Quebec, Canada, North America, even most of Europe.But to try to switch one\u2019s mind-set to truly comprehend what women undergo in some other cultures is a serious and difficult task.Sure, many - too many - North American women are abused, beaten, discriminated against in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.This is reprehensible, but considered to be an aberration from the commonly- accepted norms of our society.But to understand what it means to be a woman in some cultures involves a quantum leap in perception.The only explanation we can conceive of, for some of the things that are done to women, is that she is simply not considered fully human in the way that men are.In other words, men are human, women are something less, in the minds of those who hear women\u2019s words as noise rather than speech, who think that women\u2019s souls (if they are allowed any at all) are incapable of the moral perfectibility of men\u2019s souls.To abuse a woman is more like abusing an animal than another human being; it just doesn\u2019t need to be taken too seriously.There are people in our culture who decry the \u201cstrident\u201d cries of women for equal rights, equal treatment, equal value.But here at least it is conceded that women's words are in the same language as men\u2019s: they can be understood intellectually, even if they are not heeded or acted on.It is almost impossible to imagine the reality faced by millions of other women who know that no man of their acquaintance will even listen to, much less comprehend, their cries for justice.Words are useless when the ears and minds are closed.There is an old joke about the man who bought a mule, having been assured that the animal was very intelligent and would respond immediately to all the usual commands.The new owner tried and tried, without success.Angry and frustrated, he went back to the vendor, who laughed, picked up a handy two-by-four, and hit the animal a solid blow between the ears.He then said, \u201cgiddap\u201d or whatever, and the mule obeyed without hesitation.The seller explained, \u201cIt\u2019s just like 1 told you - he\u2019s perfect.You just have to get his attention first.\u201d Getting attention - real, serious, respectful attention - is what it\u2019s all about.(J.T) GLEANER ARCHIVES.125 years ago- - - DOI Mérèh\"3, 1869 177111 ipacked.| Februäry closed as it began, wit snow-storms.a very violent one set in.accompanied by a high wind.the frost became intense.Mails have been most irregular.For a whole week.no mail was received by way of Franklin, an only one during that period went out.The mail from St Remi was conveyed on the shoulders of a man on snow-shoes.Storekeepers have suffered much from the interruption of business, and been, in addition, greatly put about by the difficulty of getting freight from town.Until the late frost there was crossing on the St Lawrence, while the road to Caughnawaga has been impassable for loaded teams.12 feet of snow altogether has fallen during the past winter.In the woods, just now, it measures from 4 to 5, and is closely 55 years ago dr AS ha .meeting\u201d of the Directors of the Agricultural Society.probability of the petition for a second Society being withdrawn for the time being.Labouring under the difficulties entailed upon i by the disastrous loss of its two horses, the Directors naturally wish that no division should take place just now, but, we believe, had the people of Hemmingford and Havelock insisted on separating, no opposition would have been made, as it has always been conceded that such a demand o their part is just.As to Franklin, probably some demur would have been made as to its withdrawing.Under the present circumstances, we should be glad to have the report confirmed as to Hemmingford and Havelock waiving their rights for a time, until the old Society recovers its footing.March 8, 1939 ACADEMY JUNIOR CHOIR WINS .at the Quebec Music Festival in Montreal.they secured an honor standing of 15] points out of a possible 200.The choir included the following: Bessie Arthur, Bernice Grant, Dorothy Laurie, Gladys Tannahill, Helen Oney, Helen Cunningham, Janette Pearce, Marion Stark, Marjorie Clouston, Marjorie Caldwell, Roberta McDermid, Roberta Kelly, Alton Warden, Baird Pringle, Joe Carr, Norma Dawson, Newton Arthur, Roil Hatcher.Four members (absent due to illness) Gordon Grant, Jimmie Montle, Jimmie Bickford, Ralph Connor.SUE FOR DOG TAXES Owners of dogs at Ormstown given five days to pay taxes.otherwise the account would be handed to a lawyer for collection.OBJECTION RAISED.INDIGENT PATIENTS Mayor Faubert protests against the number of people who seek financial aid from Huntingdon as indigent patients.he expressed the opinion that there were numerous cases that were really an imposition on the town, that the town was paying for the care of indigent patients 25 years ago March 5, 1969 TRAFFIC DAMMED BY CLOGGED ROADS It blocked roads and rail traffic, threatened motorists, isolated farmers from towns and town workers from their families.Town Foreman Philibert Langervin said \u2018it was the worst one we\u2019 ve had this year\u2019.Eighteen inches of snow fell.but squally winds piled up drifts many times that height.SHAKEN OUT OF \u201cFINAL\u201d SLEEP Four Quebecers were gassed to death while waiting for help in stormbound cars.Valleyfield man Claude Noel came within minutes of joining them -

innocent in institutions run by taxpayers into bankruptcy.Now some of the same criticism is being heard about the Quebec Revenue Department.Revenue Minister André Vallerand has responded by promisingtohumanize the department and remove the \u201cirritants\u201d for taxpayers.He's chairing a 10- member committee that's been meeting every Monday for several weeks.Its mandate is to recommend administrative changes to make things less complicated for business, and procedural changes so taxpayers won't all be treated as potential cheaters.Butit\u2019s uncertain if this means any real shift in tax collecting philosophy.A memo obtained by Devoir revealed that tax collectors have been given the objective of ferreting out 30 per cent more in extra tax money for 1994-95, Vallerand has since indicated this objective will be withdrawn.Aimed at evaders \u201cThe directive is not aimed at the average citizen, just at those who are evading tax payments,\u201d said press ai Pierre Menard.The problem though is the perception that the department considers every taxpayer a potential , tax evader.:.Pierre Cléroux, Vice- .\u201cPresident of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and amember of Vallerand\u2019s committee, was stunned when he first heardaboutthe objectives.Now, he said in an interview, he thinks they'll be dropped.\u201cI'm satisfied.There does seem to be a real willingness to change things.But we'll see - the real test will be at the end when we see what's done with our report,\u201d he said.At its latest meeting, the committee agreed to recommend changes to harmonize the system of sales tax collection for small business.se About three years ago, the veil was lifted off a troubling period in recent Quebec history by Pauline Gill in her book \u201cLes religious communities, often to be medically certified as mentally incompetent.In some cases they were used as cheap labor, and were abused both physically and psychologically.For many other Children of Duplessis - so- called because the practice wassauctionedby Premier Maurice Duplessis andhis Cabinet - the book helped unleash a wave of bad memories.It also created the impetus for the \u201cChildren\u201d to come together, to find out that they were not alone, to talk, and to try and expunge the guilt and shame and bitterness that they've lived with quietly for decades.Officially, there are now 339 members of le Comité des orphelins et orphelines institutionnalisés de Duplessis.They've compiled case histories for about 2,200 people, and they estimate the total number of orphans at about 5,500.Seeking damages Abouta yearago, seven lawsüits were filed against the government and several religious institutions seeking damages of well over $1 billion.But since then, we haven't heard much.The Quebec government chose toignore pleas for a public inquiry,preferringinstead to Jet the affair wind.its.way through the courts.In January, the Committee was refused permission to use the provincial class-action fund to help pay for the lawsuits.But an appeal has been filed and will be heard later in March.Also this month, the Committee\u2019s lawyers will be in Superior Court to present preliminary arguments on the main case.If the court agrees there is material enough to proceed, the first - testimony could be heard by early summer.Meanwhile, the Sfireté du Quebec has been continuing its own criminal investigation of complaints filed by some of the orphans, and Committee lawyer Robert Fauteux believes some charges may be laid this = Name Postal Code ®a subscription e TO
