n FOR nearly 20 years the name Emily Murphy has stood
for safery. Run by the North Shore Crisis Services
Society, Emily Murphy House has provided free emer-
gency shelter, counselling and support services to women
and children living in, or fleeing from, abusive relation-
ships. But after a year- Jong debate the board has renamed
its shelter to SAGE Transition House — an acronym for
Shelter, Advocacy, Growth and Empowerment, and sug-
gested by a woman staying at the home. Emily Murphy,
the first female judge in the British Empire, was one of
the so-called “Famous Five” women who led the fight to
change Canadian law and allow women to be recognized as persons. But Muzphy has
come under fire for her views on blacks, Jews and eastern Europeans, and advocating
‘eugenic sterilization. Is this a politically correct decision or historic revisionism?

Crist agreed with Bell that

Crist, a longtime advocate of
