Main Women, individually or collec tively, rarely admit to being more than 39 years old. Klamath Falls Business and Professional Wom en's Club not only admits its 39 years it's proud to be almost 40. Ida Momyer Odell calls that quite a swatch of time off the yardage of eternity." Mrs. Odell says she actually came to live in Klamath Palls in 1895 and as the beloved Historian tens about the early days of the town, it becomes again a vigorous fron tier community bursting beyond its nucleus around Link River. She has seen the beginning of many things and her blue eyes reflect the merriment she recalls as one of the organizers of the first business women's groups here. She relates that in 1924 the Women's Library Club, a strong public influence then, as it still is, undertook the formation of a branch for business and profes sional women. Mrs. Odell, a member of Mom yer and Momyer Real Estate and Insurance: Coral Sabo of the First National Bank; Gertrude Moore, employed by the First Trust and Savings Bank; Frances Racknor. with Houston and Phelps, the town's largest grocery store; and Lena Dennis, city treas urer, could well claim to be busi ness women, so they became the five original members. Mrs. Lyle Kimball, teacher and library club member, was the managing force and mothered the new club through its infancy. Later she was to be awarded lifetime member ship in BPW. The business women began lo meet in the basement of the old library building located where the present courthouse stands. An other meeting place was the Blue Bird, a cafe and candy store which Mrs. Odell calls "an institution in those days." Mrs. Racknor became the first president because, she claims, no one else would accept the job and she sought to be agreeable. Soon the infant outgrew its cradle and moved away from the old home in the library to the famed White Pelican Hotel, cen ter of the town's social life, and managed at that time by a new member, Mrs. . Hope Kilbourn. There, often seated on the floor in front of the crackling fireplace in the "little parlor" that jutted toward Esplanade Avenue they visited, sang and exchanged ex periences. Mrs. Odell remembers very little serious purpose then, only that they all "loved it." She delights in the memory of an ad venturesome trip over the Green- springs one Sunday for a picnic in Lithia Park. But there was soon to be a change. With a membership of 15. they began to feel they were grow ing up and should take on some responsibility. Mrs. Racknor v as elected to a second term as preM dent. They applied for and re ceived a chapter from the Na tional Federation of Business and Professional Women, in its child hood, too, having been founded in 1919 with its basic purpose ex pressed as "A Better Business Woman for a Better Business World." Klamath Falls BPW has grown toward maturity with the federa tion with the common aim to pro mote the interests of business and professional women. With its na tional strength it has supported and brought about many import ant legislative measures directly benefiting the working woman. Nationally the local club helps support the Chinese Nursing Home in Formosa. An important state project is the continuing scholar ship for an Oriental woman stu dent. Among other local projects, it provides an annual scholarship for a promising Klamath County high school senior girl. And it in volves itself with lively sincerity in all community interests, hop ing to weave durable threads into the present swatch ot time. During this National Business Women's Week, an adult Klamath Falls BPW with a membership of nearly 100, faces up to the federa tion challenge "Responsibil ity of Full Partnership. For con fidence to meet the challenge it pays tribute to its parent club, the five organizers, and its charter members for their construction of a solid foundation and continued inspiration without which the club's present stature would be impossible. OAES Meet The Oregon Association of Edu cational Secretaries first meeting for the 1963 - 64 school year will be Oct. 12 at the Ashland Junior High School in Ashland Sandra Mitchell is chairman.
