2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, April 6, 1959
General Federation Officer Says
Sphere of Women Now
"There is no limit to wom
en's sphere," said Mrs. Dexter
O. Arnold, Concord. N. H.,
third vice president of the
General Federation of Wom
en's club, who spoke for the
46th annual convention of the
First District of the Oregon
Federation Saturday in Illin
ois Valley High school, Cave
Junction. .
Mrs. Arnold added that if
women are to meet the chal
lenge which modern day liv
ing presents she must be ready
with knowledge, must be able
to weigh facts and to act when
needed.
Mrs. Arnold's topic was
'Unity in Diversity and Worn
an's Sphere." Although there
are five and one-half million
members in the United States,
fewer than 20 per cent of the
women in this country belong
to women's federated clubs,
Mrs. Arnold said.
Oregon has the smallest
membership of any state in
the union, she added, but said
that "some of the finest state
ments of club women have
come from Oregon. Many
women want to do something
for their community, the fed
eration leader said, but do not
get a chance.
Mrs. Arnold said there is
need for new clubs and addi
tional members and added "in
unity theje is strength. United,
our voice can be very import
ant and very large. She stress
ed that clubs should meet their
community's needs.
"There is a near , look and
far look," the speaker said.
"The near look is your own
club; the far look goes be
yond self, beyond state and
into the world - this is be
longing to the federation."
She added that "We need to
learn humility."
During a question and an
swer period, Mrs. Arnold sug
gested that parents could
easily solve the problem of
their children watching shot
gun shows on television by a
simple turn of the knob on
the set.
Mrs. Arnold, a past presi
dent of the New Hampshire
Federation of Women's club,
was introduced by Mrs.
Walter Brown, Klamath Falls,
Oregon Federation president.

Bird Woman is
Of Largest Pet
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-flJPD-Dorothy L.
Bader doesn't bat a deftly-mas-caraed
eyelash when people
call her "the
bird woman.''
Her job is
with pets
t h o usands of
them from
parakeets to a
wolf-whistling
mynah named
"Charlie"-and
she loves it.
Gay Pauley "You ought
to do a story on this woman,"
said our office receptionist,
Frances Mullaney, back from
a lunch hour of shopping. "I
was in Macy's and here was
the manager of its -pet shop
looking more like a model
than anything else."
So. A trip to the fourth
floor of the store, which
claims it has the largest pet
department in the country.
Experts With Pets
Miss Bader proved to look
as Frances said very tall,
very blonde, very blue-eyed,
very pretty. 'Also, very expert
with pets. ,
"Like to see a canary take
a nap?" she asked. With that,
a gentle hand reached into a
cage full of our fine feather
ed friends, pulled out a sur
prised canary.
Within seconds, the tiny bit
of yellow fluff was lying flat
on its back in her open palm,
its legs stuck skyward, and
settled down for a snooze.
"All in knowing how to
handle birds," she smiled.
"The art comes with time, pa
tience and fortitude."
Charlie Not At Home
"I would like you to meet
Charlie, but he's out today,
on loan for an exhibit. Charlie
is my own mynah, but I leave
him here at the shop most of
the time.
"He has a vocabulary of
75 phrases, including "Where's
everybody going?" "What's
the matter?", and "Hello,
baby." When he et's go with
his wolf whistle, you can hear
him practically to Gimbel's."
At one time, she said,
Macy's had a rather pompous
minor executive who often
visited the pet center. He ap
parently got on Charlie's
nerves, but Charlie kept his
peace until one day he
loosened up enough to yell,
"Aw, shedd up."
Dorothy Bader, a native of
Detroit, studied at the Uni
versity of Michigan, and once
plamed to be a veterinarian.

with the Hartz Mountain
Seed company. Ten years ago,
she joined Macy's, and for
three years has managed the

tropical fish and accessories

DEAF HAN PERFECTS
SMALLEST HEARING AID
Los Angeles - April 2 A remarkable midget hearing
aid has been perfected by a man who has been hard of
hearing for nearly 20 years.
This new small aid has no dangling cords or separate
transmitting units and was announced in California today as
the most revolutionary product ever to appear on the market
for the hard of hearing.
It is especially made for those people who can hear but
not understand. This new hearing instrument provides "ear
level" hearing with the wearer picking up speech, sound,
television and radio at his ear rather than at a transmitter
located in the wearer's clothing.
Due to the use of 4 transistors, the user cost is extremely
low and the instrument weighs approximately Vk ounce. It is
about the size of a sewing thimble.
For further details without
Welch, 1965 So. Holt Ave., Los
will receive full information.

Blame for World
Ills Broadened
Portland - (UPD - The 71st
annual convention of the Epis
copal Diocese of Oregon was
told Sunday that Communism
cannot be blamed for all the
world's disorder.
Bishop James W. F. Carman
told the convention that "we
cannot lay the blame at the
feet of Communism, for that
answer .seems - a (little too
simple to explain what s been
going on in the world long
before Communism rose to
its present power."
He added, "some evil, more
deeply rooted in mankind
than the communist revolu
tion is causing these recurr
ing disorders.' Call it mater
ialism, call it atheism, call it
secularism, call it national
ism, call it greed, call it hate,
call it injustice call it what
you will.
"But the evil stalking the
modern world ist a deadly
epidemic of all these moral
disorders. The root trouble is
that men are not living hu
man life as God intended it
to be lived."
Bishop Carman last year
replaced the Rt. Rev. Benja
min D. Dagwell as head of
the Oregon Diocese.
