Men, Women 'Times Are Changing' Hospitals today Three More Seek Council, USD Offices at Holcomb The names of three more candidates have been added to the list of those who have filed for office in Holcomb. Betty (Mrs. Wallace) Bohling, 37, filed Tuesday for a position on the Holcomb city council. Mrs. Bohling has lived in Holcomb seven years, moving there with her family.

Her husband is a rancherfarmer. The Bohlings are the parents of three daughters, Cathy, 18, a resident of Pratt; Linda, 17, a senior, and Gloria, 16, a junior. Both attended Holcomb High School. The candidate is a native of Meade and attended Meade grade and high schools. She is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

In response to a question about her decision to run for office, Mrs. Bohling indicated that a number of women had talked of filing for council, but that she seems to be the only one who actually has filed. "With Holcomb growing the way that it is, I feel there should be more people interested in what is going on, and I'm one of them. If I'm elected, l'il do the best I can to help meet the problems facing our growing community." states for ratification. Despite the 14lh amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, inequalities have continued to exist in opportunities for men and women.

"Up until very recently, the Supreme Court has not upheld the 14th amendment to sex as vigorously as it has to race," attorney Hope said. He cited examples of inequalities in laws, in educational opportunities, in job opportunities, and in pay. Although the basis for equal rights may be found in the 14th amendment and in the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the equal rights amendment supporters believe that it is needed as a Versa Runkle, 35, Rt. 1 Holcomb, filed Tuesday morning for position seven on the board of education for USD 363.

Runkle and her husband, Dan, have two children, 15-year-old Shawn, and 9-year-old Kevin. When asked why she is symbol of a cause and feel that it is of great moral and persuasive value, Hope said. He emphasized that equality does not mean sameness, and that the amendment did allow for some right of privacy based on sex. Most objections that have been raised to the amendment concern family law and the fear of women being drafted into the armed forces. "It's my experience that the armed forces have been violating civil rights of people for years, and I'm sure they would find ways to continue to do so even if the amendment passes," said Hope.

Versa Runkle seeking office, Mrs. Runkle said: "I feel that Holcomb is a very good place to live and feel that the school facilities are excellent. But I also feel that anything that is good can be improved, and that is what the school board is for.

That was the message that local humanists Clifford and Dolores Hope presented to more than 100 persons gathered last night at the Garden City Community College library lounge. This was the third in a series of presentations on the "Changing Social Role of Women" sponsored by the Garden City Committee for the Humanities.

(AP)-Farmers are being urged to cut their crop acreage 10 per cent unless the federal government assures them of reasonable price supports for 1975 crops before spring planting starts.

"The levels at which market prices for major farm products would be supported at harvest time next fall, under the program announced by Agriculture Secretary (Earl) Butz, are the lowest in purchasing power since the lowest depths of. the depression of the 1930s," Dale Lyon, president of the Kansas Farmers Union, said today in a statement. Lyon said the support program provides about 30 per cent of parity for wheat, 35 per cent for corn: "and nothing at all for soy beans." "The Farmers Union favors an effective food and agricultural policy to assure parity to farmers and abundance for consumers," Lyon said. "But unless the federal government recognizes and fulfills its essential role, farmers must take whatever action they can to minimize the economic risk lo themselves and their families." Equal rights means equal responsibility, he said. Hope said that he feels that many women throughout the years have been thwarted, by.

discrimination, from reaching their full potentials. Although some women may not have reached their full potential, Mrs. Hope took the position that their roles have been determined by the needs of the times. "Up to this time, women have played supportive rather than leading roles," she said. "In a general sense, the women played these roles because they were the best ones for the role at that time and place.

"I do believe that a new age is upon us," she said, "and the roles are changing. "Come Utopia," she said, "men and women won't reverse roles and they won't compete for them -they will cooperate in them. They will be free to choose according to their own individual talents and preferences."

The increases result from a change by the Federal Power Commission in the permissible price ceiling for gas from new wells (since Jan. 1, 1973) in.

the Panoma-Council Grove formation. Until a recent FPC ruling Amoco had been allowed to collect and pay a price of 18.5 cents per thousand cubic feet of gas, but FPC Opinion 699 and Amoco's gas sales contract with Cities Service Gas Company now permit payment of 50 cents per thousand cubic feet, plus taxes, retroactive to June 21, 1974 on these new wells. On Jan. 1, 1975, the price of gas from these wells increased to 51 cents per thousand and will increase 1 cent per year thereafter. The FPC is still considering higher prices from older wells in the field.

The Senate also approved a resolution recognizing men missing in action in Southeast Asia and rejected a two per cent tax on the cost of Sedgwick County hotel rooms.

House committees Tuesday afternoon looked at a proposed constitutional amendment on the assessment of farmland and the Kansas open meetings law. The bingo bill, implementing the constitutional amendment passed last November at the general election, was debated by the Senate longer than any bill yet this session. The bill faced 15 separate amendments. Among the successful amendments was one to eliminate the age restriction for managers and operators of the game. Another successful amendment specifies that all bingo games must be open to the public.

Still another amendment would allow Kansans to start playing bingo May 1, if the Senate version passes the House. An expected amendment to reduce the six per cent tax on the game -three per cent sales tax and up to three per cent license fee--failed by a 24-12 vote. House speaker Duane MGill has said he wants quick action on bingo and the bill could come to the House floor next week. The Senate resolution on men missing in action is meant to coincide with a weeklong observance now underway. It states that 43 Kansans are still listed as missing.

The Sedgwick County hotelmotel tax failed 18-20. A move to reconsider the bill is expected today. The money would be used to promote tourism, but opponents say it would unfairly tax visitors to Wichita. The House Assessment and Taxation Committee heard representatives of Lawrence and Topeka apartment owners testify Tuesday that they wanted the same kind of tax break farmers would get under the proposed constitutional amendment to tax farmland on its use value rather than its resale value. The amendment was one of the governor's top recommendations in his legislative message last week.
