MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1942. Fannie Hurst Chides Women Twittering About War Jobs By Amy Porter New York, Jan. 7. (JPh-Author Fannie Hurst turveyed the wartime activities of America'! woman today, and mourned: PAGE TEN "It is aad. Hera we art twit tering like women again. Mak ing much ado about how our new defense uniform fit Up setting our households while we boast 'I leave the house at 8 and don't get home until war work, you know.' "Can't we women as a group put a little thought into what this war will mean to us ultl mately. Instead of merely twit tering?" Miss Hurst is convinced, she says, that this war, even more than the last one, will mean moral and social upheaval for women. Men Less Disturbed "Though they fight at the front men are not nearly so dis turbed by war as women," she said. "It has been so, always." Miss Hurst's latest novel, "Lonely Parade," out today, is In a sense a study of this prob lem the effect of war on wo men's lives. The three leading characters are career women who made the most of oppor tunities created by the last war. "I made my three women successful," said Miss Hurst, "and it was my intention to make them happy, but I could not. They would not be happy. They felt frustrated. Success to them was dead sea fruit They wanted the normal thing hus bands and children, and noth ing else could satisfy." Does that mean, Miss Hurst, that the career versus marriage argument is settled In your mind? That you are opposed to careers? "No, no," she answered. "I am for more and better careers for women and more and better marriages, too. Mixed to suit the Individual. "But I am opposed to society's present attitude toward career women. Not only In the book, but among my friends I sea the bitterness that comes to women who succeed in business careers. They tell me tha struggle was too great, the triumph not worth Its cost It Is still true, . I'm afraid, that a woman has to be three times as good as a man In order to get one-third as far. "That's what I hops this war will change. Afterwards, I hope women will not have to elbow and gouge their way Into a man's world. Instead, I hope they'll be needed and taken for granted In Industry and In the professions.

SALE OF SEALS BELIEVED OVER TOP IN COUNTY Indications that the annual sale of Christmas seals, soon sored by the Jackson County Public Health association to combat tuberculosis, will achieve Its 1941 objective were reported to the board Tuesday night by Miss Helen Bullis, county chair man. Miss Bullis told the Health association board, in meeting at the home of Dr. C. H. Paske, that practically every commu nity heard from had shown an increase In sales over the pre vious year. If the follow-up cards, now In the mall, bring the expected result the goal will be attained.
