Society and Clubs Medford High school under spon sorship of the league with coop eration of other groups who are working together in an informal foreign policy association. The matter of meat Inspection, long a project of the Medford league, was brought up and Mrs. Hinman stated that the local board had reactivated the Item at the request of Mayor Flynn, who had asked the league's help in getting a city ordinance for meat inspection since the last legislature failed to pass a state measure. w Si 1 i s Oregon League President Addresses Medford Group - - The importance of women participating in government was stressed by Mrs. A. V. Logan, Corvallis, president of the Oregon League of Women Voters, when she addressed the first fall meet ing of the league Saturday at the Jackson hotel. Mrs. Logan was accompanied to Medford by Mrs. V. N. Freeman, Portland, state board member, and the two conferred with the Medford league board Friday. Mrs. Logan said that, tne League of Women Voters la a political action- group where women serve an apprenticeship to equip themselves to take part in the operation of our govern ment She stated that women have been not too willing to make a contribution to the world of public affairs, suggesting that perhaps their hesitancy in work ing in the political field is due to the fact that the philosophies of political partisanship have been established by men and do not always appeal to women. However, she said, they are moving slowly in that direction and are taking part in govern men through the various chan nels that -are offered to them, Le., running for public office or serving on government commis sions, working in party organi zations or working in citizens groups. , The speaker pointed out how extremely important it is that women do become skillful in the art of citizenship, asserting that it is actually not the president or congress who make our gov ernment, but the force of public opinion which has more power than any branch of government and often upsets the plans of our duly, elected representatives. - Since women share in such tremendous responsibility, Mrs. Logan said, it is up to them to be sure that their ideas are founded on facts that we have good rea son for our beliefs, and that we do np ascribe to the growing tendency in this country to ac cept statements as true merely because they are so often repeat ed. This, she said, does not rep resent responsible citizenship but in in line with the techniques used by the Soviets. She illustrated her point by reminding her audience that the average American will express absolute convictions on matters of national defense, foreign pol icy, etc. when experts in those fields are unable to reach a con viction. We need, she said, in formed public opinion and the League of Women Voters is ap proaching the place where it can offer that to its members and soon, it is hoped, to the public at large. , - The . League, Mrs. Logan said, practices the actual forms of the government ' under which we live, electing representatives to conventions to make policies and develop programs, and the ieague sutlers from the same confusion that citizens in gener al do, that is, members are torn between the desire to have rep resentatives carry, out their wishes and on the other hand wants them to act intelligently for the benefit of the entire country. Voters need, she de clared, to decide what Is expect ed of our representatives to leg islatures and congress. Mrs. Logan described the dis cussion group technique which is the backbone of League activity, saying that discussion groups stimulate and arouse Interest in the program and teach women to think. Women, the speaker asserted, are most deeply concerned with problems concerning their homes, their children and their safety, suggested that perhaps women have overlooked their best femi nine asset In their approach to the big job of promoting respon sible citizenship glamour, and she added "never let it be said. that we are feminists rather than feminine." She said that women should glamorize and dramatize their interest in government that political discussion on the golf course or over a bridge ta ble is. far more interesting than how to make pickles. Mrs. Logan closed by pointing out that America became great through the spirit of the volun teers and the contribution that women can .make now is . to arouse the desire to volunteer on the part of all citizens so that "we can continue to enjoy the heritage of freedom that is ours." Mrs. Robert S. Hinman, presi dent of the Medford League, pre sided. She announced the visit of the national league president, Mrs. John G. Lee, to Portland October 12 and 13 for a meeting with the Washington and Oregon state boards and an open meet ing for all league members from the two states.
