Progress Reports Scheduled at Meeting of Council on Aging Progress reports by commit tees surveying housing, em ployment and recreation needs for older citizens will be given at a meeting of the Rogue Valley council on aging Thursday, May 29, at 3 p.m. at the Red Cross audi torium. A meeting of the housing committee will be held pre ceding the general session, at 2:45. The council has been study ing the needs of the older gen eration with a view to estab lishing a "senior village," a low-cost housing development for persons of mature years, as veil as working towards elimination of discrimination against middle-aged and older persons who are seeking jobs. To help fill the need for re creation, the Fifty Plus club has been organized under sponsorship of the council's recreation committee. Urged lo Attend Council members are urg ing attendance from the Rogue valley at the northwest conference of the national organization's committee on aging, June 29-July 2, in Portland. Sessions will be held at Reed college, with "Searchlight on our Futures" as the program theme. The Oregon council is taking re servations for the four-day meeting through Mrs. Helen Zollinger, Portland. Frank Glonning, chairman of the council, will preside at the Thursday meeting and channel the discussion, which Is expected to include com ments from interested groups, which are invited to send rep resentatives. There will be a carry-over of the discussion of sites. At the last meeting, it was re ported that possibility of util izing the Camp White area will be pursued further, as well as the Eagle Point loca tion.

After only 23 minutes of talk on the bill to make Alas ka the 49th state. Rep. Clare E. Hoffman R-Mich. noted the absence of more than half the members. Under a gentle man's agreement reached earlier among House leaders, this made it necessary to ad journ until Monday. - Debate will end at 5 p.m. Monday and voting on the bill will start then or the fol lowing day. Many members were out of town for a long weekend, about 50 of them on a three day annual trip to New York City. Rep. Craig Hosmer (R Calif.) the only speaker to day, opposed making Alaska a state. He said "there simply does not exist a sufficent number of people in Alaska to justify statehood." Statehood advocates have argued that Alaska's estima ted 208,000 people provide a large enough base for start ing self-government. Before Friday's brief de b a t e, statehood advocates claimed their opposition was wearing down and had aban doned attempts to block ac tion on the bill.

Bosworth Jr., chairman of the housing com mittee, told of the Fifty Plus club's plan for a housing unit for older people. It is sort of a do-it-yourself plan on a low cost basis, although not a phil anthropic venture. The coun cil is being asked to act as agent, or go-between, to pro mote establishment of the project. Cooperation is being sought from other groups in the area. Meeting Held It was reported that the housing committee met with County Commissioners Ches ter Wendt and Ralph James, and C. C. Hoover and son, Bud, Mark Goldy and Bruce Bauer, authorities on housing and real estate, for an apprai sal of the proposed plan. Lindsay Vinsel, in charge of the adult education program for the Medford city schools, pledged cooperation of his de partment when and if it is needed. The employment committee has considered the need for a housekeeper's or maid's training program. A building for use of the council and the Fifty Plus club is also one of the prob lems. Mrs. Elizabeth Sheffield of Rogue River asked about the possibility of permitting the Society of Southern Ore gon Artists to use any build ing that may.be obtained for the display of local art work and crafts. The old city build ing on Hawthorne and Jack son sts. has been suggested, but renovation costs may be prohibitive, it was pointed out. Mrs. Enid Rankin, chairman of the state council's commit tee on community services, discussed plans for a state wide survey to determine what discrimination has exist ed employment-wise against older people. She asked that anyone so discriminated against send a post card to the Oregon State Council on Aging, post office box 5197, Eugene, giving the facts in volved. C. L. Williams, Ashland, a retired federal worker and a member of the council's em ployment committee, agreed to aid in the survey. He re ferred to a recent report in "Local Labor Market" giving testimony from executives that reasons for hiring older workers include their pa tience, maturity, experience and know-how, plus their wis dom and understanding. Mrs. Gene Chamberlain, a representative of the Medford Junior Women's club, report ed on activities of the Golden Age club program in Portland, The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselor , Bernice F. My fiance wants me to have a career. Daniel G. I don't see why she can't do both. Bernice F. My fiance and I are in our early twenties and we are planning to be mar ried within a few months. We want to straighten out some of our problems now so things will go smoothly afterwards. I have been trained as a dancer and have looked for ward to a career in this field all my life. But recently I have been reading a great deal about what a mistake it is to sacrifice the duties and responsibilities of a wife and mother for s career. Some psychologists say. a woman can't be happy unless she completely accepts homemak ing as a career. Well, my choice is a hus band, home and children, but surprisingly, my fiance wants me to go on with my career. Daniel G. B e r n i c e has great talent as a dancer and is just beginning to make her way. It seems to me it would be a shame to hide all that ability and training. I fell in love with her when I saw her dance and I want her to go on dancing. Of course, I want her to be a wife and mother and a hap py woman, too. It seems to me some women manage to combine marriage and a ca reer quite successfully. I have seen it in my own family and I don't see why Bernice can't do it, too. I realize there will be diffi culties, but I am ready to face them and to cooperate in every way I can. I don't see how Bernice can take so light ly the idea of giving up her work. The Council: There are many sides to th'is complicated question. We doubt whether Bernice and Daniel can iron out all the problems involved in advance of marriage al though they are certainly wise to give it a lot of serious thought. Despite the fact that some psychologists have insisted upon the acceptance of com plete dedication to home and children as the prime requi site for happiness for a wom an, we are of the opinion that this view is far too sweeping. Many women today simply cannot accept this road and the greatest happiness for Pemey's SHOP MONDAY NIGHTS 'til 9! DOWNTOWN . . . .

We do not deny a woman's life is greatly complicated if she wishes to do two big, highly engrossing jobs. It takes enormous stamina, drive and organization to. accom plish both with reasonable ef ficiency. It also takes an un derstanding and cooperative husband, who shares . his wife's ambitions for herself. We do not deny, either, there must be some sacrifice in both realms when a wom an juggles two careers. She may be forced into years of complete inactivity in her pro fessional life. Her family may at times suffer because of her work. We also think it, pos sible that one career may con tribute something to the other, enriching both in a unique way. .......

If she wants the home and family without a career because she feels it is the best way for her, we don't see why she should complicate her life because of her husband's ambitions. Daniel should remember he is marrying a woman, not a dancer even if she should choose to go on with her work. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)
