Employment Legislation Topic for Altrusa Panel Recent legislation aimed at preventing discrimination in employment because of age, and its effect on the older woman in particular, was the topic of a panel discussion at a dinner meeting of the Al trusa club of Medford at the Rogue Valley Country club Thursday. Mrs. Enid Rankin, vocation al information chairman, in introducing the panel mem bers, said that employment opportunities for the older woman has been a vital con cern of the Altrusa club since 1939. John Patton, director of the Medford office of the Oregon State Employment service, ad vised that the new state laws prohibit employers from us ing age as a specification in NOW AT... 3 Corner 6th & Central Downstairs at MEDFORD PHARMACY MODELLA 9 Sleep-Drye Diaper Cover Mitey-Drye Diaper Liner Na more old-fishioned, airtight rubber or plastic pants needed when you use "Sleep-Drye" . . this all cotton water-repellent diaper cover let's baby's body breathe, yet confines all wet ness to the diapers to keep out er cloths dry.

SP 2-6253 hiring workers, unless they can show that age is a genu ine job performance require ment. He spoke of the need for educating the public to the realization that arbitrary assignment of age limits for jobs is generally meaningless, and that in the near future about half of the country's new labor force must neces sarily come from the group we call the "older worker." Col. C. L. Williams, em ployment chairman of the Rogue Valley Council on Ag ing, also stressed the need for education along these lines. He said that little or no at tention is paid in the teaching of social sciences to what hap pens to a person during the period of his life after he has achieved success and has re tired. Besides the financial need for employment by older people, Col. Williams said, there is a psychological need to regain status. Mrs. Nick A. Gerritsen, so cial studies chairman of Med ford branch, American Asso ciation of University Women, reported on a survey of em ployers which AAUW is mak ing throughout the country. Information such as the age of employees, retraining pro grams, pension plans, and rat ing scales is being compiled for use in the national study of the problems of the aging population. Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Lucine Miles and Miss Grace Stuhr. A short business meeting was con ducted by Miss Myrta Otter dale, president. Guests pres ent, in addition to the panel members, were Victor Peter son and Virgil H. Mohr. 4 Travelers Return To Centra!

Special yd Sixth and Central ?3 Potpourri hopes that today's picture page and the ac companying material will bring many recruits for the Friend ly Visitor s Service. Such volunteers are urgently needed. It takes but one visit to almost any convalescent or nursing home to show the need for friendly, cheerful and willing workers to help the residents and patients in the homes. Women and men interested in learning more about the the Friendly Visitors may call Mrs. Judd Greeman or Mrs. Chester Guches. In some ways this service is easy in others it is difficult. There are those quite overwhelmed by the sight of the aged so crowded together in quarters sometimes not as well suited for the purpose as they should be. Op erators of these homes are often the first to admit that larger and roomier and more modern structures are needed, but somehow the money is not always available. Americans are noted for their lavish cars and clothes and huge expenditures for liquor and cigarettes; yet we have trouble providing money enough for proper schools, hospitals and homes for the aged and ill. Photographer Robert Vroman, along with some forward looking architects and social workers, has ideas about the construction of institutions for the aged. He believes that some, at least, should be small units, constructed in com pound fashion around courts or gardens and parks. In these small, one or two-room apartments, built with the needs of the infirm and aged in mind, single patients, or husbands and wives, could live in comparative privacy but with nurses, attendants and doctors close at hand. Dining rooms could be operated for the residents, and recreation rooms and areas provided. If there are such institutions in other cities or states, we would be interested to learn if the arrangement is not considered superior. Some of the women who make regular visits to nursing homes find this activity extremely rewarding. The women of Travel Study club, for instance, have expanded their ef forts at one of the homes and now help the residents by buying new and used clothing and other necessities. The owner of one cleaning establishment cleans the clothing, sometimes purchased at rummage sales, without charge as his contribution to the project. The society gals, always interested in different names, added a couple to the list last week. At the Mitchell sani tarium in Jacksonville we met Pearl Snow, "Pearl" in this instance being an interesting gentleman who formerly lived in Pendleton. We also met a woman with a most unusual name Tarcy Tracy. Try that on your linotype machine! Potpourri saw an unusual sight last week, too. Mann's department store with the counters, where merchandise for sale can be displayed and examined, given over to water colors, oil paintings and wood carvings. The works were displayed by members of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists. Although having the pictures on the counters made work somewhat harder for the clerks, we heard no complaints. Both Claire Proctor and Doris Caldwell said the display had been an interesting experiment and Mrs. Proctor added "it was a challenge to our salesmanship." She said, proudly, "I even sold two pictures." We learned that the staff had been surprised at the large number of persons who came in to see the paintings and carvings. However, no one should be surprised any more at the local interest in art. March 5 Mrs. Tom Staley and her son, Don, held a mother-son show at Girls Community club. They were quite astounded when more than 600 persons at tended the show, in spite of driving rain a great part of the day, and the two sold a number of paintings. The three Staleys dreamed up advertising for the show, and also handed out ballots, an art directory and an art dictionary, all mimeographed on colorful paper. At one point in the literature the writer (we're not sure which Staley) said concerning artistically bad nudes, that nude walls are what is really bad and added "a dead, drab wall is a stupid thing to live with. It can bore you to deatn. you got one.' What is it doing to you, to your children, friends, customers, patients, clients. A painting you like can radically transform the whole place and you know it. Remember, 50,000 years ago this magic was discovered by stone age men in caves Dut a oicture on the wall." So, when a department store takes its merchandise off the counters and displays paintings, and a mother-son show can attract 600 visitors, someone must be interested in local artistic effort. The society editor was about to get behind the wheel of Doll T, parked at the gas pump, when a woman hurried up and asked, apologetically, "Do you mind if I watch while you get in? I've always wondered where the feet go in cars like this!" We got in and she peered down to look inside and said "Why, there's a lot of room in there!" We assured her there certainly was, we both smiled and parted friends. O.S.
