Local group hears review of report on United Nations forum in Kenya

*•> .*•«, ■• . , .

A report on the 1965 NonGovemmental Forum was presented in Witherspoon Presbyterian Church Dec. 31 by four women who participated in the proceedings. The intemations conference, conducted uner the auspices of the United Nations, was held last July

in Nairobi, Kenya.

It drew over 13,000 delegates, including U.N. diplomats, and over ISO organizations, to review its accomplishments in the previous 10 years, since an inaugural meeting in

1975 in Mexico City.

South Africa’s apartheid policy took a thrashing from nearly all of the committees, according to the participants. Other controversial topics included birth control, equal rights for women, health, education, community problems, school dropouts, and teenage pregnancy,

among others.

The Rev. Landrum Shields opened the Witherspoon meeting with prayer, after which Lula Neal introduced her daughter, Larmon McCampbell Buckner, supervisor of Peixoto Children’s Center of the Haywood Unified School District in

Haywood, Calif.

May 1941. She has held several positions during her 40 years of employ-

ment at L.S. Ayres.

Ms. Owens was an elevator operator for 19 years, afterwhich

she held a position in merchandise adjustment where she took complaints from customers. In addition, she worked in authorization in the credit office where she approved

charge cards.

In the latter part of 1968, Ms. Owens became a “floor walker” (a security patrolman) in the department store. Shortly afterwards, she was promoted to security guard. She said she decided to become a security guard, because in this position the salary was a plus. Ms. Owens said she enjoyed working as a security guard, despite some of the dangerous altercations she experienced while working at

L.S. Ayres.

Although she has no plans for retirement, she hopes to do some traveling. Ms. Owens is also a member of the 14 Lambs Club. “I have enjoyed working here,” Ms. Owens said. “All of the changes I have seen have been for

the better”.
