By AGNES H. OSTROM Distaff of the business world will take a public bow this month. : National Business Women's Week will be marked next Sunday through Sept. 29. It's the 24th annual anniversary, For the gals on the receiving .end that week set aside in their honor is a significant symbol of achievement. Through day by day and week by week work in every Kind of job they've earned the right to a once-a-year accolade. Taking the lead role statewise in the celebration will be the Indiana Business and Profesgional Women's Clup. » ~ ou MISS RUTH'LEWMAN, Hoogier Club prexy, has decreed each of Indiana's 131 groups &hall observe the week in its own way. \ Most, like the Indianapolis elub, have a definite schedule drafted. As for energetic Miss Lewman she'll be in the throes of administrative dutiés. And her agenda extends far beyond Business Week. =" n o TODAY SHE'S MAKING the DePauw University Union Building, Greencastle, headquqarters while attending. the first of four state sectional meetings. Sept. 23 she will be in Muncie; Sept, 30, Bedford, and Oct. 7, Wabash. Culmination of these sectional conferences will be the Nov. 11 state council meeting in the . Claypool Hotel here. “I want to get across to more women the fact our BPW Federation is stimulating, aimed directly at women's welfare. “There has been more social impact on the home in the last 20 years than for generations before. The big current problem for many adult women is adjusting to the demands of today,” she declares.
“a » » “NO ONE CAN participate actively in the federation program without growing as an individual.” Ruth Lewman points to herself as the prize example of that - last statement. When she received a special invitation to join the local BPW club in 1936 she welcomed the chance to “get out of the academic groove” and widen her own horizon. A Shortridge High School Spanish teacher since 1922, she felt she had confined herself too much to ‘the school room. In fact she attributes her job in the area of guidance to Shortridge students in the ‘past nine years to BFW contact—her interest in getting other view- . points, learning about different occupations.

HOOSIER BPW PREXY-—Miss Ruth Lewman’s professional
job includes vocational guidance,
method is both direct and sub-
tle, So subtle in fact some of her students still wonder just when they decided that learning and living in today's world was for
them after all.
Daily through her creed of “teaching people, not subjects” Ruth Lewman helps &oung people to be emotionally mature. Then after the ‘school’s out” bell she helps adults in their job of being truly emotionally mature, Coming up through EPW ranks Miss TL.ewman became city president in 1943. In the state she's served as state chairman of the equal pay for comparable work committee, program . co-ordinator, second and first “vice presidents. She was elected president in the spring. nS : » ES 5 A HIGHLIGHT WAS FLYING to London last year with Miss Sally Butler, International president, for the International BPW Congress. At the November council meeting she’ll renew her friendship with Mrs. Esther Hyber, national's international relations director and United Nations observer, whom she met abroad.” Mrs. Hymer will be a feature speaker at that session. Indianapolis BPW's Business Women’s Week plans are headed by Miss Ruth Hoover, public affairs chairman. She and her committee have made arrangements for window displays in the downtown department stores, television and radio broadcasts.
