Man's

WOr;r

id could

use a female touch

Dear Editor:

I'ma 25-year-old mass, single, and a little ashamed.
It's a man’s world, so they say, but if that’s the case it
could use a female touch. Let me explain.

A close friend of mine is a single mother with two

children. Pve known her for three-and-a-half vears

a fair and equitable manner.

She deals with constant come-ans. She deals with
the responsibility and the reality of supporting and
caring for a family.
teachers, day care, babysitters...nved fo on?

A man couldn't handle the life of this close, dear

She deals with the housework,

now, and, believe me, it's been an eye-opening expe-
rience. I've been fortunate enough to see how it is to
live on the female side of the tracks, moreover, the
divorced fernale side.

Since day one she’s dealt with the court system, a
system which seems determined to make it as bloody
hard as possible for women to obtain even a reason-
able life for themselves and their children. She's dealt
with Revenue Canada, an unforgiving, blood-sucking
bureaucracy which seems unable to enforce its rules in

frignd of mine. Mm certain of that. During all of the
stress, she’s mapawed to keep it all together. She's fit,
healthy, sane, and without sounding chauvinistic. a
very attractive oman indeed,

I've always respected women in general more than |
have men. Vhe past three years have further
strengthened that respect. As for the other half of the
human race, take a closer look, gents, and appfeciate.

Editor should support

sacredness

Dear Editor:

I have in front of me two News
Viewpoints from recent editions of
your paper. In both editions, the
editor supports strongly the pro-
choice side on the issue of ‘safe,
therapeutic hospital abortion(s).”’

He fails to indicate what is
“safe’? or ‘‘therapeutic’’ about
abortion, either for the pregnant
woman or the mutilated baby. He
should invite an informed medical
doctor to give readers such infor-
mation.

His concluding sentence in a re-
cent paper was provocative:
“‘North Shore residents have
recognized that the relationship
between a doctor and his patient is

of all lite

right to choose.’’ The science of
fetology, recognized by all medical
doctors us a valid discipline, treats
an unborn baby as a patient. The
editor of the News should do like-
wise and support the principle of
the sacredness of the relationship
between doctors and ail patients.

The editor should also be aware
many modern fathers ure present
at the very births of their babies
and wish to be considered, along
with their wives, in all decisions
affecting the lives of their babies.

The editor of a local newspaper,
serving the needs of the whole
community, should be objective
through ail issues and concerns of
the community.
