Zonta Speaker Discusses Professional Prejudices There are still too many , prejudices against women of the United States in the pro fessions, according to Mrs. Mabel Winston, who spoke in observance of the club's annual Amelia Earhart day. Mrs. Winston, a past presi dent of the Oregon American Association of University Wo men, has also served that group as a regional vice-president and was recently named as one of Oregon's noted wo men in the first edition of Who's Who for American wo men. Since Miss Earhart, one of the nation's first outstanding women aviators, was interest ed in mechanics and engineer ing, Mrs. Winston spoke of that field. In spite of the fact that many European women, particularly Russian women, enter the field of engineering, only .2 per cent of the engi neers in this country are wo men, she pointed out. Women make up six per cent of the medical profession in this country, Mrs. Winston said, but in Russia 50 per cent of the doctors and medical spe cialists are women. The speaker noted that on the whole, European women are more advanced in all the professions than women of the United States, and that many of the Zonta club fel lowships given in honor of Amelia Earhart have gone to European and Asistic women. Speaking of the reasons for this condition, Mrs. Winston said that they are not intel lectual or biological, but inter-personal. In the United States, it is not considered "culturally appropriate" for women to go into profession now dominated by men, she said. Colleges discourage wo men from studying to become engineers, lawyers, chemists, etc., she said, and employers also discourage them. Since the nation is going through a period when all its skills and intellectual and scientific power is needed, women should be encouraged to educate themselves in any field in which they can be useful, she said. Scientific in terests should be encouraged . in the small child, Mrs. Win ston said, and parents should encourage daughters as well as sons to seek the fields in which they show aptitude. She pointed out that Amelia Earhart had had the full en couragement of both her fa ther and her husband. The speaker used charts to show the changing patterns of the life of women in Amer ica, comparing recent years with the year 1890. Women now stay in school longer, marry earlier, have families, at an earlier age, are released from child-bearing and house hold duties earlier, live long er and therefore have a long er span of years in which to be useful in business and the professions, Mrs. Winston de t clared. Almost 50 per cent of the nation's working force is now women, she pointed out, and of the women 50 years of age, 55 - per cent are gain fully employed. Mrs. Winston was intro duced by Celia Martin. Mrs.' Bonnie Wilson, Zonta presi dent, presided.

Fabric design is one of the most import ant. When you choose a par ticular g a r- ment because you like the s t r iking de I sign i n the ' fabric, be sure to consider whether or not it will wear well, clean well, and gen erally prove serviceable. A design which is woven into the fabric is usually more serviceable than one which is affixed to it by pressure or embossing. Pressure application can damage the fibers of the yarn around the edges of the design, creating a weakness that might cause trouble later. Ad hesive or embossed designs will sometimes wear out quickly or will be affected by cleaning. A blouse or a lovely dress may be so appealing that its beauty will outweigh its limited serviceability. If it gives pleasure it may still be worth buying. Extra care in the handling and cleaning of every garment is part of our normal service. Bring us your delicate and better clothing. If it can be cleaned, we can clean it . . . with CARE! Phone SP 3-1919 for free pickup and de livery. Big Y Cleaners, 1928 Table Rock rd. S&H Green Stamps. adv. r - " - -'4- YMhm&' V - 4 r'-st.

The price of this nutritious meat declines dur ing the winter months, so serve it often. It is a good idea to use a meat thermome ter when roasting pork, in serting it through the fat side into the center of the meat. Preheat the oven to 325 de grees and allow 45 to 60 min utes per pound if the roast has been refrigerated. When the thermometer reaches 185 degrees, the meat is well done.
