Reading Expert To Speak Women's Lib Creates Problems Women's lib is affecting children in three principal areas, Norman Pfile, director of Residential Treatment at the Children's Home of Rockford, told members of Junior Women's Guild Wednesday afternoon.

First, he noted, there are now five million preschool children not in their homes but in day care centers during the day due to working mothers. Secondly, there is more child neglect, and thirdly, though there are more unwed mothers, there are fewer children for adoption. Mr. Pfile's subject for the afternoon was "The Changing Role of Women and Effects on Child Welfare." Of the five million children in day care centers, 4 million of them are in unlicensed centers. This, he feels, brings in new problems.

Some children do not receive proper care. He told his Junior Women's Guild audience that he now feels this is a service that should be provided by industry. The changing role of women too is noted in the child neglect area. There are children without proper shelter, clothing, religious training, food and medical care. He cited five examples of neglected children.

The parents or women involved in these cases were described as dull, immature, depressed, retarded and psychotic people. Now that there is no stigma attached to an unwed mother with children, there are more of these children kept by the mother. Therefore, there are fewer children for adoption. However, the mother is often immature, which results in many cases of child neglect and -some of the aforementioned problems. A question and answer period followed.

During the business meeting, announcement was made of the Junior Women's Guild style show, which will be held Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 at the YWCA. Both will be evening showings. The theme will be "Silver Anniversary In the Round." Women's and children's styles will be by Weise-Read's and shoes by Leslie's.

Tickets may be obtained from guild members or at the YWCA. Mrs. Larry Patterson reported that the Party Foods and Beverage Cookbook of guild members is selling fast and "only a few copies remain." "The Joker's Wild" is the theme for the March 31 guild dance at Mrs. Robert Arnett reported that the Classics will play for dancing from 9 to 1 o'clock. Hot sandwiches will be served.

Hostesses for the afternoon were Mmes. William Engle, Timothy Smith, Allan Newman and Ron Richter. "Reading Literature" will be discussed by Mr. Mervin Feddcrsen for Freeport Woman's Club Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in the Masonic Temple ballroom. Mr.

Feddersen is coordinator of reading services and a teacher of reading at Highland Community College. He acts as consultant for several reading projects in the area and teaches courses in developmental reading, advanced reading skills and principles and methods of teaching reading. Since he came to HCC four years ago, the reading department has more than doubled, now helping more students to improve reading skills than any comparable college in Illinois, according to an HCC spokesman. Mr. Feddersen also operates a clinic which offers intelligence testing, diagnosis of reading difficulties, individualized instruction and courses for business and industry.

He is collaborating to produce a book on teaching of reading in high school. He did his undergraduate work in colleges in Nebraska and South Dakota, receiving his B.S. in education from Northern Teachers College, Aberdeen, S.D., and his M.A. in school administration from the University of Nebraska.
