Ma Khin Thi, Burma, and Chiyono Matsuchima, Japan. .Later the two honored guests spoke at a meeting of BPWC members and guests. . The two students, studying at OSC under the oriental scholar ship fund of the Oregon Federa tion of BPW clubs, were ac comnanied by Mrs. Natalie Burns, Toledo, state chairman of the scholarship committee. Ma Khin Thi was dressed in her ' native costume of hand woven, wrap-around skirt and sheer white blouse. She said she had been teaching home econom ics at a university in Burma be fore coming here in September, 1951. to study at OSC The Burmese student said that women in Burma have much freedom, as compared to those in such countries as India. Men and women of Burma both come of age at 18 and both have the right to vote. Women there are not restricted from certain jobs or professions and enjoy equal rights with men. The Japanese student, t-ni-vona Matsuchima. also wore na tive costume of kimona and wide sash and huge sleeves which she used as pockets, with clogs and stockings with divided toes. She first came to the United States in September, 1950, through the department of the army of occupation, which chose a number of Japanese students to be sent here to learn democracy by Dersonal contact with American family life and Amerian students. She was later chosen by the BPW state feder ation for the second year of study at OSC. Her story of women in her own country differed greatly from that of the Burmese stu dent. She said that Japanese women gained suffrage and equal rights only after the war but are now represented in prac tically every field of employ ment. The speaker said that the tendency of Japanese women has been to vote only for wo men members of the Diet (gov erning body of Japan), whether they r were especially fitted for the offices or not.
