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.

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.
