(for Jennie) Maddex, ot the California fFedera- tlon of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, and a certified public accountant operating an Ih- depondent office in'this city. tall, attractive brunette, Miss Maddex rose top place In the state's BPWC world dn eight years and wheh she received her CPA license in the State, of Washington only 12 years ago, she was described in a million." 1942 there was only. alMut one woman certified public accountant-to every million persons In the United States. She was the sixth woman winning a CPA license In the State ot Washington, and now holds licenses in both Washington and California, which In 1944. had only eight women CPA's.

With opportunities opened up by the war years, the disparity is not now so great, but a woman CPA Is still one of tiie rarest of persons In these United Miss Maddex Is the first Ukiah resident to become president ot the California BPWC, alfjiough a Redwood Empire District president Lorraine ot held the top post In J947-48 and tor the last three years lias been national executive director ot BPWC with offices In New Jfbrk City. She returns this year to' her former post of dean ot girls 'at Analy high school in Sebastopol. Steps that led Helen Jennie Maddex to her present, heights in profession and club lite began in Spokane county, Washington, where she was born and, began school. She was the youngest child and shortly after the family moved to Tacoma, while she was still a youngster, her mother died. When she was graduated from Tacoma high school at the ago of 16 she had made up her jnlnd to be a CPA but several years passed before she could undertake the training necessary.

In the, meantime she did secretarial work In Seattle, then in the early 30's spent months in San Francisco. Back in Seattle, In 1937, she began attending night school classes and in 1942 obtained her CPA license In Wahlngton. Believing that greater opportunity was offered woman in San Francisco than in Seattle, she moved to the bay city. In January, 1943, she became a member ot the staff of Price, Waterhouse Company, one ot the three largest accounting firms in the It iwas her first Job with a CPA fb-m, and during the war she became the first woman senior on any CPA staff, a senior being an accountant with supervisorial responsibilities. To obtain a CPA In California, three years.

experience are required even it the state exams are passed, and to the war, it had been almbst impossible for a woman to obtain employment In a CPA office to get the experience. Hence the limited number ot women CPA's. In 1946 Miss Maddex was granted her California CPA license. She is now a member of the American Institute ot Accountants 'and both the California and Washington Sdl clety of Certified Public Accountants. oVganlxatlon of is.OOO women, practices In profession in which few women have been able to establish themselves.

Early In 1950 Miss Maddex left Price, Waterhouse and worked in private accounting for a year and a halt, in northwestern California, some of her work bringing her to Ukiah. In 1951 MlSs Maddex worked with the firm of Lester, Horrlck Her- rlck, a CPA firm with offices in Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. She was in the Eureka office and remained with the firm until last October, when she decided to go on her own and opened her office In the Poulos Building in Ukiah. She said she could see that Ukiah and Mendocino county are growing rapidly and she believes the future possibilities are tremendous In-this area. she remarked, "I liked it hero and I liked thcj.

people." Launched on her professional career, but deeply aware ot the difficulties women face in entering such fields. Miss Maddex in 1946 became interested In BPWC work because ot its legislative platform, which at that time featured a drive to amend the California eight-hour law covering employed women. The law, as then on the Barred many women from executive jobs, since In such repositions they could not complete with men executives, not strlcted by hours whon necessity arose. Only women exempt from the law were those licensed to practice In certain professions. Miss Maddex herself was not' affected, since she was a CPA, but women In banks, stores and many other businesses were so restricted.

Including women In accounting, which has peak seasons from January to April that calls for longer hours. She pointed out that most business operations have such peak periods at one time or another. The legislative committee of the California BPWC went to Sacramento in 1947 with a bill amending the law for women. Miss Maddex, then a member of the Pacific BPW club In San Francisco, participated in presenting the case to the legislators. The BPWC succeeded in obtaining an amendment to the measure, exempting from its provisions women in executive or administrative positions whose salary was $350 or more per month.

The same year Miss Maddex was appointed chairjnah ot a state BPW- cprtmltte6i'to study-the need for an' -w6men law and next year she was made state chairman of PPWC. In 1949 Miss Maddex headed the BPW delegation thdt lobbied for passage of a law giving equal pay with men'for equal duties and responsibilities. Opposition to.the proposed measure, was great but the group finally obtained passage ot a bill, Vlt was a far cry from what wanted," Miss Maddex said. But With a law once on the books, Miss Maddex said, amendments to improve measure are often less difficult to obtain from a legislature than the initial law, Now, as president of California's BPWC, Miss Maddex and staff win press for Just such amendments, and arc even now formulating their strategy, to be ready for the convening ot the state legislature next January. The ambitious BPW program, legislatively speaking, for 1955 calls tor revision of state laws to equalize the legal rights of men and women, Including revisions ot the eight hour law and the equal pay law.

Other major projects on the 195455 agenda ot California BPWC, Miss Maddex said, are Improvement ot Job opportunities for the mature woman of 35 and over, and the club's aids-to-small-buslness. "It present economic trends continue," Miss Maddex said, "by 1975 every woman, except those with wealth, will work outside the home from the time she leaves school until retirement age, with time out for childbirth." Therefore, she contends, the need tor general acceptance ot the mature woman in tiie business and Industrial world Is increasingly' important. To expedite the aids to small business project the state club federation is planning operations In 11 strategic spots In Cal itornla, with the first to operate in San Fernando Valley. Miss Maddex and other in BPWC have conferred with the Governor's office and with state department ot education in selecting places for their pilot plants, which will take the form of clinics or study groups, to delve into.factors which apply' to all small as record keeping, certain legal health, laws, licenses, etc. banking, advertising, marketing, packaging' and' m'er- chandlsing.

It will be a busy year for Miss Maddex, who took over the presidency of BPWC a couple of months ago. Last 'weekend, for instance, she spent in San Francisco, conferring with her state legislative chairman, RUth Church Gupta, San Francisco attorney, and Gladys Anne Sheerin of Visalia, first state vice-president. They discussed plans tor a BPWC legislative conference to be held In San Francisco on August 21, with representatives of the 11 BPW districts in the state attending. Miss Maddex, ot course, will preside at the conclave, and it will be the forerunner of many another session, which, before next June rolls around, will' take lior to many parts of the state. thls -oft ornament.

Not entirely, of course, btit state officials believe mechanical dictation devices will Increase In use every day because of a dire, shortage of women trained in shorthand and typing.

State jobs are open for steno- but great difficulty is experienced in keeping these posts filled. According to John L. McLaughlin, who has charge of state personnel board Vecruitment at Sacramento, it seems fewer students are studying shorthand to become sten- graphers, although they take the subject as an aid In their school work. McLaughlin said that, as a result of this situation, the personnel is proposing an Increased use of mechanical dictation equipment in state departments, and a more efficient use of the work ot available stenographers. He holds a stenographer should be assigned to work for more than one person in an office.

One otthe reasons assigned for the steno shortage was the ease with which women obtained office Jobs during World War tlie Korean conflict without any special training. Many girls' went to work immediately after completing high school who otherwise might have prepared for stenographic positions. Contrasting with the shortage of stenographers -and typists. Is the plentiful supply of clerks, a civil service classification which not long ago required continuous examinations to keep the Jobs filled. Recently the turnover has come almost to a halt and adequate eligibility lists are being maintained.

In addition the stenographer and typist shortage, the state is in immediate need of qualified persons in many professional and technical doctors, x-ray therapists, etc. Son Welcomed by, Andres de Grossis Mllo Allessandro is the name chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Andres de Grassi ot Redwood Valley for their son, their first child, born Tuesday, August 3, at Ukiah General Hospital.
