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

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."
