TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sociologist Decl Now Neglectfu By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.P.) Are young women neglecting the freedoms their grandmothers crusaded to win? Are young wives eyeing cobweb-covered pedestals, mini mizing their equal rights and looking to men to become lords and masters once again? There are signs that they are, a qualified woman cfcserver says. The word "feminist" has Trees and Birds Discussed for Jacksonville Club Jacksonville -Mrs. Dee Hen drickson spoke on deciduous trees and y.rs. Paul Janney, Oak Grove district, spoke on native birds last Thursday at the March meeting of the Jacksonville gar den club. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Otto Heckert. During her talk, Mrs. Hen drickson showed dried speci mens of leaves and berries of deciduous trees. Mrs. Janney ex plained that a great number of birds came to her feeders dur ing Jast winter's bad storms. During the last snow storm a purple Qfinch came in, evidently from a long distance. Mrs. Jan ney timed the bird and reported that it ate. for 20 minutes. The following day it left with the rest of the flock. Mrs. R. T. Nichol, Mrs. Paul Godward, Mrs. Lawrence Luy and Mrs. L. L.

IF YOU'RE NOT TRADING AT THE GROCETERIA YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH Drontedai ANGEL FOOD ares Women of Freedoms ! arre Mif rvf facViinn 3nH earn ing a living in a man's world has lost some of its Gibson Girl charm. The two most publicized ro mances this year involve talent ed brides who leave no doubt that their husbands can cut off their careers with a word. Margaret Truman said, "He hasn't put his foot down yet," when she was asked if she would continue her career after she married E. C. Daniel Jr. Grace Kelly said, "Whatever the prince wishes is all right with me," when Prince Rainier III announced her movie career was over. These statements are just ex amples of a feeling that has af fected all young women in very recent years, Mrs. Sidonie M. Gruenberg, an experienced soc iologist and author, believes. Mrs. Gruenberg is a grandmoth er and the co-author of a vol ume called, "The Many Lives of Modern Women." "Young women today are wondering about their place in modern society, but they're not fighting for it," Mrs. Gruen berg said. "There is no doubt that we will lose ground before we reach the proper under standing of a modern woman's role." Her generation had to fight for everything, Mrs. Gruenberg added, but young women now take their freedoms for granted. Past Presidents Meet Recently At Kindred Home Past Presidents' club of Elta Deuel Hubbs Tent, Daughters of Union Veterans, held the last meeting at the home of Mrs. Walter C. Kindred, on Grand View avenue. Dessert preceded the business session, the table being appointed in the St. Pat rick's motif.

It was reported that Albert Woolson, senior vice-commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, had been hospital ized. Commander Woolson is the sole surviving veteran of the Union Army of 1861-65, and as a youthful drummer boy stood with the Union forces at the tide-turning battle of Gettysburg. He recently celebrated his 109th birthday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Kubos, Du luth, Minn.

Kim No vak has decided she'll make up her mind about marrying wealthy Mac end of "sum mer. But her friends are betting those old cupid-kill-ers-career and a big movie studio are conspiring t o make her say Aline Mosby no. The romance of the new star and the handsome investor has become a real-life Romeo-Juliet story in the tinsel town of heart break. Kim says, "I'm going to the Cannes Film Festival next month. Within a few months after my return I'll make up my mind about Mac." But the story behind this has a better plot than some of her pictures. Family Approves Kim, a quiet, sweet girl from Chicago, met Krim, a fellow Chi- cagoan, in Hollywood when she was an unknown. The couple, both Catholics, fell in love with family approval. Then her career blossomed when an agent got her a contract at Columbia Pic tures. The beautiful blonde was given star billing in her first picture, "Pushover." Then came "Phffft." Recently a true star was born ' when she splashed across the screen in "Picnic" and "The Man With The Golden Arm." 1 Kim is an example of a star manufactured by a studio, as op posed to one who makes the grade first on Broadway or TV. The studio wants to protect its investment. And young females rise faster as single girls.
