Sponsored by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, National Business Women's Week emphasizes the contribution of the 22,413, 000 women in today's national work force to the future of American democracy. The Klamath Falls BPW Club, build- ' ing the year's program on the theme "Dimensions for Dem ocracy, ' is confident its members, represented by these 5 local business women, are equal to this challenge. Operator of the Schroeder,, Realty Co., Mrs.. Polly Schroeder, left, says her main interest is finding homes for people. But her interest and activities in civic affairs occupy much of her time. A primary concern is helping secure scholarships for students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to complete their education. She was last year's president of the Oregon State University Mothers Club and is on the board of directors of the Soropfimist Club and vice president of the federation of the Oregon State University. President of the Past Presidents Club, Mrs. Schroeder has also been an enthusiastic member of Klamath Falls BPW Club for many years. ' - " ; A migratory route brought Mrs. Elfriede Beeber, left, and her professional skill as a seamstress to Klamath Falls 15 years ago. Born in Hamburg, Germany, Mrs. Beeber served a year there as an apprentice seam stress and emigrated to the United States when she was 1 6. After a short stay in Fre mont, Neb., she moved on to Seattle, worked . in a dress shop nine years, married and went to Detroit for nine months, back to Seattle, then to this city where she has conducted her own successful commercial sewing service for three years. Serving as BPW's hospitality chairman, Mrs. Beeber is also a member of Daughters of the Nile and Reames Golf and Country Club. Happy to be in a business she considers fascinating enough to also be her hobby, Mrs. Suzanne Hamilton, at right, conducts Mar vin's, ladies' apparel shop. First a primary school teacher after she was graduated from Oklahoma A & M, later she and her husband managed a chain of C. R. Anthony stores in that state and had their own specialty shop. In 1950, they established Marvin's and that same year she became president df BPW, which she had joined in 1923 in Chickasha, Okla. Mrs. Hamilton is also a busy member of Soroptimist Club and the Klamath Falls Library Club. 7 1. V i r TT V t - . ' ' 1 V 4 t A? J. Q
