Salvation Army
Group Leaves
For Congress
This morning a group of
Salvation Army Home league
members left for San Fran
cisco, Calif., where they will
attend the Home League Con
gress. This is the first such Con
gress held in the Western
United States. There will be
an estimated 2,000 de.egates
to the Congress from the
Western states including Alas
ka and Hawaii. General and
Mrs. Wilfred Kitching from
London, England, and the
present leaders of the World
Wide Salvation Army will
lead the Congress.
All women attending from
the State of Oregon will rep

line M. Cha, China, freshman
in general engineering.
All freshmen take a general
engineering course before se
lecting major fields.
In the 70-year history of the
engineering school at OSC,
only about 100 women have
enrolled, and only 15 of them
have continued on to gradua
tion. Miss Juckeland has made
an excellent record during her
four years of work and will
rank about 12th among the
100 mechanical engineering
graduates this year.
Opportunities exist in every
field of engineering for wom
en, Gleeson says. Industry
wants the feminine viewpoint
with many companies design
ing their products to appeal
to women, he points out. Engineering-trained
women are
always in demand also as tech
nical librarians, editors of
technical brochures and maga
zines, and as secretaries in en
gineering firms, according to
the OSC dean.
Many women engineering
graduates have become out
standing in their fields, Glee
son observed. A government
report shows 7000 women en
gineers in the U.S. Starting
salaries for men and women
are comparable.

Six women and 1500 men are enrolled in engineering
at Oregon State college this year, and according to the dean
of the school, George Gleeson, the six co-eds are all out
standing. Strangely enough, three of the young women are
from Klamath Falls. One is from Portland, one from
Springfield, and the sixth is from China.
Dean Gleeson says that there is a definite place for
women in engineering - industry wants the feminine view
point, particularly in the field of designing products which
women will use in the home. There is also a demand for
technical librarians, editors of brochures and magazines,
and for secretaries with technical training.
A few days ago a story came down from OSC saying
that there is a need for more women to enroll in home
economics. This is a wide field which offers countless
opportunities, and one which not only means a rewarding
career but gives training which proves invaluable to the
woman who later becomes a homemaker and mother.
Material which constantly comes to this desk also indi
cates that there are serious shortages in other career fields
for women. The teacher shortage is acute, nurses are in
I great demand, there are not
We ve often been told that an intelligent, competent secre
tary can always find a position.
On the opposite side of the picture stand the unem
ployment figures - somewhere an the neighborhood of six
million, one commentator said yesterday while reporting
the "labor march" on Washington. We've never seen the
figures broken down as to how many are men and women,
but a great share of them must be females.
The obvious answer to these two pictures' seems to be
training and further education. If there are many unem
ployed who cannot find work, and there are fields where
shortages exist, an effort must be made to channel the
overflow into the fields and professions where workers
are needed.
. Re-training isn't always possible of course, particularly
for the older person, but the

their education, rather than quitting in high school or early
