Vi @ c Get Your ot COHOE INSURANCE 1127-4th St., Castlegar DIVORCED DADS FIGHTING FOR EQUAL RIGHTS MONTREAL (CP) — A recent Sunday was fairly typical for Tom Huston except that after dropping his son and daughter at their mother’s house, he drove downtown to preside over the first meeting of Fathers for Equality in Divorce, or FED. “Men can put pressure on a judge,” insists Huston, a 41-year-old Montreal high school teacher involved in a custody battle with his ex-wife. “Too many men go into court with their tail between their legs” he said. “They don't want to disturb His Lordship. We don't want men to pack it in in the face of the figure: In custody cases, the figures Huston refers to read like a body count. A Statistics Canada book, Divorce: Law and the Family in Canada, says mothers were granted custody in approximately six of seven cases between 1969 and 1979. When the mother petitioned for custody she won 95.7 per cent of the time, when the father asked for custody, he won in 42.6 per cent of cases. One of the principles of FED is that all things being equal, a man can be as good or bad a parent as a woman, and the custody percentages should not be so skewed. “I'm not in the least against the women's movement,” says Huston. “I support many of their goals. But what we're talking about here is justice.” Guest speaker Brian Demaine told the 10 men who turned out for the FED organizational meeting that women have a wider support system. “Men don't stick together,” he said. “They don’t unite. There are no parallel support services for men, no referral services for men.” Demaine, founder of Men's Rights Action Group, told the gathering that men should have a crisis centre (“Men have crises, too"), a custody action group and a lawyer referral service. Not only did Demaine, who like Huston is a teacher, win a custody fight for his two sons, he is being paid child support — currently $207.50 a month — by his ex-wife. This, he says, ranks him with a fraction of less than one per cent of all divorced Canadian men. “It's time for men to get a little radical,” said Demaine. When he suggested his group and FED members picket the courthouse over the custody issue, some of the men demurred, apparently uneasy at the thought of a picket line. But their cause is not hopeless. Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which took effect recently states, in part: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination . . .

The disease is so debilitating and his health so unpredictable he can no longer work. incapacity, Workers’ Compensation Board has ruled that Glaser has only a 40-per-cent disability and his benefits are the provincial that limited. The only part of his health problem resulted from exposure to asbestos. As a result, Glaser and his wife Elizabeth say they are forced to rely on their savings to survive financially. When the Ontario government appointed a royal commission in April 1980 to look into asbestos-related disease, the Glasers thought they. would get some encouraging news. But now, almost a year after the royal commission filed its report, Glaser and other asbestos victims say their situation is no better. “I had hopes before,” said Glaser, who is the last survivor of a five-man work crew. “But they (the board) keep dragging it out, and passing the buck and waiting nd you will die and that will be the end of and waiting, it.” Late last year, the province amended the Workers’ Compensation Act to include some recommendations of provisions for women whose husbands died after even mild or moderate forms of asbestos disease, and a policy that would give the benefit of the doubt to injured workers whose claims are difficult to resolve. The commission ranked the exposure to asbestos of about 700 workers at the Johns-Manville plant a “world class occupational health disaster.” But what haunts people like Glaser is that, although they were not told of the dangers, the hazards of asbestos have been known since, the turn of the century. “I used to lie awake at night — it would give me nightmares,” Glasser said unwitting exposure. “I would wake up in a sweat; the unfairness of it, the ugliness.” It was evidence of that personal distress that of his discovery of his prompted the logical impairment. the widow. appeal board. the ission, such as an i But several that asb victims not say would give them and their families immediate relief have been ignored.

The emergency-room doctor gave the Toronto saying there was a connection between the cardiac failure and the underlying asbestosis. Because Shorting had been receiving a 20-per-cent disability award before his death, instead of 100 per cent, his wife did not qualify for any pension. The royal commission stated that in such cases of medical uncertainty, the benefit of the doubt should go to Shorting plans to appeal the board's decision after a new independent appeal panel is formed July 1.

The massive study spon- sored by the National Cancer Institute of Canada and Pacific Western lowers the cout of raising special deal EDMONTON (CP) — At least one tavern. manager in Edmonton is trying to ease the drinking-and-driving problem. John Cucheron, manager of Johnny C's in north Ed monton, has started a pro- gram under which a desig nated driver is selected from a group and given free non alcoholic beverages. Patrons who have had too much to drink are given a voucher good for $1.50 off a taxi fare. The designated-driver pro- gram is being promoted by a service club and was first introduced in the central Al berta city of Red Deer. Cucheron said the cost of providing one person at a table of four with a non alcoholic beverage reduces sales by only one per cent because the others make up the difference. “People are more relaxed because they know how they’re going to get home,” he said in an interview, adding he hopes the system will be picked up by other bar owners. Fee for shopping VICTORIA (CP) — Linda Gee has taken the burden out of grocery shopping for work ing couples who don't want to spend hours behind the shop- ping cart For a fee of $25 a trip, the 37-year-old mother of two will do it for them — and en. sure her customers get the best price, freshest vege tables and leanest cuts of meat in town By buying at low prices, Gee aims to recoup for her customers nearly all the money they pay her in fees, and her clients never have to leave home. to her customers. Customers tick off items they want on a master list Gee has compiled that in cludes virtually every gro- cery item a family could want. She also has permis sion from her customers to change brands if price or quality is better.

Approximately 75 per cent of the participants, recruited in major cities over the past five years, are screened for cancer and asked to return for annual examinations three or four times. The other 25 per cent send in an annual questionnaire. Women in the study are taught breast self-examina tion and early analysis shows women are practising it. On entry into the study, half the women said they don't do self-examination.
