con- tribution, in the opinion of your gov- ernment, lbeing the speedy, economi- cal, and successful conclusion of Can- ad’a’s war effort. (By Mrs. C. R. Widdzizfield, President, Ontario Women’s Liberal Assoc.) Every woman s'n-ouid insist on the truth as to Canada’s war effort. Ev- ery woman should' insist on casting her ballot on March 26. For never in Canada's history has an election meant. so much to every man, woman and child in this country. Years ago, Joan of Arc was rbur?!- ed at the stake for witchcraft. Toâ€" day her martyrdom for her country has made her Saint Joan of Arc. By a decision of the courts we woâ€" men are persons. We enjoy equal rights with men in all: but one prov- ince in Canada. Our status is steadi- ily improving, so that the old saying, “The hand' that rocks the cradle rules the world”, is- increasingly ap- parent. Let those of Us who are old enâ€" ough look back on the cost of livin'r during the last Great- War â€" bacon and Ibutter selling at from 60 cents to a dollar a pouné (you remember the terrible Olelo Margarine); eggs selling as high as ten 'cents each; potatoes and other produce of the farm passing through half a dozen commission agents’ hands before they reached the consumer at disgrace- ‘fully high prices. Coal â€" in fact Do we women realize that March 26th marks Canada’s first war time electionr since the Treaty of West- minster made us a nation in 1927? Do we appreciate our status under democratic government? Richmond Hill WOMEN EXPECT FRANKNESS FROM WOMEN SOHO 0:10 1 During the Great War, mothers and’ children were left to the care 30f the charity of the Patriotic Fund. Todta‘y‘fs regulations allow for imi- lmedn'ate payment of assigned! pay, $20.00 â€"â€" separation allowances of $35.00 and‘ $12.00 each for two chil- drensâ€"or $79.00 per month to a sol- dier’s wife and» children. , ’ Last time we fought Germany a mother could- not get a government allowance if the soLdier had‘ a wife drawing separation money. Today’s regulations do not require that it be proven that the son was the sole support of his mother, much less reâ€" fusing dependent mothers whose son’s wife is in receipt of separation a1â€" lowance. An independent hoard, representa- tiJVe of all services, has been esta'bâ€" ‘liis-hed. Some 44,000 applicationsfor dependents’ allowances have been filed with this board. Thirty-seven thousand families, covering over 65.- 000 dependents, are receiving momh~ ly cheques, made up partly of solâ€" tl'iers’ assigned pay and partly of dependents’ allowances.
