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

opportunities for the older
woman has been a vital con
cern of the Altrusa club since
1939.

prohibit employers from us

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

members, were Victor Peter

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.
