34 — THE CITIZEN, Prince George — Wednesday, February 10, 1982 Kay spicer says book displays may take 12 hours’ preparation. OTTAWA (CP)-Justice Minister Jean Chretien said Monday he has appointed more women judges in the last 22 months “than any administration since Confederation.” And the government will continue to look for qualified women when vacancies occur, he told Progressive Conservative women’s critic Flora MacDonald who complained that only 26 of some 666 federally-appointed judges are female. Chretien has a chance to ‘‘redress this imbalance” because 23 judicial vacancies exist. (The number fell later Monday to 21 as Chretien announced the appointment of two male judges to fill vacancies on the New Brun-wick Court of Queen’s Bench.) OTTAWA (CP) - Ever since the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in the late 1920s that women weren’t people, many women have regarded the court as an allmale chauvinist bastion. “I can’t think of a single case affecting women in which they (the Supreme Court) did the right thing the first time around,” says Doris Anderson, a leading spokesman for women. The court was over-ruled by the Privy Council in Britain in the celebrated “persons” case of the 1920s. Since then, says Anderson, native Indian women have had to go to international forums to get support for their case against the Indian Act. The court ruled in 1973 that a section of the act requiring Indian women to give up treaty rights when they marry non-Indians was dicriminatory but valid. In the same year, it outraged women by ruling that Irene Murdoch, after a 25-year marriage in which she had worked with her husband to build a ranch in Alberta, had no claim to the assets. The court eventually reversed itself, ruling that women who have contributed to assets acquired during a marriage must be given a fair share when the marriage ends. Now spokesmen like Anderson, former editor of Chatelaine magazine and former president of the Advisory Council on the Status of Women, say the time is ripe for appointment of a woman to the court. Anderson says the Progressive Conservative government missed an opportunity to appoint a first-class woman to the court when it passed up Claire L’Heureux-Dube of Quebec in favor of Julien Chouinard in 1979. L’Heureux-Dube, 54, is a member of the Quebec Court of Appeal and has a solid background in consumer and family law. Another chance,perhaps the last of the decade, com- es this week when Mr. Justice Ronald Martland, who .wrote the judgment in the Murdoch case, retires Wednesday at the age of 75. Speculation has focused on Madame Justice Bertha Wilson of the Ontario Court of Appeal as the most likely female candidate. Wilson was born in northern Scotland and emigrated to Canada with her husband John, who served as a Presbyterian chaplain. She graduated from Dalhousie University law school in 1958 and joined the Toronto law firm of Osier, Hoskin and Harcourt the next year. Don't overcook expert advises TORONTO (CP) - So you followed the recipe and the dish tastes great. But it just doesn’t look the way it did in the magazine. What happened? Chances are it never will look exactly like the photograph. Food stylists could easily have spent two 12-hour days making sure everything was perfect. This would include a day of shopping, hand-picking ingredients, and a day in the studio, arranging everything from removing wrinkled peas to brushing away untidy crumbs. Although the homemaker cannot possibly go to all this effort, the experts say there are some special touches that will ensure your culinary efforts look their Sunday best. The most important of these, advises Kay Spicer, a home economist and food stylist, is don't overcook. ‘‘Overcooked foods are just not appealing. Vegetables discolor and other things look mushy and that makes a less attractive plate.”. The second thing to remember is to avoid overhandling. For example, a salad only needs to be gently tossed once or twice, Spicer says, and never stirred. “Serve the food hot and fresh. Don’t let it stand around. When laying food on the plate, put everything in its own specific area. Brush off any crumbs. Wera You Stuck At Horne This Weekend?
