NORTHERN WOMEN'S CENTRE CORRESPONDENCE ONTARIO ADVISORY COUNCIL ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN By way of introduction, a letter, plus printed material concerning the Centres' activities was mailed on January 6th, 1974 to Mr. William Saskoley of Dryden. Mr. Saskoley is an appointed member of the Ontario Advisory Council on the Status of Women. Mr. Saskoley is the only Council representative northwest of Sudbury. We invited Mr. Saskoley to come and speak to us (at some future date), on the activities of the Advisory Council. There was an immediate response from Mr. Saskoley, he was very happy to receive our letter as he was not aware that there was such a women's group serving the women of Thunder Bay and district. At his suggestion, he will be forwarding copies of all the Council meeting minutes to our Centre. It is hoped he will be able to come and speak to our group in the not too distant future.

From this committee came a Plan For Action Green Paper (booklet). For those not familiar with this paper we will be printing some of its recommendations and urge you to respond by writing The Honourable Robert Welch Provincial Secretary for Social Development North Wing, Main Parliament Building Queen's Park TORONTO, Ontario M7A 1A2 Recommendation 3 We recommend that the federal, provincial and territorial governments to: (a) make greater use of Women's voluntary associations; and (b) increase their financial support to: i) women's voluntary associations engaged in projects of public interest, and ii) voluntary associations working in fields of particular concern to women.

We went straight to Marg Lanchok's house where we ate and drank our fill before dashing off to the school for a showing of the Marion Kantaroff video tape from the Conference. It sparked off a discussion that lasted over two hours - mainly because we had some visitors who had come to provide a united opposition to the movement. To some of us it appeared they were not as diametrically opposed as they seem to think. After the verbal free-for-all we all went back to Marg's for a wine-and-cheese/sauna/pyjama party. A couple of us went out to billet in other homes. The next day, we put on a magnificent show. We had informative workshops, including CR (Estelle), Memorial Society (Lucy) and Stereotyping in the the Text Books (Susan). The play "A Man Has His Pride" was performed a second time. We had plenty of displays as well (books, crafts, OISE women's kit). Everyone who had a part did a superb job. A special thanks to Marion whose experience with craft exhibits, and whose personal craft collection, were invaluable. The only saddening note was the relatively poor turn out, but we received suggestions from Nipigon women on how we could keep such a thing happening again (and we will try again). We'll discuss these and other suggestions at our next Women's Centre Meeting. ONTARIO NATIVE WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION & THUNDER BAY ANISHNABEQUEK An election was held in December by our local branch. It was decided that a young executive be elected. The following girls were elected: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Beverly Sabourin Sarah Sawanis Lillian Alto Peggy Palkert The Provincial and local organizations combined forces and hosted a dinner and social hour at the Prince Arthur Hotel for the delegates of the Federation of Friendship Centres who met here in Thunder Bay. Members of the International Students Organization, located at the Lakehead University were also invited to the social hour. Members from this group represent countries such as Rhodesia, Africa; Guyana, South America; Jamaica and Malaysia.

I see abortion as a non- solution,and concerned about the problems permissive abortion itself might create for women and society. Several points deserve particular attention. Although abortion irreversibly eliminates one part of the problemthe unwanted baby- it does not deal with the underlying social and economic pressures which cause a women to so totally reject her unborn baby that she seeks its destruction.

It is impossible not to share their angu!sh and protest with them against the destruction of a human organism. Most heartbreaking to me is the rejection of the healthy unborn whose mothers did not use contraceptives and ended the pregnancy because of economic and social pressures. These women would have made truly wonderful mothers. I would therefore like us to take another step forward, that is, agitate as vigorously for guaranteed incomes for single parent families, as recumilei,ded in the Report on the Status of Women in Canada. Children with single parents can have a happy childhood providing the parent is economically independent and spends a goodly portion of time with them. These children grow up to be self-reliant and sensitive human beings. My gless is thet the majority of the 300,000 boys who are crying for Big Brothers are unhappy products of incompatible couples who stayed together too long. Children of an early established single parent family are spared this kind of discord. An unwilling parent should be set free promptly for the sake of the children. For this reason we should also extend the guaranteed income to mothers with daddies in residence, as soon as possible. If the size of the single parent families where the mother is the sole parent should grow too rapidly, we may anticipate that the government will make all haste to establish birth control and sterilization programmes for irresponsible males.

Slick ad copy--"Keep her where she belongs..." or porno flicks--"Hips and tits" --it's all the same in the lace ghetto. (Obviously. Whether you are a rich good nigger or a poor bad nigger, you are still a nigger.) Come one, come all, step right up--everyone's a victim. Children, men, and women (1T.n alphabetical order) are spotlighted in this life tragedy. An overview of reasons for the women's movement, "The Lace Ghetto" shows brutal shards of truth in nine major areas, including CR. The authors' interpretations are often suspect, but the raw data are there for you--and certainly need no interpretation. You cannot help but be moved by this showdase of ignorance and heartbreak. Deprecating advertisements, cartoons, selected quotes, the "hidden persuaders" that distort women's value, are naked on the pages--shown for what they are- along with transcribed discussions, that show what they have done. The authors do not seek to liberate women into the roles that men now play- and they also recognize that freedom will be a new, and possibly frightening, burden: Perhaps books like theirs will make women courageous enough to risk the bearing of it. Lace Ghetto is a highly emotional book, and is also easy and fast reading-idael for newcommers, and rejuvenating those who have begun to feel that "what's-it-all-for, -anyhow,- I'm-just-knocking-my-head-against-a-stone-wall" syndrome.

Title A name given to the resource Northern Woman Journal Description An account of the resource Northern Woman Journal Published in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Northern Woman Journal (originally called Northern Woman) started in 1973 following the first annual Northern Women’s Conference in order to keep the conference attendees connected. Initially serving as a newsletter of events, local issues, and women’s resources, the Northern Woman Journal quickly became a diverse publication reaching national and international readers. Not only did it serve as a newsletter to keep local women up to date on feminist issues in Northwestern Ontario, but also as a safe space to discuss women’s resources, law, politics, economics, health, racism, sexism, homophobia, feminist organizing and activism, transnational feminist issues, poetry, feminist reading, feminist art, and women’s diverse lived experiences.One of the longest-running feminist perodicals in North America, the Northern Woman Journal reached its end in 1995. Throughout its 22 years, the Northern Woman Journal was produced by its many collective members, with membership evolving year to year. For many years, the journal worked closely alongside and shared space with the Northern Women’s Centre and the Northern Women’s Bookstore. With the exception of a year-long government grant in the 1970s, the journal relied entirely on subscription fees and donations in order to maintain publishing, which presented challenges throughout its entire existence. As stated in an early version of the editorial policy, “only by a free and open exchange of views and opinions will we develop a basis for unity which can be used as a basis for action.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
