Los Angeles-(liPD-The Jen; eral Federation of Women's clubs today was praised as one of the few remaining free forums for the expression of ideas by Mrs. Beatrice Fuerst, national consultant on volun teer activities for the National Foundation. Speaking at the 68th an nual convention of the GFWC, Mrs. Fuerst called on the or ganization to use its educa tional powers to impress upon ine American people tnat a voluntary , system of health protection and scientific re search is as necessary to America as a free economy and an industrial framework of free enterprise. "Without health," Mrs Fuerst said, "life must be lived at its lowest ebb. With' out neaun mere can be no education. Without education there can be no democracy or economy. And without those fundamentals which are the essence of democracy in its irue sense, mere can be no cultural or spiritual progress in any civilization." Mrs. Fuerst stressed the im portance of voluntary health agencies "through which every woman will find an op portunity for good civic house keeping. The world needs your example. For yours is by far the greatest single model of voluntary pioneer ing against disease to be found anywhere on this planet." ' Mildred White Wells, di rector of the GFWC's com munity achievement contest presented "All This and Heaven Too," a dramatization of the rewards, both tangible and intangible, of entering the contest. ' ' . ." . Sponsored by the GFWC in operation with the Sears-Roe buck Foundation, the contest is open to all member clubs of the GFWC around the world.

WASH 'M 1VEAR machine drip fcy The president of an organization with more than three million members believes that , women's groups would do better if they got rid of some of thered tape. Mrs. William Barclay Parsons, who says "it takes months to go through channels" in most women's organizations, believes the whole business is getting worse instead of better. Mrs. Parson i nrpsiHnt nf h TCatinnal Poiinpil of nvbmen of the United States, International . Council embracing women's groups in 44 non-Communist countries. She says membership in the in ternational group is in the millions, but there is no accurate count. Mrs. Parsons, in an interview with Gay Pauley of the United Press in New York, said the aim of the organiza tion is to "exchange ideas to work together on problems of special interest to women. She listed child welfare, edu cation, health, housing, human relations, the arts, inter national relations, family planning and moral welfare. For instance, her group is working towards having atomic energy used only for peaceful purposes. The women's editor of The Mail Tribune, agrees with Mrs. Parsons and we'll go even further. Some women's organizations - and men's - could be abolished and would, never be missed. We never heard of Mrs. Parson's National Council of Women of the United States. However, its pro gram and purposes sound very much like the General Federation of Women's clubs, which boasts of 11 million members. Are they covering the same- field? In recent years more and more women-and men-have been speaking out about the wastefulness of many organi zations. They waste the time and energy of the member ship, and they waste money. Some women are beginning to drag their feet over the numerous drives - last winter Mrs. Ernest Barr? sent Potpourri a story from Arizona quoting members of the Prescott (Arizona) Woman's club. The "Prescott women flatly said they were "fed up" with the dozens of national fund-raising drives and voted to go on strike. The gals said they would refuse to work on any more fund campaigns unless the drives were unified. They also said they would campaign for a city-county ordinance barring house-to-house collections. . The two women worked hard all day cleaning house. They carried all but the heaviest furniture out of the living and dining rooms, the ceiling and walls were cleaned, the wood work and windows washed, the furniture was polished and 'the floor cleaned and waxed. After the furni ture was back in place and the draperies hung again, the two dead-tired females looked at the results and felt a glow of accomplishment.' The head of the household came home and after a stint in the garden, settled down in his easy chair. After a time his helpmate remarked that she was "done in" but didn't he think the results were wonderful? After a time he looked up and asked, vaguely, "What did you do today?" . Three-year-old Brent Bosworth, bidding his grandmother, Mrs. Cora Wing, good-bye, had a, thought for the coming day. "Thank you for the chocolate you'll give me tomorrow," he said. O.S. - New York -(UPD- The num ber of American households has tripled .since the turn of the century while household size has declined steadily, ac cording to the National "In dustrial Conference Board. From a total of 16 million in 1900, the nation's house holds grew to 50 million in 1958, but the size of the av erage household dropped from 4.6 persons in 1900 to 3.4 last year. .
