Today's Women Degraded Lot
Seeking Retribution, Doctor Says
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) A Scientific
comparison between what wo
men used to be and what women
are today has produced the con
clusion that present-day women
are a "degraded" lot who seek
retribution in a mighty wrath
of frenzied aggressions."
Dr. lago Gladston, of the New
York Academy of Medicine, was
doing the comparing.
"It used to be, he said, that
woman "was the mainstay of the
family. She was wife and moth
er, nurse and teacher.
"She spun the yarn and wove
the cloth. She tailored. She gar
dened for the kitchen and the
medicine chest. She it was who
molded candles, preserved food
against the winter seasons, made
soaps, cooked, baked, laundered,
and tended to the hundreds of
functions and details that are
so vital to the maintenance and
the flourishing of the family.
Worked Long Hours
uuuouess sue wumeu iuug
hours and hard, but for all this
she had her rewards, the great
est among them, the secure
knowledge that she was needed
and wanted; that she was indis
pensable in the scheme of the
living pattern. There was for her
too the sense of accomplishment,
the satisfaction that comes with
the fulfillment of the primal
urge to create, to dispense of
self in the process."
Now, for present-day women:
1 "One after another of the wom
an's functions, of her utilities
in the home, have been taken
front her, first by the machine,
and then also by the mercantile,
commercial and social agencies.
She has been, as some of our
feminist and liberal friends say,
with such eager enthusiasm,
freed of the yoke of household
chores.' She is a free woman.
(Free for what?
"To the man from Mars, for
he alone could be considered a
true outsider, it would appear
that woman, so largely deprived
of her ancient prerogatives, is
free to seek retribution, and is
doing so in a mighty wrath of
frenzied aggressions."
Social Structures Upset
Dr. Gladston was addressing a
recent meeting of social workers.
His argument was that intense
industrialization over a long pe
riod of time had basically dis
rupted traditional social struc
tures, and people generally
men, women, and children
have been the victims. "They
form," he said, "the new poor."
More social work and better
directed social work are needed
to deal with this widespread
"social" illness, he said.
The evidences of this illness
are, he said, "violence and sui
cide, divorce and delinquency,
alcoholism, sterility, homosex
uality, addiction to narcotic
drugs, to excitants and depres
sants, impotence and frigidity,
and uncountable varieties of psy
chosomatic, neurotic, and psy
chotic afflictions, and more nu
merous than all the rest, the
hordes of unhappy, bewildered
people they make up "the lone
ly crowd."

Applegate-Jacksonville Hor
ace H. Farley of Sterling Creek,
who recently lost his home and
possessions from a fire, was in
vited to dinner last Tuesday
night at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Nelson. After din
ner, he was taken by surprise
when 35 neighbors came to the
Nelson residence and gave him
a shower of household gifts,
clothing and food. Farley, who
was 'overwhelmed by the neigh
bors' generosity, said "It's like
having Christmas in the middle
of April."
Over the week end, we were
quizzing numerous fishermen
along the Applegate, in an effort
to find out about fishing condi
tions. We regret to report that
fishing was poor.
A large tree along the river,
which at first sight seemed to
have hundreds of lemons perch
ed on its limbs, upon closer in
vestigation were found to be
chirping boisterously. They
were birds. With the exception
of a black spot on their heads
and black wings, they were a
bright lemon yellow.
The Ruch PTA will meet Fri
day. May 4, at 8 p.m. st the
Ruch school.
On Wednesday, May 2, the
Ruch students will play a soft
ball game at the West Side
school.
Week end visitors at the Ed
gar Walker residence on "Top
o' the Hill" were Mr.' and Mrs.
D. L. Goddard and their son,
Larry, of Talent, and Mrs. E. S
Sloan of Jacksonville.
Twelve members attended
the Little Applegate Sewing
club at the home of Mrs. Glenn
Saltmarsh, last Thursday. It was
the first time that "Mrs. Lewis
Crammer of Butte Falls attend
ed these meetings since she
moved away from the Applegate
area. Tea, coffee and home made
doughnuts were served. The
next meeting will be at Mrs.
Crammer's residence in Butte
Falls on May 24.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Garwick of
Berkeley, Calif., are spending
some time at their summer home
located at the mouth of the Lit
tle Applegate' river. They have
been repairing their swimming
pool, fences, and portions of
their, house, which were dam
aged during the winter flood.
The Gerwicks were also active
in relief work during the Yuba
City flood in California.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Liles of
Grants Pass visited the Mansel
Milam residence last Sunday. .
Last Friday Leroy Williams of
Medford, Red Cross first aid
chairman for Jackson county,
demonstrated artificial respira
tion to the Ruch school students.
A doll was used to demonstrate
artificial respiration for small
children and later he taught the
students by having them prac
tice the technique on one anoth
er. Williams stressed the neces
sity for children to learn first
aid, especially in rural areas
where there generally isn't the
immediate availability of a doc
tor. Williams, who has been an
instructor for the past 2Vfe years
was inspired to do this work
when he saw how many acci
dents occurred and how many
there are who haven't a thor
ough knowledge of first aid. He
is teaching first aid to mill
workers every Tuesday night at
the Ruch school.
Rural reflections: Mrs. A.
Pawlowski .of "Top o' the Hill"
last Saturday was informed via
phone that she had a radio wait
ing for her at the Medford Fur
niture store. Mrs. Pawlowski,
who had signed her name for a
prize during the opening of the
store a month ago, said that she
had forgotten all about the in
cident until she received the
phone call.
An ice containing an antisep
tic that kills bacteria as it melts

