Secretary Minds
Others Business;
Said Successful
Pittsburgh (U.R) Sally
Osborn, the National Sec retaries'
Association secretary of the
year," says she moved to the top
of her profession by minding
someone else's business.
"Ever since I was a child, I
wanted to run somebody else's
business," she confided. "But
right now I'll have to say I'm
helping to run a business that
is partly mine."
Twelve years ago Miss Osborn
joined the engineering firm of
Richardson, Gordon and Associ
ates. Today, she is a junior part
ner. "When I first was hired we
had only eight people on the
office force and I was a general
secretary. Now we have about
160 employes and I m a junior
partner." she said.
To Miss Osborn, secretarial
work no longer is a job. It is a
profession that embraces that of
an administrative assistant.
"Being a secretary today is a
lot more than merely being able
to type and take shorthand. It's
a study in human relations.
"And working for, an engineer
ing firm is just wonderful," she
said. "I can look out my office
window and see bridges being
built. The plans for those bridges
were drawn in the office right
next to mine."
Before the year runs out, the
industrious Carnegie Tech grad
uate plans to marry.

Captain Parsons
First Woman in
National Guard
By GAY PAULEY
New York iU.FD Firsts
have become second nature to
Capt. Norma (Dutch) Parsons, of
Waterville, Me. .
The attractive, brown-eyed
miss of the military set her new
est precedent when she was
sworn as the first, and so far
only, woman member of any
National Guard unit m the na
tion. Captain Parsons, who is in
her late 30's, is chief nurse of
the 106th Tactical Hospital, New
York Air National Guard, Floyd
Bennett Field. Brooklyn.
"At first I was real pleased
with all this hoopla," she con
fessed, in an interview. "But
now, I'm a little confused."
Congress last summer author
ized the Guard a reserve
branch of the military service
to accept women members as
nurses and medical specialists.
She was sworn in ceremonies
in Washington last week.
Captain Parsons was the first
woman ever attached to a Guard
unit as a non-member. That
was in 1954. She also was the
first to go on active duty with
the Guard when the 106th
Bombardment Wing was sent to
Korea in 1951.
She is one of the few women
ever awarded the Air Medal for
evacuation flights in a combat
zone.
No narrow escapes to tell
about," she said. "They didn't
let us girls that close to the
fighting." But she holds three
battle stars from her World War
II and Korean duties.
Norma Parsons, a graduate of
the Cary Memorial Hospital Nur
sing school, Caribou, Me., began
her military career in 1943. Af
ter attending flight-medical
schools, she served in the Middle
East, at bases from North Afri
ca to India. She completed her
World War II duty in 1946.
I joined up because nurses
were needed," she said. "But
every generation of my family,
well, since the American Revo
lution, has had at least one mem
ber in the service."
I am all for a military car
eer for a girl," she said. "The
social whirl is wonderful . . .
the men always outnumber the
girls. And the service has given
me a chance to travel I'd never
have had otherwise. How else
could I have seen the Taj Ma
hal by moonlight, from the nose
of a B25?"
