fi seesvasencaiien: new Citizenship Act, which was approved last month by both the House of Commons and the Senate, will come into effect early next year, I am advise by the NDS DISCRIMINATION This legislation contains some major changes in features of the previous law. Until now, there were a number of areas in which women were treated on an unequal basis when it came to the question of citizen- ship. The new law changes these. For instance, either a mother or father of a minor child may make application new law, the non-Canadian wife of a Canadian husband now only has to meet the same residency requirements (three years) as those which must be met Canadian wife had to meet stricter requirements. A special feature of the Cilizenship on behalf of a child who was born abroad toa Canadian mother under the present Citizenship Act. Currently, chiidren born outside of Canada cannot claim Canadian citizenship unless their father was Canadian at lhe time of their birth.

LOWER AGE THE HERALD, Wednesday, Sepiember 8, 1976, PAGE AS citizenship has been reduced by the new law from 21 to 18. This makes it . consistent with the age limit for voting in federal elec- tidns, and reflects the changing pattern of our society in which children become independent of their new law, which is not just a revision of the old Citizenship Act, but a completely new and dif- ferent piece of legislation.

He proposes transplanting some spruce trees from another part of his property and asks the following questions: . Du spruce trees have a deep tap reot thal would make trausplanting dif- ficult? . It should be fairly-easy to transplant your spruce trees. The type of root system depends to a large extent on the type of soil the trees-are growing on. Since most of the soils around Smithers are fairly heavy, I would suspect that the root ‘system. is.’ reasonably shallow. You cauld check on this by carefully digging up one tree. What age of tree can transplanted? . 1 would suggest that you not try to transplant trees larger than about two feet tall. Larger trees can,. of course, be moved, bul require much more care, and chances of success are r, ., _ If you can root prune the irees you intend to move a year before you ‘actually transplant them, the shock of moving will be con- siderably reduced.
