small but signifi per- centage of workers are opting for part-time em- ployment.

According to a Decem- ber, 1980, Statistics Can- ada labor force survey, about one-sixth of working Canadians are employed part-time — an estimated 1.4 million people.

Some are semi-retired and others balance their work with raising a family, travel or other interests.

Some hold permanent, part-time jobs and others share a full-time job with another worker.

An example of the latter are Elliot Paus-Jensen and Joan MacLeod, two social workers who share one job in the geriatric assessment unit at Saskatoon's Uni- versity Hospital. Each bal- ances her work with rais- ing three children.

Both women agree that while it may have been easy to find a part-time job, a part-time career was a matter requiring initi- ative, careful planning and a sympathetic employer.

JOB FLEXIBLE

They credit Don Ebert, the hospital's director of social services, and Dr. Duncan Robertson, head of geriatric medicine, for their support and willing- ness to consider a non-

Even in situations where splitting one job is impos- sible, people like optome- trist Cydney Haynes have found that permanent part- time work can fit the flex- ibility bill.

But Haynes had no trou- ble finding a sympathetic employer — she shares a prosperous Saskatoon practice with full-time ‘partner Dr. Claude Hut- ton,

HUSBAND SUPPORTIVE

After the birth of her first child, Haynes decided she “wanted to bring up the baby, to be the primary care-giver, but I didn't want to be at home full- time.”

With the encouragement of her optometrist husband Garry, Haynes hit on a 60- per-cent solution —a three- day work week.

Now, after a second child, she says the arrange- ment has worked out well, although there are still problems to be solved.

“I've come to grips with the guilt in not being at home all the time. But I do feel guilty if I go out at night, after I've worked all day. I don't want to leave the children with another babysitter in the evening. As a result, I've just stayed home.”

While there are mone- tary disadvantages to working an average of five half-days per week, both women insist that the arrangement ultimately has benefited their car- eers.

The team approach is “really helpful when you're working in a stressful sit- uation,” MacLeod says.

“I've taken a leave of ab- sence from these things. I really can't handle any more commitments. I want to maintain my individual- ity to be able to give my best to my kids, my hus- band, my job.”

Haynes says that atti- tude is reflective of a social change from the days when parents —_ especially mothers — put aside their own goals while their chil- dren were growing up.

“Our generation is a lit- tle more selfish. We want everything, families and careers.”

Brewing tempest can be dispelled

OTTAWA (CP) — Ten- sions between Canada and the United States are har- bingers of “a gathering storm,” but Paul Robinson, the new U.S. ambassador to Ottawa says the brewing tempest can be dispell

policitcally, but some Amer- ieans regard recent nation- alistic Canadian policies such as the national energy pro- gram and the Foreign Invest- ment Review Agency as un- fair-and discriminatory.

“It’s Canada’s undoubted right to determine her own destiny in all respects and certainly in energy and in investment,” Robinson said in a Standard Broadcast News interview broadcast today.

“Our only objection is that - once we've been invited in and have played a part in the development of Canada . . all of a sudden the rules have been changed . . . in the middle of play.”

The new energy policy de- mands at least 50 per cent Canadian participation in the exploitation of all new energy discoveries. The review agency scrutinizes proposed foreign investment in Canada

“I've referred in other interviews to a gathering storm,” Robinson said, “buty that doesn’t mean we can't dispell, we can't break up the storm.

“I think we can.”

The new ambassador, a Chicago stockbroker, ack- nowledged that some U.S. companies and_ politicians want President Reagan's ad- ministration to retaliate against Canada, but he noted that “it isn’t something that is sweeping the country.”

“We're not against Canada or Canadians or Canadian in- vestment,” he said. “In fact this Reagan administration is very strong for free enter- prise, free flow of capital, free flow of investments.

“And for that reason there's a natural reticence... to take action against Cana- dian interests because it would come back at us in some way.”

There is a need to know

VANCOUVER (CP) — Last spring, Jette Lees turned 60, became a grand- mother and earned her mas- ter's degree in business ad- ministration.

She also coped with severe menopausal symptoms.

“Women need to know — and men, too — that it's possible tu continue function- ing,” Lees says. “But that doesn’t mean there aren't lots of problems.”

Lees, an instructor at North Vancouver's Capilano College, agreed to talk about menopause because she be- lieves it is important for women to bring such topics into the open and dispel the myths.

Four years ago, Lees had the first inkling that her body was going through the change of life — milk, in- frequent “hot flushes.”

“At first, 1 was fascinated with the whole process,” she said. “I started doing a lot of reading about menopause, because I am interested in women and mid-age.”

She began taking 800 milli- grams of vitamin E daily and thinks it helped a bit.

BECAME SEVERE

When the flushes became more severe — up to 20 in 24 hours — Lees found some re- assurance in the fact that others didn't seem to notice her discomfort.

“When it happened, Ijust

heat. I was sure that every- one could see it,

“But once I realized that other people didn't notice, the flushing became easier to live with in a way.”

About 18 months after the flushes began, Lees began to get blinding headaches and found herself “taking Tylenol by the handful.”

She didn’t make the con- nection between her head- aches and menopause until a friend explained they were a classic

“That was the beginning of the worst time I had," Leos said. “At the end of that summer, I decided one week- end, just before the fall sem- ester began, to try estrogen.”

But before she'd had time to gee her doctor, her symp- toms disappeared and didn't return for a year. But when they returned, they returned with a vengeance.

Lees viewed estrogen as a last resort and was reluctant to take it for two reasons — the first being the fear that estrogen replacement ther- apy merely defers meno- pausal symptoms,

Her second concern was that estrogen replacement therapy has been linked to cancer of the uterus lining. But as her doctor pointed out, the fact that Lees had a hysterectomy almost 20 years earlier meant her fears were groundless.

A low dose of 0.625 mil- ligrams of Premarin, synthe- tic estrogen, gave Lees im- mediate relief.

“Of course, it's. possible that I'd just hit a phase similar to the one a year earlier, when the symptoms more of less disappeared,” she said.

“But about a month ago, I began to reduce the does, taking a tablet every other day, and I developed severe headaches again.”

She believes women who consider taking estogen must weight the benefits against the risks,

“Some women have a lot of symptoms and some have none. For those who do have symptoms, there are some helpful doctors available and good reading material on the whole question of estrogena and vitamins.

“For goodness sake, go and get whatever help there is.”
