'.,Womcin Senator Says Equal Pay Mdkes Men's Jobs Safe
()'lTAWA (CPI-Canada's male ”.'(Vl'li2I'S have nothing to fear from 'r"-rnl legislation providing equal pay for women doing the same xrrv-:k as men in industry under federal jurisdiction. a woman sen- ator said Friday.
Mrs. Muriel Fergusson (L-New Brunswick) said that equal pay for women adds security to the jos of mbale employees because in bad times they would not fear that an employer would hire lower-paid women to do their jobs.
Mrs. Fergusson was sponsoring in the Senate legislation providing equal pay for women. The meas- ure. passed by the Commons last Monday. was whipped through the upper house unopposed in less than an hour.
The woman senator said the hill, long sought by women's or- ganizatinns in Canada. "is I log- ical further step in the direc- tion nf granting equal rights to women." it would affect some 72,000 women in industries regu- lated by federal labor laws.
PAY SAME TAXES
Mrs. Fergusson said the argu- ment that men require higher sal- aries than women because they have to support families is a dis- crimination based on the sex of the employee
Many women who work were widows supporting children and they were entitled to the same pay aa' men for doing the same work.
Women paid the same taxes as men and their costs of living were not lower than those oof male work ers.
Mme Mariana Jodin IL-Que becl said the bill will help give working women the same security -as men. It represented an act of justice towards working women.
She said she hopes the federal measures will be followed by sini- ilar legislation in five oi the 10 provinces which have not adopted the principle so far.
Ontario, Saskatchewan. British Columbia. Manitoba and Nova Scotia all have equal pay for women legislation.

Gala Fair Days Are Here
By this time The Fair of Old Home Week is in full swing. Though each one "hath its charms" this, we have always con- sidered down the years. is one of the best of its days. From many byways and highways of the Is- Ind and afar, cars will be con- verging this morning on that place of our Capital-city so full now of sound and color, of life and magic and charm. Youngsters we think of them. How happy they will be to revisit it. or no enthralled at a first visit, eyes full of wonderment over its fairy- Iike quality, as were those of their parents and grandparents when they first experienced its thrill in days now bygone. The older folks too, who search out and en- joy its substance. and like also its mappings, will feel their hours there well spent. not lost indeed if they so much as greet a friend of former days whom distance and

an interval. "There's only one Summer to a year- and only one Old Home Week to a Summer one smiled recently when a tan- talizing shadow of the event was already appearing on his horizon.

Keep 'em home then? This is practical experience in a phase- and an extremely interesting one. of livestock husbandry is among those factors which we are sure will do its part to "keep the boys down on the farm." We shall give the younger ones to classes but what a chore it will be

Dear Mary Hawnrtb I am 31 years old. Five years Hf-'.0 nivl fiance died. During the wars we-l ceding our engagement. and since then. I have had several mar-. riage proposals-but never fcit um I was in love uith any of these other men.
However. some weeks at!" I met a very mature and inleilii-'.0Yll young man who is 23. We were very much attracted to each other at first meeting. He is an Army otffii-er and is being sent to school several hundred miles from here.
I have had three letters from
mutual sex attraction. But Mcauaa you are afraid of your own mo- tions, in a prospective exchange with the young man.
You feel rather seriously smit- tea with him already. in the sense of being conscious of a strong of his comparative juvenllity, in contrast to your 31 years and larger social experience. you don't quite know how to lead out" in the relationship. or what object- ives to aim at-in short, who her to view him as a possible ' us- band for yourself.
As between good friends. of the same or opposite sex. an "unorth- odox" difference in ages just does not matter. Everybody takes that for granted in adult life. so ob- viously you are urgently preoc- cupied. unconsciously. with a sort of half-strangled desire to marry -the fellow.
