Minority women
a ir concerns
The needs ami problems of
m inority women will le given
particular attention In pro-
giam s of the UJ>. I lepartment
of Labor's Women's Bureau
during fiscal 1973.
"W e are looking forward to
working more closely with m i
nority women In the coming
year,” says M rs . Elizabeth
Duncan Koontz, Deputy Assis
tant Secietary of Labor and
D irecto r of tie Bureau.
"W e receiver! a great deal of
Information about (he needs of
m inority women and some new
Ideas for serving them In re
cent meetings with these wo
m en," she said. "M in o rity
groups have. In tie past, ex
pressed dissatisfaction with
programs of the Department
ami tie Women's Bureau, so
we decided togodlrectly to the
women In an effort to establish
a tw o-w ay communication
Channel."
Women In all groups feel
their needs had leen over
looked In the past and they
asked for closer liaison with
(lie Bureau. They especially
want an opportunity to have
some Input Intofutureplanning
of programs designer! to meet
then needs. They pointer! out
the dearth of Information
about their particular groups
and caller] fo r more research
and published data concerning
their economlc.clvll and poli
tical status. It was generally
felt that the Women’ s Bureau
should be expanded so the
more time and attention could
be g iven to the problems of m i
nority women.
"Miss Oregon
Teenager"
Portland may soon claim as
one of Its residents "M iss
Oregon Teen A ger." Gwendo
lyn Faith Wilson has entered
the National I een A ge r p ag-
eant, a contest based on scho
lastic achievement, civic con
tributions, poi9e, personality
and appearance. Faith meets
those standards with thehigh-
est degree of excellence.
Faith, 15 years old and soon
to be a Junior at Jefferson
High School, Is a 4.0 student.
That's quite an accomplish
ment for anyone, but Faith
achieved her high marks while
adjusting to (he many different
schools necessitated by her
father's fteqoent transfers.
M r . Wilson is retired a fte r20
years with the U ^ .A lr F o r c e .
During his active service the
fam ily lived In four different
states and two foreign coun
tries .
Faith la responsible for
chartering a new club at Jef
ferson this year. With 14 ac
tive members. Big Brothers
and Sisters Club sponsors a
Navaho Indian student at a
boarding school In Winslow,
A r i z o n a . Earning fu n d s
through various projects, the
g irl receives clothing and
school supplies.
Faith also sponsors another
student at the school from her
own earnings. ShewasanNYC
w otker at Albina M u lti-S e r
vice Center after school and
last summer where she op
erated the phone c o n s o le ,
klentlflcatlon equipment and
xerox copy machine. She has
also heen a volunteer aid for
YWCA field trips and swim
ming classes.
This summer Faith hopes to
work at Emanuel Hospital as a
nurse’ s aid. She wants to be a
Navy doctor eventually. Her
life as an " A i r Force brat"
may 1« partially responsible
for her present fascination
with the Navy. Outside of her
Interests In medicine and the
Navy, she admits having an
urge to tra v e l.
Faith Is gaining Job exper
ience beyond the average of
most IS-year olds, and exper
ience through her leadership
in academics and school acti
vities. H er initiative In enter
ing the National Teen Ager
Pageant should be rewarded
with support from the commu
nity. Faith’ s sponsors, the
Oklahoma A m b a s s a d o r 's
Clut^ have provided funds for
her room and board at the Ya
kima Pageant, hut she needs
help with her travelling ex
penses.
