Conditions in Pakistan
Topic for AAUW Meeting
The swift revolution which has changed the lives of
women in Pakistan was described at a meeting here Satur-
oay by Airs. Rehana Asif Latif Islam. She spoke for Medford
branch, American Association of University Women, follow
ing a luncheon at Mon Desir inn. Dressed in a colorful sari,
she made the women of Pakistan "come alive" for her audi
ence; her own charm and frequent flashes of humor added
appeal to her words,
Islam told how 30
ago her grandxatner
Mrs,
years
was considered radical be
cause, he allowed her mother
and aunt to sit behind a cur
tain with a chaperone and
take notes on lectures by a
college professor. From this
seclusion, women have
emerged first to colleges of
their own and now to coedu
cational colleges, the speak
er said. - Although only a
privileged few have such op
portunity they have aroused
even women who have had
Jewer advantages to step out
and claim their rights.
Legally these women have
had equal rights with men in
economic, social and political
matters for fourteen cen
turies, Mrs. Islam- said. How
ever, due to ignorance and
rigid custom these rights re
mained only theoretical until
recently. Within, their homes
.they were treated with re
spect, but they were kept in
their homes, without excep
tion. The thing which finally
broke down this barrier seg
xegatine women was the
tragic plight of the refugees
-at the time of the division of
India, when Pakistan became
a separate state, according to
the speaker. After this en
Irance of women into public
life, they were determined to
tay - "out", Mrs. Islam said,
and the men were dismayed
to find them becoming active
in many areas of the country's
life.
APWA Strong
; The All Pakistan Women's
association,' commonly re
ferred to as APWA, is a
strong organization, seeking
to establish projects for im
provements in health and
education especially. They
have some well trained lead
ers and specialists in these
fields, but not enough funds
to implement their plans.
Women wield great influence
in political matters and have
ven acted as ambassadors,
said the visitor. This influ
ence proved embarrassing to
some of the newly rich' men
who came suddenly to power,
according to Mrs. Islam.
Many of them divorced their
wives, replacing them with
women they believed would
fit better in their new pattern
of life. The women of APWA
deemed this most undesirable
conduct and let it be known
they would not accept it in
those they would back po
litically.
The new-found strength of
women has led to the decline
of polygamy. Mrs. Islam
claims it was never as pre
valent as imagined by west
erners. It was always sup
posed to be only a special sit
uation occurrence, allowed to
meet a particular problem
either of the individual or the
group, but she admitted there
had been abuses. Hardly ever
was a man permitted more
than two wives, the speaker
said. He was always sup
posed to give equal care,
affection and attention to
each-. "And you know that's
impossible," said Mrs. Islam.
On the strength of this, the
women made polygamy some
thing a man would scarcely
have the courage to undertake.
Older women in Pakistan
hold an enviable position ac
cording to Mrs. Islam. "Your
grandmother, is one you al
ways respect and obey or
pretend to obey," she added
with a smile.
r
Children in Need
In closing she voiced her
great feeling of urgency that
the desperate needs of the
children of Pakistan be met
before it is too late. It is in
the hope of finding a way to
help do this that she is study
ing in America.
Since this meeting was the
annual fellowship luncheon,
designed to acquaint members
with the workings of the asso
ciation's fellowship program,
Mrs. Mabel W, Winston, reg
istrar and dean of women at

establishment and growth of
this program. Mrs. Winston,
in her former capacity as a
regional ! officer of AAUW
was instrumental in establish
ing the Anchorage,- Alaska,
branch which gave the inter
national grant assigned to
Mrs. Islam.
This program of raising
money for fellowships and
gcants is the one activity
which is found as a part of
the program of every branch
of AAUW in the United
States. The fellowship fund is
now an endowment of nearly
two million dollars, the in

field of international grants,

great value in promoting
world understanding and
peace. They are used to bring
women from other countries
to the U. S. for advanced
study. These grants, of at
least $500 each, are paid out
of current funds. The Med
ford branch has given several

ing on one currently.

Council Observes Prayer Day
Medford Council of Church
Women observed the 1959
World Day of Prayer Fridaj
at services in the Church of
the Nazarene. Luncheon was
opened with prayer by Mrs.
Everett - Faber,- president of
the Medford Council. , .
Thoughts on prayer were
discussed by four local minis
speaking on prayer from the
the standpoint of "Adoration
in Prayer",' stated that in ap
proach to prayer one must
experience a deep reverence
toward God "who is pure and
holy and is the helper' of all
mankind." As we pray the
Lord's Prayer let US' pray not
with self but with God, he
said.
"Thanksgiving in- Prayer,"
stated the Rev. Raymond W.
Hum, "necessitates unblock
ing of all channels which
would tend to deter in giving
grateful thanks for. blessings
received. A stable persistent
life under God's care and
God's law is to be greatly de
sired." Pastor Clyntpn Crisman dis
cussed "Contrition in Prayer"
and stated that one must pray
not selfishly, but with wide
thinking in Jesus' name and
as we pray, expect an answer.
He reminded his listeners that
Jesus prayed until he had the
answer. '
"Intercession and Commit
ment in Prayer" was s dis
cussed by Dr. D. K. West, who
said that as we pray we are
conscious of the greatness and
the power of God who is a
loving father and through
Him we belong to each other
as His Children." We must be
concerned for one another in
our tninKing , ana our
prayers," he said. .
Ministers wives led prayer
circles following the discus
sions. Mrs. William Ricken, chair
man for the day, presided dur
ing the afternoon program.
Music was presented by the
Jacksonville trio 'composed of
Mrs. Rafe Anders, Mrs. W.
Worden and Mrs. Melvin
Hall. They were accompan
ied by Mrs. Lyle Schoppert.
Mrs.. Arnold Kornstadt was
at the organ for the service,
which in part was responsive.
Readers were Mrs. I. M. Ei-
treim, Mrs. A. W. Denney,
Mrs. Bayard Getchell, Mrs.
Bruce Owens, Mrs. Leon
Yondell and Mrs. Ray Pence.
Mrs. Milton ' Snow, Mrs.
Gerald Sherman, Mrs. Walter
Higgins, Mrs. Charles Gustaf
son, Mrs. Robert Hoftstetter,
Mrs. Dave Allen and Mrs.
Robert Backus presented the
purpose of the mission proj
ects to which proceeds from
the World Day of Prayer of
fering goes each year. Mrs.
Snow had written and direct
ed this dramatic and informa
tive portion of the program.
During this period it was
pointed out that both home
and mission fields share in
this, interdenominational mis
sion giving. Assisted are cen
ters for -study of Christian
home and family life, inter
change' or Christian leader
ship, friendly relations with
foreign - students, Indian
Americans, agricultural migrants,-
