TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July 17, 1958 x More Women Than Men Likely To Vote in '56 Washington. July -'CQ;- n.e 1956 Presidential election JcWif certain to produce a preecd'.'iit on the American pojitiral scene more women than men will caM votes For trio fir-t tune in the ?,fi vears that won en have had the right to vote, the number of wo- found a summary in a .statement by Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butier, who recently wrote party officials: "I am particularly hopeful that evidence? of greater partic ipation by women will be found this year in more women can didates for public office. . . . Democratic state and national conventions. . . .and more wo men actively and enthusiastical ly working in. . . . party or ganizations. ' Girl Scouts men in the population and their , more women delegates to the voter participation has increased to a point where a continuation of the trend will see the majority of ballots cast by women. The exact fiaures on how many women have voted in each election since the pas.-agc of the 9th Amendment are unavail able. But The American Heritage Foundation, in a study of l!)52 balloting, estimates that 30.5 mil lion of the Rl.fi million persons who voted that year were wo men. The Republicans long have contended it was the women's vote that elected President Eisenhower in 1952. They cite studies by various groups and j Lake inundation? to support mis con-1 ninah tention. But the Democrats can find substantial evidence to sup port their rebuttal of this argu ment. The question remains un settled. , But on one point the in creased participation of women in politics both parties agree. And they are making special plans to woo the woman voter for 1356. Both Republican and Dem ocratic National Committees have women's divisions. In ad dition, the Republicans have an 18-year-old organization known as the National Federation of Republican Women's Clubs. There are 4.000 of these clubs in 46 states. Mrs. Katie Louchheim. head of the Democratic National Com Ttiittee's womens' divisions, cites the increased participation of women in politics by aiding in raising of campaign funds and working in party organizations from precinct caucuses to the national level. "Many Democratic candidates are putting women administra tors on their campaign staffs," Mrs. Louchheim said. "Several candidates even have women campaign managers." Miss Bertha Adkins, assistant to the chairman of the Repub lican National Committee in charge of womens' activities, says the GOP is emphasizing "the neighbor-to-neighbor, door- to-door approach to politics. Mrs. Carroll D. Kearns, head of the GOP womens' clubs, hopes to expand the membership from the 500,000 level to one million this year. The Federation has a 24-point program of activities, including training women to be "GOP salesladies." The AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education (COPE) is active in this field to. It is or ganizing to get women trade union members and the wives, mothers and sisters of trade union members to become in terested in political activities. Although women are stepping up their participation, they have been slow to get into politics as office - holders. Women often complain they hold few policy making posts in political or ganizations and the posts held by women are "widow dressing." Miss Adkins says she thinks women are making 'slow but steady" progress in winning local, county, state and national offices. "When women prove their capacity for the .job and are co operative to work with, they generally get tiie support of both men and women." Miss Adkins says. Mrs. India Edwards, former vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sum marizes the on-time reaction to women in politics this way: "Men don't want women mes sing around in politics. They would much rather have you give a tea where the candidates can shake hands and drink punch." But the new look in politics ECHOS FROM LOW ECHO Betly Brown The Stars and Stripes eo up the flagpole every morning at Camp Low Echo, the first event in the schedule of another busy day. During the half session that has elapsed a group of hik ers have gone up Mount Pitt, and another group to Harriet The Pitt hike, led by Hutchinson, Carol Sell- strom and Carol Denman, be gan its ascent at six o'clock in the morning after a hearty breakfast at the camp dining hall. They reacted the top of the mountain which is clearly visible from the campsite around noon, and we answered their mirror signals from our dock. Camp Director, Irene Knox, puts the camp truck and station wag on to good use as she hauls loads of campers to and from their starting points. Excitement reigned among the campers at a favorite camp fire program, the counselor hunt. The camp staff hid under logs, beneath canoes and in the rafters of cabins while groups of campers, led by the program aids, hunted for them. Each counselor had a price on her head, and the group with the highest score received a bag of candy. One counselor, the "grandmother of Low Echo," Mrs. Ivah (Robin) Murray from Medford. almost lost her head when an ambitious camper's foot discovered her hiding place in the woodpile. Visiting us the first session have been the Girl Scout Coun cil president, Mrs. Michele T. Rossi, and her niece, Patricia. They stayed for a roast beef din ner and made a tour around camp. Roily Rousseau, the State Wildlife Conservation man, held campers spellbound during his talks in Beaver Lodge. The chil dren were intrigued with the skins of beaver, otter, ring-tailed cat. racoon and bobcat which he passed around. His two-day stay in camp excited much interest in Oregon wildlife, and he was bombarded with stories and questions from the campers. On Saturday the canoes pre sented by the employees of the Elk Lumber Co. will be launch ed by the older girls in a candle light ceremony for the whole camp. The canoes will be chris tened Billie Bumps, Rolls Royce, Elk I and Elk II in honor of the donors. Carol Dyke eounselor-in-train-ing. has been stationed with the youngest campers in Breeze away. She works with them, under the supervision of the unit counselors, teaching songs, games and learning the respon sibilities of a counselor. Each week she will be switched to a new unit or crafts and the wat erfront, in order to find out what phase of camp work will especially interest her next year California Girl Visits Relatives Here Miss Bonnie-Kay Strang, eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William C.

(U.R) Germ - killing antibiotics soon may be made from weeds. A Michigan State University research team has discovered a substance that, when purified, may prove as effective an anti biotic as penicillin. The material comes from hy pericum, a common ornamental shrub weed often called St. John's wort. The substance has one-tenth (he effectiveness of penicillin in its present "unpurified state. The research team hopes to purify the drug to the extent that it will equal or exceed the bacteria-killing power of penicillin Most antibiotics now in use are derived from microorgan isms, but the MSU scientists hope to produce bacteria-killing New Officers Are Installed By DAV The Disabled American Vet erans auxiliary held annual in stallation of officers Thursday, July 12, in ths Moose hall.
