Doctors take
more active
abuse role

TORONTO (CP) — The Ontario
Health Association is encouraging
the province's doctors to take a more
active role in identifying cases of wife
assault and referring abused patients
to professionals for councelling.

An OMA brochure, Physicians’
Guide to Helping the Battered Wom-
an, was produced in response to
studies that showed at least one in
four women co-habiting with a man is
assaulted, and that wife abuse ac-
counts for more than half of all mur-
ders of women in Canada.

Brochures describing courses of
action for doctors faced with a
suspected battering case are being
distributed to Ontario physicians.
An information package provides
names and numbers for their patients
to find help locally.

Being a newspaper carrier is one of the best ways
to learn some all-important lessons

Carriers learn that just having a job feels good
That people sometimes really do slam doors
in your face (no matter how nice you are)
They learn how to handle money. including
the responsibility of handling somebody
else’s. They learn that a job. unlike a ball
game. doesn't get called off because

of bad weather.

And they learn that most wonderful feeling —
the satisfaction of a job well done

If you know a young person who might &
like to try being a carrier for our newspa

per, have them call our circulation de

ly. ‘I’m looking for a mas-
ter to show me the proper way of
womanhood."’
Next come the brash tones of a
30-year-old married man pitching for
‘a broad-minded female’’ who has
free time on weekday mornings.
“You won't be "he

than print — that helps a lot of
people,"’ Chamandy said in an inter-
view

through the service.
One such lucky advertiser was
Sabrina th. The 16-year-old

by
naturally.

It began last fall when Chamandy
and Lum came up with the idea of
telephone classified ads.

TALKING ADS

“Our idea was to turn it into a

section of talk-

pledges.

Electric-guitar strains herald the
recorded message of a teenage girl
who ‘‘likes partying, music and
hanging around with my friends.”

They're all part of the latest tele-
communications twist to the urban
quest for companionship: telephone
personal ads.

Logically enough,
called Telepersonals.

For $15, a companion-speaker can
record a message, which will be
played for a week to callers phoning
the Telepersonals number advertised
in local publications.

For another $15, the advertiser
gets a voice mailbox — an answering
service to record replies from callers
responding to-the ads.

WIDE RANGE

The dial-a-date service aims liber-
ally at singles, couples, straights.)
gays and bisexuals, offering such
subcategories as ‘‘long-term,’’
*‘casual,’’ ‘‘friends,’’ ‘‘telephone
comanions”’ and ‘‘fantasies.’’

Ads for ‘‘escorts’’ and other paid
“adult services’’ are reached through
a separate phone number.

“It's a meeting place that’s no
different than going to a bar or any of
the conventional ways of meeting
people,’’ says Dave Chamandy, 26,
who runs the service with partner
Edward Lum.

Chamandy says the service gets
more than 4,500 calls a day on its 12
telephone lines.

“People can convey their person-
alities over the phone in words rather

ing ads. You'd have cars, merchan-
dise and so on. We decided at the
last minute to throw in_a little com-
panions section.

“*We discovered no one was listen-
ing to the car and merchandise ads.
Everybody was listening to the com-
panion ads.”’

Chamandy, who plans to expand
the service to other cities in Canada
and the United States, said several
callers have reported meeting mates

Toronto musician ran a rhyming ad
and hooked up with a 23-year-old
tock drummer.

“I had been told about the service
and I just tried it for something to
do,"’ said Sankarsingh, whose replies
“filled two books with names and
phone numbers.”’

“You get a lot of weird ones,"’
said, without elaborating.

Most of the advertisers are men,
Chamandy said. In fact, the service
now offers free ads to females to
balance the sexual ledger.

Some of the ring-and-swing ads
are somewhat graphic and suggestive
— “‘liberal,”’ as Chamandy puts it.

“We don’t discriminate. It’s a
meeting place like any other.’’

Study finds men
too concerned

GENEVA (REUTER) — There
might be fewer lesbians and homo-
sexuals if men were kinder to women
and less concerned with their sexual
performance, a United Nations report
Says.

