Now it is taking all the efforts sociol ogists can muster to make women like what is happen ing to them. The problem is this: What can a woman do to keep ac tive and feel useful after her children have left home? A program developed in Cleveland may be the answer. At least, officials of the United Community Funds and Coun cil of America hope so. The Cleveland program is carried on by several organi zations, one of them the Wel fare Federation, a member of the national council. The course is called "measuring up-a career clinic for older women." "Older" Defined By "older" the experts who run the clinic mean any woman 35 or over who cannot find a job because employ ers do not think she is young enough. Personnel directors constantly are looking for girls in their late teens or 20's to fill clerical and stenograph ic jobs. Frequently when they decide to try an "older" wom an in such work, they find they have hit a gold mine. Women who enroll in the Cleveland clinic are charged a nominal fee of $5 to attend 12 classes for six weeks. They hear lectures on how to apply for a job, what to wear when applying, office etiquette, how to get along with other work ers, what salary to expect and where the best opportunities lie. One of their biggest gains is in developing self-confidence. Most women who take the course feel too timid after years of housework to ven ture into a school, factory of office to ask for jobs. But after they have met for six weeks , and discussed their mutual problems, they dis cover quite a few persons are in their boat and that alone gives them confidence. Changes Women "I've always felt I was kind of dumb," one woman said on entering the course. "I didn't finish high school, you know, and I never had any kind of job except a wait ress. My neighbors say now, 'What's got into you, you're different' and I am different since that career clinic." A white-haired, 57-year-old woman, who had not worked since she left high school after the 10th grade to be married, became so fired with enthusiasm as a result of the clinic that she talked herself into an office job. A teacher who had quit 25 years before to be married thought she would like to do office work, but she wound up going back to college for a refresher course and becoming a teach er again. Most women who have tak en the course have found jobs that they like. Some have not sought jobs, however. They just needed assurance that they could get work if they wanted it. ' ; Record Good The records established by the women have become so impressive that employers now seek them out. One said that he was tired of hiring young women only to have them quit to keep house for their husbands. . . "The one I hired is 45," he said, "but since I'm only a couple of years older, I don't call her 'older' any more. So far, she's the best secretary I've had in five years."
