Year Opens For Crater PTAUnit Central Point - Crater High School Parent-Teacher asso ciation has launched a pro gram of activity which In volves parents, teachers and students. Recently this group complied over 700 brochures which were distributed among the faculty members and were mailed to the parents of all the students.

It's the only way you'll get that equality of t lie sexes so many of you seek. Now, there may he some of you who don't want equality with the men. But these arc just hpvnnH the un- md dcrstanding or Gay Pauley c O m p rcllCIl sion of Judge Dorothy Ken yon, a .woman caught up in more causes than Eleanor Roo sevelt. It is to those others that this woman lawyer and "caus er" is talking - to all of you who think women deserve equal pay for equal work; to thosr who believe women should have equal job op portunities with men; and to those who want fatter roles In politics for women. Women Need 'Gumption' "Women still sit back and let hubby do the talking," said Miss Kenyon, a hyper active woman of 72 years. "Until women get a little more gumption and the men a little more sense, all the legis lation In the world won't pro vide full equal rights. What we have to do is change na tional habits and customs . . , change our thinking. 'We have to start judging Medford Woman Speaks for Club Mrs. Clay M.

Main - Medford and Dr. Bert Buffington 317 E. Pine St. Central Point Gumption, Declares on performance rather than by sex. I for one find the label 'woman lawyer' distasteful. I'm a lawyer, period." Lawyer Kenyon served as a municipal judge under the late Mayor Fiorello LaGuar dia of New York, was one of the founders of the American Labor party, and from 1046 through 1950 served as the first U. S. delegate to the United Notions Conference on the Status of Women. She is the daughter of an attorney, her uncle was a fed eral judge in Iowa, and broth ers and cousins also are law yers. Dorothy Kenyon is a graduate of Smith college and New York university law school. It takes three pages, legal size and single-spaced, to list the posts she has held or now holds from one with the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa societies to one with the New York county Demo cratic committee. The list includes past or present membership on com mittees for integration of the New York public schools, city, county, state, national and in ternational bar asociations, on committees for community co operatives, juvenile delinquen cy, international relations, and relief and welfare organiza tions. Fights for Rights Her greatest number of years of volunteer work has gone to the American Civil Liberties Union, of which she is secretary and a director. She has worked since 19.51 with the private organization devoted to carrying out the Bill of Rights. "I try to volunteer where my legal background will be helpful, she said. When I asked Miss Kenyon how she managed to find time for so many volunteer proi eels and still run a successful career at corporation law, she laughed and said, "I'm the t y pe so temperamentally equipped that if I'm offered a choice of two roads, I'll try to take them both." Although she no longer is active on the UN committee, she keeps up with women's progress world-wide especial ly in the fields of suffrage and employment practices. "All over the world, the wage level for women gener ally is lower than that for men doing the same job," she said. "This is something pri vate enterprise will have to help on , . , legislation can't do it all. "But our status certainly has improved in voting rights. In 1945, less than half the nn t ions of the world hod given women suffrage. Today, it's practically everywhere.

By FLUHRER'S BAKERY Social Events Incomprehensibles Noted By Guatemalan Visitor By MARGARET SCHULER Ever since I came to Guate mala, I've kept a quickie note book where I jot tidbits about life here - amusing and oth erwise. My latest cryptoclas tic is a reference to a bill from a Medford plumber - $15 for two hours work, and the jot was the contrast between la bor in these two American countries. Two men servants in the pension where I live, who be gin the day's work at 5:30 a.m. and end it at 10 at night, with three hours off every other Sunday, earn $15 a month. This seems tragic to me - but, also, so does the plumbing bill. Five graduates from the lovely Belmont school are paying $800 to rent a club room for a ball. This does not include food, music or cham pagne. To have a bottle of champagne popped here -just the popping, naturally -costs $5. (Champagne - im ported - costs more than in the States. My classroom is a rough though - charming little cot tage behind the big school building. Windows and doors are always open,-and there are picture views from any angle - flowers, trees and grass. The driveway winds around to the back and the pupils alight from the chauffeur-opened automobile doors. Prevailing wages for chauf feurs, I understand, begin at $15 a month. Sweaters Popular Sweaters among the young er set - as everywhere - are popular. Many sweaters. Im ported sweaters costing $10 $15 more than in the States. Tailors are reasonable in Guatemala, and I imagine many a man would envy the "man of distinction" effect of Guatemalan young man at Belmont. Although not in the luxury neighborhood of the city, the pension where I live is in a good district, surrounded by good homes and churches. My bedroom faces the street and has a very large prelty win dow with the ornate, typical wrought iron grating. When I sit (as I do Saturday morn ings) in front of the open win dow, I see how the Guate malan world wags. I have dis covered that when I put a food tidbit in the window, it disappears almost instantly. So, I now take whatever food that is takable from my table. and sit behind my glass cur tains to see what manner of man is interested in a piece of roll, an avocado, a cookie. Birds swoop - and so do peo ple! The paint industry offers this tip for covering small cigarette burns on rugs. Just dab the burn with a little paint of the same shade. maternity support provides the comfort you require with the proper figure control! Sometimes I see them, some times I'm busy reading or writing, and do not. Food 'ias just disappeared! But one day I set a little plant in the win dow for sunshine, and along came a dear, distinguished looking, quaint old man, with a Van Dyke beard. He had al most passed when he turned, reached in with his long fin gars and clutched the pot. Then I did, perhaps, an un kind thing. I moved gently behind my shelter, and ho dropped it quickly and moved on. I may have written about the tiny barefooted shoo shiner who comes regularly twice a week, and for ten cents a pair, keeps "mi zapa tos" shining. One day, sev eral months ago, before I was altogether acquainted with Guatemalan customs, and all little fellows looking Identi cal to me, I gave the shoes to the wrong boy. He was pol ishing and rubiiing when I first lookeJ up, and then when I glanced again he was gone, and so were my best S20 U.S. American shoes. Who profited from my loss I can't imagine, because my feet are much larger than anyone I see in this city of dainty peo ple. Instead of trial and error here, I have learned by nu merous losses a sweater gent ly pulled out from behind ma at a theater, my handbag opened and the coin purse "lifted" at a fancy wedding at a large church, my glasses left for two seconds on a dry goods counter, etc. I'm not bitter or critical about my losses. What would I do had I the motive and tha opportunity to acquire so easily - a sweater, a purse and shoes - especially from a citizen of the great Imper ialist country!