The 34-page document on the
problems of sexual minorities, draf-
ted by Jean Fernand-Laurent, a for-
mer French “ambassador to the UN
European Office in Geneva, says so-
ciety has probably overemphasized
the differences between the sexes.

“It is. . . likely that the assertion

“There would be less impotence
and homosexuality if men did not feel
called on by the social model (of
virility) to achieve with their female
partners an exceptionally high level
of sexual performance.”’

The report, released Tuesday will
be discussed at a four-week session
of the 26-member UN Sub-Commis-
sion on Prevention of Discrimination
and Protection of Minorities that
opened Monday.

It suggests that all sexual practices
between

of a purported male
had a deeply disturbing effect on
many women, and that there would
be fewer lesbians if men were able to

has be

adults if they are done privately and
do not offend public decency. Viol-
ence or discrimination because of
sexual should be illegal,

be more more
and more tactful.

according to the report.

Miniskirts demeaning?

EDMONTON (CP) — It has been
hailed by some women as proof that
feminism works. Others say it has
eroded some of the gains made by
the women’s movement.

So rages the debate over the mini-
skirts and other more feminine clo-
thing show that women have gained
from feminism.

“It’s not putting us back; we’ve
moved ahead,’’ she says. ‘‘We no
longer have to emulate a man.
Women are proud to be women.

“‘Hem-lines are not the issue now.
It’s freedom of choice.”’

PAST IS BACK

Recent trends in women’s clothing
have dipped back decades. Bows and
flowers are back on big, crinolined
skirts, reminiscent of the delicate
heroines of Gone with the Wind.

Hem-lines have risen well above
the knee and skimpy blouses are
baring navels.

Exposing more skin is for the first
time since the late 1960s.

Such trends accent the sexual in-
stead of practical uses for clothes,
says Erwin, adding that this reaf-

graduates
with honors

Garrett Swetlikoff, son of George
and Florence Swetlikoff of Slocan
Park, has graduated with honors
from the John Bastyr College in
Seattle, with the degree of Doctor of
Naturopathic Medicine.

Garrett Swetlikoff graduated from
Mount Sentinel secondary school in
South Slocan in 1980. He received his
pre-medical education at Selkirk Coll-
ege and Simon Fraser University. He
and his wife, Tammy, are currently
residing in Seattle.

she wrote.

“Feminine clothing has

Erwin doesn’t buy the
that women have gained enough
security to be ble to dress any way
they wish.

Feminism has allowed women
some choice about what they wear,
she says; they no longer have to wear
heavy sandals and army pants to
prove they are feminists.

But not all restrictions are gone.’’ I
think it’s a little dangerous to assume
we could wear whatever we want.’’

MESSAGE MIXED

Rhonda Hammer, a Toronto sociol-
ogy student, says the new clothes
“send mixed messages . . . (but)
that’s the way our lives work.

“I want to look attractive and I
want to wear what I feel like,”’ she
says. ‘I think we have progressed
radically.’”

In a study called Femininity pub-
lished in 1985S, author-feminist Susan
Brownmiller pointed out that skirts
restrict expansive gestures and large,
free movements.

‘One does not stride’ in a skirt,

for that would be a contradiction in
terms.

“Functional clothing is a mascu-
line privilege and practicality is a
masculine virtue.

“To be truly feminine is to accept
the handicap of restraint and re-
striction and to come to adore it.’’

Clothing choice can also be an
economic issue.

Some women feel they have to
dress in feminine clothes to attract a
mate, says Eli-Ann Silverman, a
women’s studies | professor at the
Univeristy of Calgary. This is par-
ticularly true, she says, in a society
where women are still on the low end
of the pay scale.

Statistics Canada says women with
a high school education earned an
average $17,176 in 1986 while men
with the same education earned
$26,594. Women with university de-
grees earned an average $29,474
while men with the same education
earned $43,692.

Library booming

By JUDY WEARMOUTH
Librarian

Business is flourishing at the
library as people realize what a cool
oasis the building is during a heat
wave. The reading program con-
tinues to be a great success.

The summer students are using
imaginative crafts and themes to

board member and librarian. Her last
day will be Friday, Aug. 12 and the

their names to the office as soon as
possible.
