Employment
At Altrusa-Sponsored Meeting
How an older woman can
find employment, and keep it,
was discussed by a panel of
speakers at a dinner meeting
of Medford Aitrusa club held
Thursday night at North's
Chuck Wagon. Aid to older
women needing employment
has been a continuing proj
ect of Aitrusa club, both on
a local and national basis, for
several years.
Miss Dana Platz, who oper
ates an employment agency
in Medford, said that while
finding work for an older
woman is a definite problem,
clear thinking on the matter
is obscured by many "glitter
ing generalities." These are
based on a grain of truth and
fact, but have grown out of
proportion, she said.
Americans like to believe
that 'life begins at 40'," said
Miss Platz, "but . the grim
truth is that life ends at 35,
as far as employment goes."
The speaker said that while
obviously many older persons
do find employment, it is also
true that when an employer
calls an agency, he almost al
ways asks for a young person.
The speaker gave a list of
employment age brackets,
which she said are based on
national thinking. When an
employer asks for a "young"
person, he means someone be
tween 17 and 22 years of
Speaker Urges Changes
In Free Election System
The Republican party might
do well to change its name,
and certainly should work to
improve Ihe nation s free elec
tion system according to Peter
Gunnar, Salem, chairman of
the Oregon Republican Cen
tral committee told a women's
luncheon meeting yesterday.
The chairman talked for
Jackson County unit of the
Oregon Federation of Wom
en's Republican clubs at
North's Chuck Wagon. Mr.
Gunnar said If the party
should contemplate changing
Its name, he suggested The
Freedom Party. The change
would help overcome "histor
ical disadvantages that plague
us," said the speaker, and
"more basically, freedom is
what our parly and its philos
ophy is really about.
"We want our government
lo be so constructed and to
operate in such a manner that
each American can freely
choose his destiny with full
freedom of opportunity and
limited only by what In
fringes upon the freedom of
others. We want all Ameri
cans happy, well fed, well
clothed, well housed, well ed
ucated, healthy and secure,
not at the expense of their
neighbors but by the free ex
ercise of their own abilities
and Initiatives In a free so
ciety under a system of free
enterprise."
Improve Election!
Mr. Gunnar continued by
saying that one threat to the
nations freedom Is In our
own free election system." He
stressed that ballots must be
shortened, and said that with
so many Issues and candidates
on the primary ballots, no one
could possibly have adequate
knowledge of all the candl
dates and Issues. He said "the
first and most logical step In
this process would be to take
the election of convention
delegates and party officials
off the primary ballots and
have them elected by a parly
convention.
He said Ihe next slop would
be Ihe adoption of the "most
modern nominating process
that of (he Connecticut pre
primary convention called (he
challenge primary system
This would result In better
candidates more responsible
lo the party, he declared
Mr. Gunnar also advocated
a study of the governmental
processes by the legislature,
and said a start was being
made this session under Gov.
Murk Hatfield. "Responsibil
ity for governmental acts
must lie clearly with some
official who can be removed
either by Ihe people at the
polls or by some higher offi
cial eleeled by the people,"
the speaker said.
Strenet Home Rule
The GOP chairman said
that the same problems exists
In county government, and
"each of us should take a
great Interest in the adoption
of county home rule."
He outlined as the third
threat to freedom the fact that
money "Is one of the greatest
political powers." He spoke
of the high cost of campaigns,
said thousands of citizens in
Oregon arc making forced po
litical contributions and have
no choice In the use of the
money. "No free American
should be forced lo contribute
for political purposes," Mr.
Gunnar argued, and added
that the legislature should
pass an amendment to the
Corrupt Practices Act niakinit

