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

the two states. She also announc
