LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANERS
Your Professional Laundry
Serving the Rogue Valley for Over 50 Years
By CLAIRE COX
United Press International
New York (UPD Sociolo
gists are looking to a group
of midwesterners for a pos
sible answer to a worrisome
problem what becomes oi
mother after the children
grow up.
science has been patting
itself on the back for helping
women turn middle - aged
without feeling older. 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."