Problems Discussed
age, she said. If he thinks In
terms of an "ideal" age, it is
24 to 39; 36 to 45 years is
considered "middle' age as
far as employment goes, and
anything over 45 is "old" age,
Miss Platz said.
Seven Reaioni
The agency director said
most employers can give
seven reasons why they don't
want to hire anyone over 35
years of age. These are: They
don't train easily, they can't
work under pressure, they
can't think fast enough, they
can't change their habits and
ideas, they haven't enough
physical stamina, they don't
mix well with other employ
ees and they can't be fitted
into a retirement program at
that age.
Miss Platz said that there
is a wealth of facts to refute
these reasons, but that they
continue to exercise great In
fluence on employment prac
tices. Many older persons can
be trained for new work, they
can work under pressure, they
do think fast, many have great
mental agility and survey
shows that older women often
have better "on the job" rec
ords as far as illness goes
than younger individuals, she
said.
However, the retirement
programs are one real handi
cap, she declared, since they
contributions of any kind at
or near a person's place of
employment or by any check
off or deduction program
from his salary or wages.
Asked during the question
period if he had proof thai
this was done during the last
campaign, he offered a name
and place, and detailed the
circumstances.
Labor unions should be In
cluded with corporations as
prohibited contributors to po
litical campaigns, the speaker
declared.
The GOP chairman said he
believed the "upturn In Dem
ocratic registration has reach
ed its peak and will now level
off while Republican regis
trations will once again begin
lo rise." He urged party mem
bers to work among the young
people.
A Republican victory at the
polls in the 1062 election was
forecast by Mr. Gunnar, and
he said the party has a back
log of "able, intelligent, vigor
ous and articulate candidates,
both 1 n and out of office,
which can be drawn upon in
1062 and 1064."
At one point he mentioned
Governor Hatfield's "massive
reorganization program which
the Democrats praise and sup
port." He praised Republican
women for their work during
the 1060 campaign.
Mrs. E. A. Lltlrell presid
ed over the luncheon, which
attracted more than 90 men
and women, and Mrs. Edward
Sickels Introduced Mr. Gun
nar. Beef School
Announced
Jackson County Cow Belles
have planned the annual beef
cookery school for Thursday,
January 28. It will be held at
the Red Cross chapter house
on Hawthorne street begin,
nlng at 1:30 p.m.
Mrs. Beverly Lyons, home
economist for Ihe California-
Oregon Power company, will
give the lesson. Various ways
of preparing and cooking dif
ferent cuts of beef will be
demonstrated, with emphasis
on "budget conscious meals.
The school has attracted
much attention in past years.

and prizes will be given,
Refreshments will be. served

Groups Hold
Dinner Session
The Southern Oregon Ostco
pathlc society and auxiliary
met for a no-host dinner on
Tuesday night at North's
Chuck Wagon. Plans were
made to supply toys and
games for young patients at
Crater Osteopathic hospital
and also to provide gift boxes
for mothers of new babies.
It was reported thai Dr. and
Mrs. J. Scott Heatherlngton
Oregon City, formerly of Med
ford, will attend Ihe national
auxiliary mld-winler conven
tion January 23-26 In Miami,
Flnric
Florida. Both will be dele-
are planned to start when an
employee is young.
Miss Platz believes that "It
all depends on the individual"
and that employers are wrong
not to at least interview older
persons when they need work
ers. "The problem of age must
be conquered by each work
er," she declared.
She spoke concerning the
bill which was passed by the
last Oregon legislature and
which forbids an employer
to refuse work to anyone be
cause of age. At first, the law
was the object of much atten
tion, she said, but it proved
unenforceable and is now be
lng largely ignored. "You
can't make an employer hire
someone if he doesn't wish to
do so," she said. She added
that the law had accom
plished one good-it at least
opens up an interview during
which the person seeking
work has a chance to impress
a prospective employer.
. Miss Platz, seeking an an
swer to the problem ol era
ploying older persons said,
"You can't legislate social re
form; it must be brought
about by a change in think
ing." Miss Frances Clink, chief
nurse with the Jackson Coun
ty Public Health department,
concurred with Miss Platz in
the belief that generalities
are clouding the true picture
and that each individual must
be considered separately. She
asked "What would happen to
business and industry in
America if all those over 35
went home because they are
too old to be good employees?"
She said the worker who
reaches 45 must condition her
self for "age shocks," try to
keep her physical condition
good and her mind alert.
'Have many interests," she
counseled, "and keep your
self well-groomed."
Miss Clink said that sur
veys have shown that while
employers demand the young
workers, these "often fall far
short in performance." She
added that many firms report
that older workers are more
dependable than the younger
ones." She warned that older
persons going into the busi
ness world for the first time,
and particularly those who
have done much volunteer
work, must remember "that
they are just staff and not ex
ecutives.
Trie public heallh nurse
pointed out that from the
standpoint of the community
and government, "tne earn
ings of the older worker are
needed; the nation needs those
who will produce tax money
and not be a drain on the pub
lic economy."'
Nursing Field Open
Miss Lotus Eaton, an indus
trial nurse, and Mrs. Bertha
Morrill, instructor for the
school for practical nurses in
Jackson county, pointed out
that the field of practical nurs
ing solves the employment
problem for many older wom
en. The local school takes
women between the ages of 17
and 51.
Mrs. Morrill explained the
scope of the course, said all
the women in the first class,
graduated last fall, had passed
their slate tests, including all
those in the upper age brack
et; all but one arc now work
ing. The Instructor praised At
truss, a classified service club
for business and professional
women, for Its Interest In the
problems of older women and
recalled that the club had fi
nancially assisted one of the
women in the 1060 nursing
class.
During a question period
Mrs. Myrna Frink. public
school principal, said "there is
great respect for the older
teacher" in that profession
and added thai some of the
teachers in their silxies "are
the best in the field."
In concluding, Miss Platz
said "We're all guilty of gen
eralities in the problem of the
older worker." It was stressed
that the public attitude must
be changed.
Older persons seeking em
ployment, particularly those
who have been out of (he busi
ness and industrial world for
a number of years, must be
helped lo adjust, must be re
trained and must have their
confidence restored, It was
pointed out. This must be the
job of the employer, the com
munity, friends and relatives.
Mrs. Bereth Hopkins, mod
erator for the panel and dis
cussion, said the problem of
the older worker warrants the
continued, best attention of
everyone. Mrs. Virginia Sher
wood, president, presided.

