o G O o TWO MKDPORD (OREGON) Medford Woman Reports on UNESCO Conference Held in San Francisco Mrs. H. P. Bosworth Jr., Med ford civic leader who was one of 1500 persons invited to attend the sixth national conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organi sation held in San Francisco last eek, has returned home. Mrs. Bosworth is a member of the board of Oregon United Nations association, and was invited to attend the conference because of her work in the state and Med ford associations. Asian-American relations was the conference theme. Mrs. Bosworth reports that the greatest experience in the con ference for her was hearing Mme. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the first and only woman to be elected president of the United Nations General assembly. A pre-conference luncheon at the St. Francis hotel, given by Am erican Association of University Women and 12 other organiza tions with international affilia tions, honored Madame Pandit, who also gave the opening and closing talks of the conference. Leader Quoted Mrs. Bosworth reports that Madame Pandit set the spirit of the conference in general and for women in particular. Among other statements, the UN leader said "It is never possible to change the world in its diver sity." . . . She made a plea to American women to "join hands with the women of Asia to find a road on which we can all ex ist," and added, "Democracy is only worth while if it appreci ates the fact that there are many roads along which the democratic way may progress and each country must follow the road according to its own need. If we realize this we shall have no difficulty arriving at a pattern by which we should live." Madame Pandit urged Ameri can women to fully utilize their opportunity to be a force for world peace. She warned that often "she is content to devote herself to smaller things. She has not organized herself for winning peace. It is not enough to work in groups for small pur poses. Some groups at least must work to meet the crying needs of the world as a whole." O More international exchange trips for people in all walks of life "students, housewives, people doing jobs" is a positive way of building world under standing she said. "The only way to understand people is to see them in their own homes in all their weakness and all their strength. Then we can form cor rect judgments of the things we hear and the things we read which tend to separate us." The Medford woman reports that Madame Pandit was very beautiful in her lovely steel blue or white and light blue saris. "She moved in a charmed circle with a great warmth in her smile for our young people who flocked about her when the oc casion permitted," Mrs. Bos worth reports. A cordon of Boy Scouts es corted her to the Indian delega tion car on the last day when she made the closing address of the conference. That the conference was in San Francisco rather than some other city, was fortunate for q westerners, she said, as all dele gates pay their own expenses.

The conference theme was j spelled out at length on the pro i grams which were received dur I ing registration "Asia and the United States: What the Ameri i can citizen can do to promote j mutual understanding and co ; operation." Delegates Described "During the reception in the mural room on the first evening, the great number of distinguish ed Americans from all over the country were as exciting as the Asians," Mrs. Bosworth reports. "The unusual beards, mustach ios, heads of handsome hair with only a spanking of a few bald pates gave an impressive and distinguished air to the men coming from all over the United States. "The women members be longing to the many permanent UNESCO committees were most ly attractive matrons who talk ed about many of the countries of the world as if they were next door. A favorite was Mrs. Pcavey Heffelf-inger, who is the UNESCO vice-chairman in U. S. National committee. She has been a delegate from our coun try since 1953 to the internation al UNESCO conferences in Par is, Uruguay and India." Mrs. Bosworth quoted Mrs. Hcffelfinger as saying "We have to stop accenting the differences between Asia and the Western world and concentrate on our likenesses." Another delegate was Mrs. Waldo E. Stephens, a grandmo ther, who belongs to five UNESCO committees. To her role as wife, mother, grandmo ther, she adds "community sup porter." "In the home those roles give a tremendous oppor tunity to shape attitudes and to Announce Speaker For Republicans Don Sfathos, temporary chair man of Jackson County Young Republican club, will be speak er at the monthly luncheon meeting of Jackson County Re publican Women's club next Monday, November 18, at the Red Cross building on Haw thorne avenue.
