Miss Amina 1 Said, editor of an Egyptian woman's magazine and vice president of the Femi nist union of Egypt, had been invited but as she became ill and remained in Portland, Dr. Selim filled her engagements here. The board members were es pecially interested in the fem inist suffrage movement in Egypt since the League of Wom en Voters. is the outgrowth of that movement here in the Unit ed States. , Dr. Selim, during the informal discussion, said that under Nas ser's leadership, Egyptian wom en have made great strides in attaining social freedoms. One of the first and most out standing steps Nassar took to give women a higher social stat us was to abolish the religious courts. Dr. Selim said.

MedfordTribune Adolescent Hopes, Worries Topic of Girl Scout Survey New York IU.R) Today's ado lescent girls are resolving the conflict between homemaking and career that plagued previ ous generations of American women. They plan to continue their education and work for a time before marrying, and they want white collar jobs for themselves and for their hus bands. Only 7 per cent wish to marry men who work in fac tories, on farms, or at a trade or craft. These are some of the find ings of the first nation-wide survey of the personal and social interests and aspirations of girls 11 through 18 years of age, made public yesterday by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. The study, conducted for the Girl Scouts by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research was directed by Dr. Elizabeth Douvan and was under the su pervision of Dr. Stephen Withey, program director of the Center. Based on interviews with a scientifically selected sample of nearly 2,000 girls representing all girls now in the 6th through 12th grades, the survey covers girls' hopes, worries, relations with parents and friends, dating, plans for education, work and marriage. Two-Part Survey It is the first section of a two part survey undertaken by the national Girl Scout organization on the needs of adolescent girls and ways in which these needs can be met. The second section, dealing specifically with the Girl Scout program and its serv ice to girls, is expected to be completed early in 1958. The study reveals that ado lescent girls are under most stress between the ages of 14 and 16 when they are beginning to establish relationships out side the family that are equally important to them. According to the survey, most girls start dating at 14. While only one-fifth of those under 14 reported any dating, 70 per cent of those in the 14 to 16 age bracket not only date, but date regularly, ofien every week end. Of the girls over 16, 90 per cent date regularly. The study brings out the fact that contrary to popular opin ion, only 10 per cent of girls 11 to 18 years old "go steady." Asked what they thought of "go ing steady," less than one-fifth said they liked the idea. Sixty per cent of the girls over 16 thought there were more disad vantages than advantages to this practice. Personality Counts Most girls interviewed rated personality higher than physical appearance as a factor in deter mining popularity with boys. The majority of girls think it is legitimate and necessary for parents to make rules for their children, and they agree with the specific rules their own parents make. More than half believe the rules governing their behavior are fair and helpful. When adolescent girls do dis agree with their parents, the is sues are most likely to be cloth ing, dating, and hours, the sur vey indicates. Younger girls, un der 14, report conflict over clothes and use of makeup. "Driving and dating are most often issues for girls in the 14 to 16 age group," the study con tinues, "and the oldest group disagrees with their folks about ideas." In their job plans, girls want "steady employment," "interest ing work" and "nice people to Handsome Ceo wcW bni fabric is protected with new SYXMER. "the invisible lip cover,' thmt scoffs at spots.

Only 2 per cent of all the girls want to run their own business. The kinds of jobs which re quire the feminine characteris tics of helpfulness and service to others are invariably more popular than professional or career jobs that require long training, according to the sur vey. The most popular occupa tions, in order, are secretary, nurse, teacher, and social worker. Eight out of 10 girls inter viewed said they want to grow up. to be like their mothers, oth er female relatives, or teachers. Only 2 per cent are interested in becoming glamorous movie or TV stars. Although 94 per cent of the girls expect to get married "some day," only 3 per cent said that they wish to become house wives. The survey points out that this may be owing to the fact that most girls covered by the study are thinking about the next few years rather than the relatively distant future. One-third of the girls want college educations. This figure, the report notes, is much higher than the number currently en rolled in the nation's institutions of higher learning. Friendships play a very im portant part in the lives of ado lescent girls, the study reveals. They need and want loyal girl friends whom they can talk to and confide in. Six out of 10 girls interviewed said they felt a friend could be as close to them as a member of their own families. Consideration for oth ers, skill in social activities, and good moral character were cited most frequently as the basis for liking another girl. Only a handful gave social status as a criterion for choosing friends. Most adolescent girls, accord ing to the study, do some kind of work to earn money. Nearly 60 per cent hold jobs outside their homes and 20 per cent earn money for home chores. Baby sitting is the most common type of work for girls from the age of 12 on. Of the girls over 16, a sizeable group have jobs in offices and stores. Half of the girls interviewed reported they were currently getting an allowance and, among these, more than 50 per cent said they received from their parents between $1 and S5 a week as spending money. i Applegate PTA Announces Play; Unit Will Meet Applegate Medford Foot lighters will present a play at a meeting of Applegate .