Classic Folk
By Philharmonic Society
Hansel and Gretel," a long
time favorite classic folk tale,
was brought alive for children
of the Rogue Valley over the
week end. Several hundred
children and young people, as
well as ifiany adults, saw and
enjoyed the performances
staged by the Philharmonic
Society of Southern Oregon
at Medford High school audi
torium Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon.
The Sunday afternoon au
dience was much the largest,
which is probably just as well,
since Saturday's performance
was somewhat ragged.
The vocalists who per
formed fully deserved the ap
plause they won from both
audiences. Sylvia DeVoss, who
lives at Talent, sang the role
of Gretel and Lois Utterback,
who came up from California,
was Hansel. Both have fine,
well-trained voices which
blended beautifully and both
have enough acting ability
and stage presence to give a
pleasing performance.
Sue Boe. Grants Pass, an
other accomplished vocalist,
appeared as the mother and
Maynard Hadley, Medford,
was the father. Mr. Hadley
uses his rich voice to good
advantage, and projects his
warm personality from the
slaee. Violet Hunter sang the
unsvmDathetic role of the
witch, and brought an appre
ciative reaction from the
young in the audience when
she went "flying" around the
stage on her broomstick. Din
ana Hunter was the Sandman,
and Julie Gandt the Dewman.
Colleen Hope trained 14
voung girls to dance the angel
scene, and these favorably im
pressed the audience. They
were appropriately clad, their
costumes of white gauze be
ing completed with little
wings and glittery halos.
A group of McLoughlin Jun
ior High school girls, trained
by Ray Lewis, were the chil
dren's chorus for the final
scene.
The setting, while simple,
was good and the third scene
was especially colorful. The

This reviewer attended the
Saturday night performance
and afterwards a member of
the Philharmonic society said
to us "Be charitable in your
review. You cannot imagine
the difficulties and troubles
under which the last rehearsal
and this performance were
held. It will be smoother to
morrow." We understand thai
it was, indeed, better on Sun
day. We heard several in the
audience remark that the or
chestra was much too heavy
and overpowering for the
singers; that such productions,
somehow, must have more
rehearsal lime if they are to
be a real credit to the Phil
harmonic. Regardless of the quality
of the performances last week
end, this reviewer does hon
estly believe that the valley
is fortunate in having music
ians capable of presenting the
Humperdinck opera. As we
have pointed out in the past,
the musicians and others who
work with and for the Phil
harmonic society do so out of
a sense of civic duty and for
the personal satisfaction they
derive. Many are grateful for
the music they provide.-O.S.
