Luncheon Set by Altrusans; Grant Campaign Explained A Thanksgiving luncheon will be held at noon at the Elks club women's dining room Saturday, November 26, by the Altrusa club, to which guests may be in vited. Reservations should be made with Mrs. Maisie Daley or Mrs. Enid Rankin, hostesses for the month of November. Mrs. Maude Codding, presi dent, stated plans will be made for the Altrusa Christmas party to be held on Thursday evening, December 8, at the home of Mrs. Adrienne Dippel, who will be assisted by Mrs. Bertha Haskins, Mrs. Betty Flannery and Mrs. Dorothy Young. At the last meeting, the club decided to adopt a family, for which gifts of food and clothing can be brought to the Christmas party. On Monday evening, Decem ber 21, the executive board will meet at the home of Mrs. Rankin at 7:30, when the vocational grant committee will report on the progress of a campaign to find an older Jackson county woman to receive a S250 grant offered by the local Altrusa club during the month of November for the purpose of training her for employment. Applicants for the grant do not need to have any particular educational qualifications unless the training they desire requires it. Practical nurse and teacher training requires a high school education or its equivalent be fore training can start. The grant is to meet the need of women who have to earn a living when they have been away from the business world for so long, raising a family, that their former skills, business, or professional training is rusty from disuse. Labor counselors state these women find it diffi cult to gain employment and need refresher training in up-to-date methods to give them confi dence. Employers sometimes have prejudice against older workers both men and women, but age restrictions for women start ear lier than for men, it is explained. Victor Newman, employment counselor for the local state em ployment office, who has been appearing with Altrusa officers in panel discussions of this' proj ect on television and radio, stat ed, "The State Employment Service not only recognizes the need for the work being done by Altrusa but definitely approves it. We are constantly coming in contact with women who fit into the category of the older worn an. Asked' what was the age of an older woman, Mr. Newman said "in the labor market, any wom an who experiences difficulty in gaining employer acceptance on account of her age is considered an older woman, even though over a third of all the 20 million e'mployed women in the United States are over 45." "There are other factors," he continued, "such as qualities of alertness, mental attitude and grooming. Altrusa's program is a big factor not only in training such women in certain skills but in giving them the necessary confidence without which they would be completely lost," Mrs. Codding, president of the club, advises the public that De cember 1 is the closing date for requesting applications which can be obtained from the chair man of the committee, Mrs. Rankin. They may write or call her at 18 Richmond avenue, tel ephone 2-8448, or contact some member of Altrusa as soon as possible for information. The club members are anxious to give the money to the woman who needs the help most and can use it to make herself employ FOE Auxiliary Slates Benefit The auxiliary to the Fraternal Order of Eagles will conduct a box supper at the Eagles hall, Saturday, November 26 at 7:30 p.m., and proceeds will go to the muscular dystrophy fund, the groups project for this month.

Helen Hayes Has Received New Honor in Theater Work By ELIZABETH TOOMEY New York (U.R) Helen Hayes, leading lady of the Amer ican theater, has received a brand new honor. A Broadway theater was re named for her Monday, which makes it more difficult than ever for the unassuming person to shine through the glittering personality. Miss Hayes is not one of those actresses who has had trouble living up to the glorified legend that has built up around her in 50 years in the theater. But she's had a terrible time trying to live it down. She once said wistfully that she was happiest when people thought of her "as the kind of woman truck drivers call a dame." Instead she has become the great lady of the American thea ter. The only other American actress presently honored withi her name on a broadway theater is Ethel Barrymore. The legend of Helen Hayes is made up mostly of off-stage stories. As an actress, since her first timid appearance as Helen Hayes Brown, age 6, in Wash ington, D. C, her career is a well-documented history of hard work, repeated success and un failing modesty. But as a woman, Miss Hayes has had unexpected hobbies, done endless thoughtful deeds and consistently poked fun at herself, the actress. "I wasn't combustible," she told an interviewer who once asked her what had happened to her promising movie career. Her lack of sex appeal puzzled Hol lywood producers, she explained, so there was a 17-year lapse be tween her first movie and her second. Report Made of Professor's Talk Before LWV Group "Academic freedom is free' dom of the mind," Dr. Arthur Kreisman said Saturday when he spoke on the subject at a gen eral meeting of the League of Women Voters. Dr. Kreisman, professor of. English and langu age, has been on the .Southern Oregon college, faculty since 1946 and conducts a television program on each Monday at 5:45 p.m. Often freedom is thought of as "when you agree with the pop ular code," he declared, and peoples lose their freedoms be cause of the insiduous way in which totalitarianism infiltrates. Speaking of what academic freedom is not, Dr. Kreisman said, "it is the right to say just anything; not the right to be subversive; to deliberately spread propaganda; nor to talk as an authority on everything. Freedom to be an authority re quires the obligation of having the best knowledge on the sub ject," he explained. "Communism does not have such freedom," Dr. Kreisman stated, "because of the precon ception it demands." Misunderstanding of academ ic freedom arises because many people fail to see the job of schools and educators, accord ing to the speaker. All the facts on a given subject are not found in one place, he said, especially because facts change as knowl edge increases. There is also a problem of in terpreting the facts, which "means we don't have enough facts," he added. The questions are the same, but the answers change. "Since we must have freedom to find out what is true," he con tinued, "it is the quest that is important, and totalitarianism fails while democracies rise through the latter's strength." All other mechanisms and insti tutions in ' seeking truth are based on that right, it was averred. He applauded the rise of American education which has brought foreign students to the United States, instead of Amer ican students abroad. Describing the best way to test truth, Dr, Kreisman said it was proved by its "predictive value." Though that value is greatest in the physical sciences, a continued search in fields such as economics and psychology may eventually find their ulti mate truths. In' closing Dr. Kreisman stated that academic freedom boils down to the right of a teacher, educator, or citizen to be free to investigate in his field of interest,, and to publish the results of his honest investiga tion. "Such is the heart of dem acratic living." Mrs. Leland Mentzer intro duced the speaker and Mrs. Rob ert Hiatt, league president, pre sided. About 50 women attend ed the luncheon meeting at the Jackson hotel. Miss Hayes drove to the thea ter for the name-changing cere mony yesterday from the home she and her husband, Charles MacArthur, own near Nyack, N. Y., with a pretty young ac tress beside her in the car. This is only the latest of nu merous young people interested in the theater who have lived with the MacArthurs since their daughter, Mary, died of polio at the age of 19 six years ago. "She doesn't really coach us," Lily Lodge, actress daughter of former Connecticut Governor John Lodge, said. "She just lets us live with her for a while. It is a wonderful privilege." Miss Hayes directed plays for the Girl Scouts when her daugh ter was a member and said dis paragingly that all the girls' mothers "bring forth their little hobbies" to teach them to the Scouts. She looked at the screening of the movie, "My Son, John," her last Hollywood venture, and said she wouldn't take another picture. Her face had "aged the wrong way," she later told a friend. And she felt she had overacted the role. "I was old rubber face herself," she said without a sign of the bitterness that another great actress might reveal after a bad performance. She likes to play undignified stage roles now and then, doesn't regard herself as nearly the lady 1 i k e, slightly unapproachable person the legend has created and can't understand why her kindness to other lesser mem bers of her play casts has made them regard her almost as a saint. The best summation of her life is her own words "I've walked through my life like a cat on a mantlepiece, careful not to knock anything over." 4-H Club News Central Point Beef Club The 4-H Beef club of Central Point held its third meeting on the 14th at the home of Bill and Jeff Anhorn.
