‘ CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 21, 1960 VICTORIA REPORT Female Vote. Not For Wemen By James K,. Neabltt Big-time, high-brass U.S, Dem- Ocrat Mrs. Indin Edwards says wo- men don't support thelr own sex in the polling booths — that's why, she says, there'll never be a female president of the United States, ‘This column has long suspected this, has-sald so insprint. Women have vehemently, in ‘halr-pulling; fashion, denied it; but there's no way of definitely knowing as long Qs our balloting is ‘secret. In the old days in B.O, ballot- ing was open — a show of, hands in the town square, But then wo- not run for public office. Indecd any self-respecting woman in those days had no political opinions whatsoever, leaving auch matters to the men, and there's no indication People were any worse oft then than now, The women don’t Ike being told they don't vote for women but otherwise how can Park Purchase Gets September Deadline Castlegar has until September to decide whether it can dfford to buy parkland in the Shewchuk subdivision, village council was told at a recent meeting. Pete Shewchuk issued the two- month deadline after the village discovered it has no authority to tle up future councils with the $2,- 400 payment for three lots, or even td buy one lot and take out options on the other two. ‘The lots are the ones suggested by the Ratepayers’ Association to council as suitable for a park serv- ing that part of the village, but the cost of $2,400 is greater than the parks allocation for this year. Comm. Aage Sylvest had sug- gested buying one of the $800 lots and taking out an option on the other two, but under existing law this impossible, Mr. Sylvest later suggested that an informal agreement to buy - the Innd be made with Mr, Shewchuk we explain. the: fact- that so few women in -B.C.’ have been elected to our Legislature: — only 10 in more than 40 years, though hun- dreds_ have run, The 10 who-have made history: Liberals Mrs. Mary Ellen .Smith and Mrs. Helen Douglas. Smith; C.C.Fers. Mrs, Dorothy Steves, Mrs, Laura, Jamieson and Mrs, Tilly Rolston and Liberal Mrs, Nancy Hodges (though these two, by the exigencies of politics were forced together in coalition, and didn’t like it); Social Credit Mrs. Lydia Arsens; and now, 8.C. Mrs, Buda Brown of Vancouv Grey and C.C.F. Mrs, Lois Haggen of Grand Forks-Greenwood, From this lst we may judge that spinsters have on even tough- er tme gettMg elected than mar- ried women, Indeed, spinsters have’ had no breaks at all. Why do wo- men suspect-a spinster even more than women with husbands, Tt ap- Pears they do. * Women cry aloud, and in much anguish, for what they call women's rights, equality for women and all instead, but surveying costs hinder this move, that sort of thing; they say they'll support women candidates — say .
