Original Toronto Star caption: Feminists Beat Men-Only Rule; Women's liberation group is served with luncheon in the Princess Lounge of the Royal York Hotel when they challenged the hotel's right to reserve the room for men only. Executive assistant manager Peter McArthur told the women the reason for the rule was that the menu wouldn't appeal to women's tastes.

      Their marriage in crisis, a young couple are looking for advice from Dr. Ernest Moss, director of the Ontario Centre for Personality Development. Dr. Moss thinks that the confusion men and women have about their roles today causes problems in some marriages. The women's liberation movement has made some women more sexually aggressive and the effect can cause the husband to become temporarily impotent, the psychological says.

Men may be able to accept the idea intellectully but not be able to put it into practice and women should understand this, he says.
