SHARON _LEES:

She teaches Fnglish and Social Studies to Grades 5 -
19. Sharon and Jeremy Lees will be here two years in
August. Thev had been in Toronto before and Jerrv
answered an ad. for Ass't. Mill Superintendent - he
got the position and here they were. Sharon started
relief teaching one week after they arrived and is
now a steady teacher.

If an established Flying Club ever becomes a
reality in Cassiar and a petite, attractive Australian
lass -is firstin line to register, that's Sharon. She
has her glider's licence and who knows what type of
plane is next on her list?

We think it would he a good idea for the ladies
of the town to get together and form a "WELCOMING
COMMITTER” for new ladies arriving in town.

If any one is intcrested in being a member of
this committee, would they please forward their
names to one of the Editors.

In our last edition we asked - “Is a woman a Beast
of Burden or a Chattel"” - well here are some of the
letters we received.

To the Editors:

After pondering over a few intelligent age-old
(or old-aged) questions, which cry out for an answer,
I came to the following conclusions:-

1) A woman is a different something, of a person,
too complicated and delicate to be pinpointed down,
what exactly "something" should embrace.

2) She could be a Beast of Burden or Chattel out
of her own free choice, hut then of course, she
needs good care and attention in order to perform
her functions well!

3) Some Canadians (let's not generalize) have
spoiled their women with home gadgets, but they
should really spoil them more with love and affec-
tion and find out that it would make their world
change.

Page 13

After a little meditation, the following questions
popped into my mind:-

1) Is a man a child or an adult?
2) Is he a working machine or a bread winner only?

3) Are Canadians more materialistic and less
loveable than any other men in the world?

Dear Sir,

My Daughter-in-Law has a friend who works at the
Cassiar Mine and in tnis way I received a copy of
your paper.

I must take exception to the questions entered in
your publication "Is a woman a person or something
different".

A woman is not only a person, she its also something
different, --- men have abused her anid taken advantage
of her for generations - thank heavens the "tyranny
of men” has ended in Canada.

We still have a few ignorant people around who
still think of her as a Beast of Burden - very stupid
men. The writing has been on thewall for a long time
they just refuse to see it.