Political Candidates Not Good Video
Personalities, Dramatic Coach Says
Two Persons Killed
In Vreck Near Gaston
Forest. Grove (U.R) Two
persons were killed yesterday
afternoon when a lumber truck
rolled ovsr and struck a utility
pole on highway 47, a mile
north of Gaston.
Killed in the accident were
Duayne Grosser, 29, of Grande
Ronde, driver of the truck and
Josephine N. Rabins, 36, Mc
Minriville. Police reported that the truck
skidded 93 feet as it aproached
a sharp curve on the highway.
It struck a guard rail, then roll
ed over striking the utility pole.
New York (U.R) Betty
Cashman, one of this town's top
dramatic coaches, sized up the
candidates of both parties today
and decided they're all flops on
TV.
"There's not a single man in
politics today," said Miss Cash
man, "who really understands
the medium. They lack eye ap
peal and ear appeal.
"I teach my actors that they
can't make speeches at an audi
ence. It's about time politicians
learned the same thing
speeches don't work when
you're visiting some one's living
room." Miss Cashman, a spe
cialist in self-expression, has
been teaching for eight years.
She has tutored such scholars
as Tony Curtis, Denise Darcel,
Jack Palance, Patti Page, Mar
tha Wright and the sisters Ga

It's her belief that she could
impart some profitable lessons
in TV politicking to Misters
Eisenhower, Stevenson, Kefauv

"Mr. Eisenhower has im
proved a good deal. But he was
in the Army so long, he picked
up the habit of talking at peo
ple instead of to them. He was
too used to giving direct orders
to make a good TV speaker in
the beginning. But he seems to
be learning," she said.
"Stevenson is not good on TV

Resources Program
Could Alter Economy
Chicago (U.R) Admiral

second Hoover commission's
study on water resources and
power, said last night the fed
er.l government's water re
sources program could change
the nation's economy into a soc
ialistic pattern.
Morreell, now chairman of the
board of Jones and Laughlin
Steel Corp., said some federal

of being desirable . . . but the
cumulative effect of these ap
parently harmless measures
could very well remodel our
economy into a pattern which,
for all practical purposes, is socialistic."

Yet without the subscriber system Mercy Flights
could not keep their planes available to meet the urgent
requests. Ifs a fact. Mercy Flights planes are operated at a
yearly loss of more than $10,000 and this loss is covered
by the subscriber fees of $4 a year per family. However,
those subscribers who do have need of a flight, more than
get their money's worth. In a medical emergency, they can
be taken anywhere within a 400-mile radius of Medford,

We urge every family in Southern Oregon and Northern
California, within a 150-mile radius of Medford, to oln
Mercy Flights now. We believe it is safe to say that there
is not a resident in this area who does not know someone
who has been flown as a patient by Mercy Flights.
