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

we have to do is change na

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. You
know the one long-time hold
out ... a small nation with
one of Europe's oldest gov
ernments. Switzerland.
"The men just sit there on
their Alpine peaks and defy
the world."

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!
