Woman's Viewpoint—|
Women Needed To Help Plan The Future
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Times Special Writer
“WHAT ARE WOMEN thinking these days?” is the hard question] put by a man who believes that women must think straight if the world is to be saved from financial, physical and mental bankruptcy. It would be wonderful, knew the answer. women, it must § be admitted, are § not thinking at & all. Others are occupied only with ‘‘having more fun” or (“making more money.” Y e t {there remain a great many who are trying to get their thoughts in order—trying to find sense in the vast nonsense of| war; trying to discover how good | can come out of evil. And the more the women think, the more clearly they realize that man’s concepts of progress are wrong. Somehow he must be made to see that feminine attitudes are as useful and as right as his own. It is undeniably true that our sense of values differs from that of men except where natural feminine instincts have been perverted by the pressure of competition in a man-made universe. Today we are beginning to see that slavish imitation of men will be our ruination and can easily contribute to the downfall of our nation. = ” ”
LITERALLY, the world falls about our ears. We know a new one cannot be built upon the rotten foundations of the old. So, if we want a decent society in the future, we shall be forced to take a hand in its making. That is the plainest fact before us. Certainly no woman capable of thought believes that men are ever again to be trusted alone to manage that new world. They are too much like little boys still, always building block houses for the pleasure of kicking them down afterward. Over and over and over, this has been their way; the way of those who have given power to harlots instead of decent women; and who while celebrating motherhood in song and story, created societies in which mothers are the least rewarded and the least honored of people; the way of those who talk of peace and prepare for war. Today women are thinking about all these things. So far men have failed utterly to make world fit for children to live in. It is now time for them to listen to the wisdom of wise women. And what is that wisdom? Nothing more than the wisdom of the wisest men of the past, who taught that progress is not possible unless spiritual possessions are prized above material
gains.
Mary's Day To Be Noted
The 15th annual Mary's day will be celebrated tomorrow with a low mass at 8 a. m, in the St. John church.

Federation of Catholic alumnae, with Mrs. Earl Feltman as governor, sponsors the occasion. The chairman of arrangements is Miss Bettie Wolfe, assisted by Misses Margaret Rose Foltz, Alice Lipps and Anne Brennan.
