Bulk Soroptimist efforts to advance the primitive lifestyle of women in Peru, Goheen said. Fresh water supplies, basic health care and education have been partially funded by Sorop timists to improve the lives of women and their families, she said. Reports of accomplishments in underdeveloped countries were given by Anne Ydowitz, the Sorop timist representative from New York. The joint accomplishments of five international women’s organiza tions were also reported by district chairperson Betty Loughhead, Australia, representing the Five-O conglomeration. Loughhead is also a past president of the Soroptimist International organization. In addition to convention activities and entertainment, there’s never enough time to see everything on tours, Goheen says, though she preferred to spend more time look ing than shopping. She captured on film many o f the ornate old cathedrals, the imposing medieval castles and some of the breathtaking scenery. Other highlights, she says, were glimpses of Hadrian’s Wall, built during Roman Empire days. Around 73 miles of stone wall interspersed with fortification became the Roman defense against the unsubdued Caledonian tribes. Up to 20 feet high and nine feet wide, the wall was built on the crest of hills by Roman engineers who used the lay of the land to give maximum visibility to the north. Also of Roman origin is Bath, where an immense stone complex captilizes on natural hot springs that steam into cavernous rooms, another example of Roman engineering feats, Goheen said. Loaded with photographs, brochures and history books and sporting a bright Scottish-plaid skirt, Goheen makes old world history come to life as she talks about her Shakespearean-type adventures in the place made famous by the tales of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. St. Pat’s church begins instruction BMCC holds Irrigon Sr. Citizens plan pancake feed YOU’R PROTECTED! the year around $3.60 Mary Goheen, Heppner, seldom misses a major Soroptimist event, especially if it involves overseas travel. She recently returned home after attending the Soroptimist Inter national Convention in Nottingham. England. While aboard, she joined a tour group that visited historic sites in England and Scotland. Goheen says it’s a way to recapture history lessons by visiting first-hand the beautiful old castles, cathedrals, museums and some of the architec ture dating back to Roman construction. Meeting people and seeing dif ferent countries has been part of Goheen’s lifestyle. She is a firm believer, she says, in the objectives of Soroptimists. “ Soroptimists is a working club,” she says that strives for human rights for all people and, in particular, to advance the status of women. Currently there are 94,000 members belonging to 2800 clubs in 94 different countries. Meeting new friends seems to be natural for Goheen who says that one of the club’s goals is to develop in ternational understanding and universal friendship. The positive aspect of attending these conventions is to renew acquaintances and ex change correspondence by mail thereafter, she added. This year the International Con vention (held every four years) was at the Concert Hall of the Royal Center in Nottingham, July 29 through August 1. Workshops were held at the University of Nottingham for about 1180 attendees. The affair was hosted by the English clubs, who were excellent hosts, Goheen says. She met old friends from the Tamworth Club in England, that has been the Heppner clubs “ Friendship Link.” Keynote speaker was Margaret Anstee, undersecretary general of the United Nations. Anstee is also the director general of the U N. bas ed in Vienna.
