GENERATION RAP She should reveal pregnancy family THE XENIA DAILY GAZETTE Thursday, April 29,1976 By HELEN AND SUE BOTTEL Dear Helen and Sue: I'm 15 and pregnant. Alfred, the father, doesn't know about it. He asked me to marry him and his folks don't really care, but my parents wouldn't approve, since he's just 18 and without much of a job. We want to elope, but if Alfred finds out I'm pregnant he may change his mind. I don't want to lose him.

Should I listen to my parents and not get married? Should I tell Alfred about the baby -before or after we elope? Or should I tell my parents first before I do anything else? -C A PREGNANT Dear and Tell your parents first! Then tell Alfred he's headed for fatherhood which may influence your next decision considerably. We doubt either you or Alfred are ready for marriage. You need adult guidance before you make any more wrong moves. -HELEN AND SUE Dear Rap: The girl who wrote you about biking cross-country is not the first to think about it. A group of people in Missoula, are working on a bike route that is called "Bikecentennial." Isn't that a great way to see the U.S.

in this historical year? The group has mapped five bike trails that connect across the country and it will accept any young children! At our house, my parents get quiet and thoughtful if I get out of line. Then I know it's time to person who has a medical and a parental okay. Almost any bike club could start a similar plan, with the help of parents or straighten up. A little silent other interested adults, treatment, followed by a Hope this girl biker finds (or real et ut of your organizes) a travel club stem talk does wonders, before summer.

Don't you think this is presumptuous? They aren't even his "pre" in-laws until Dora gets the ring! THE REAL MOM AND DAD Dear Real: Presumptuous? No! I think this is accepting which is really more than I can say for you two -HELEN Dear Real: Why make a big thing out a friendly gesture? You might call it presumptuous, but I'd call your reaction -jealous! SUE seems to know it) there's a knock on the door, and you're discussing just what happened and why. You asked us how many were in favor of spankings, Helen and Sue. Some of my friends think they're good because they're soon over and easily forgotten, but I'll choose my parents' way. They aren't "getting even," they're trying to teach me about GETTING IT STRAIGHT love quick kiss between floors.

Dear Rap: I was at a friend's house today and every time the kids did something wrong -not even very much the mother would hit or threaten them. It seemed to make them so. nervous that they were constantly in trouble, which upset the mother into more yelling and hitting fits. What a madhouse! If this is where spanking leads, I will never spank my PAULINE STEINEM Trends reported Census Bureau to vote for school board members in Ohio since 1894, and after one woman tried WASHINGTON (AP) -There are more women than men in America, and the women live longer. But females have a long way to go before pulling even with males in jobs and education.

Such are the findings in one of the most comprehensive reports ever compiled on the status of American women. The report, the first of its kind by the Census Bureau, shows demographic, social and economic trends among women. It shows women comprise 51.3 per cent of the population of 213,137,000. There are 5.6 million more women than men. By 1973, women could expect to live an average of nearly eight years longer than men, compared with 3.5 years longer in 1930.

The figures show the number of women in the labor force nearly doubled between 1950 and 1974 to 35.9 million, while the number of men increased by only one- fourth to 57.3 million. But the income differences between men and women remain substantial the median earnings for women were $6,772 in 1974, compared with $11,835 for men. The report shows that among people ages 25 to 29, approximately 77 women cause or an effect. The movement was helped because lots of women had to work, and it encouraged women by publicizing the fact that the working woman was not alone." Mrs. Schneider, who works in the bureau's population division, said that she hopes the women's movement will work to improve salaries for women had'coinpleted at least four and dav care years of college for every The rt shows that one 100 men in 1975, compared with 66 women for every 100 men in 1950.

"Of course, the women's movement has had an impact," said Paula J. Schneider, who headed a group of census staffers to plan and coordinate the report. "But it's hard to say men in 1950, the material shows. At the same time, the report shows that in both 1970 and 1974, the median income of women college graduates age 25 and older who worked full-time was only 60 per cent of comparable male median incomes. The authors write that women college graduates had incomes that were, on the average, lower than men who had only a high school education.

of the strongest indications of the changing social and economic role of women in the last two decades has been their entry into the labor force. if the movement was a By 1974, there were 63 women for every 100 men in the labor force, compared with 41 women for every 100 David Potts' bride is Donna Sue Matney Miss Donna Sue Matney became the bride of David Gregory Potts in a late afternoon wedding April 6 at Dayton Avenue Baptist Church with the Rev.

Anderson chronicled the life of Mrs. Steinem, who was born in Poland in 1863 and moved here in 1887 with her i a a Joseph. Mrs.

Steinem's efforts on behalf of the Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Society quickly led to a wider circle of women's groups, and she served as first president of the Toledo Council of Jewish Women and later as president of the Toledo Federation of Women's Clubs. In the early 1900s she formulated one of her assessments of the proper Parents of the bride are Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Haney, Marysville.

The bridegroom is the son of Judge and Mrs. Charles Becker, Daly City. The Rev. Don Bachman of Trinity a Marysville, performed the ceremony. The new Mrs.

Immediately following the unsuccessfully to win a seat on the board, the ladies of Toledo turned to Pauline Steinem.

Chased from a Labor Day picnic by police, Steinem supporters quietly circulated their petitions at homes and turned in scores of more signatures than needed to nominate. The ladies campaigned at countless "pink teas" and rallies attended by ministers or other civic figures, while Mrs. Steinem pressed her theme that "growth of character must be the purpose of all education." When the votes were counted, Mrs. Steinem had won almost every precinct. She gathered 16,018 votes to her nearest opponent's 15,150.

When the new school board was organized, Mrs. Steinem became chairwoman of the education committee. She introduced a measure which strictly limited corporal punishment, and her committee recommended a vocational bureau and a department of medical inspection be established in the Toledo school system. Never a radical, Mrs. Steinem told a suffrage association meeting in 1910, "We want the man to be head of the house." She was interrupted from the floor by a woman who responded, "You have no right to say that if you are speaking for this association." From 1913 to 1921, Mrs.

Steinem served as a member of the state board of charities and then withdrew from public Me. She died in 1940, when Gloria was 5 years old.
