The General Federaiton of Women's Clubs, which includes state, district, county, city and town organizations sponsors constructive action and thinking. The Federation is philanthropic in giving scholarships such as Indian Affairs, Pan American and loans. The Iowa Federation was one of the sponsors for Camp Sunnyside near Des Moines. Two Federated Clubs of Ames, the Twentieth Century Club and the Ames Woman's Club have just completed a federated project which reaches cut in scope throughout the state of Iowa.

Towels and table cloths, which are hemmed by the blind women of Iowa, are sold by the clubs each year as a service project. This hemming program has lifted the burden of long idle hours, for about 70 homebound blind wom Am oiiv Tribune 9 Feb. 6, 1965 en. They are now busy with needles and thread many hours a week, because through the sale of these towels, they have been given the joy and dignity of purposeful activity. "Something useful to do" has encouraged them.

This project began in 1928 29 and since that time over 1,500,000 towels have been sold 'throughout the state by Federated clubs, under the direction of the Iowa Commission for the Blind, which makes the contacts, and the cooperation of the Clubs, which assist with the sale of towels.

Ames Woman's Club (Federated) While Ames residents are justifiably proud of the numher of high school graduates here who plan to continue their education, it should be recognized that an increasing number of all Iowa high school grads now are continuing beyond high school. In for the first lime, more than half of all high school graduate in the stale entered a four year college, junior college, business college, trade or technical school or apprenticeship. According to information reported to the State Department of Public Instruction, on 1DB4 Iowa public high school graduates, or 57 per cent of the 3.1, 044 high school graduates are continuing their education in some way.

Four year colleges account for 10,934 or 33 per cent of the graduates, while another 3, 370 or 10.22 per cent are enrolled in junior colleges. In addilion, 3,3.13 (10 per cent) entered business colleges, trade schools, or technical schools. Apprenticeship training, nurses' training, and other types of schooling account for the remaining 1,100 or 3.5 per cent of all high school graduates who are continuing their formal education. There are 10,973 or 33 per cent of all graduates attending four year colleges or community or junior colleges in Iowa, while 3,340 (10 per cent) are going outside Iowa for such educa There has been an increase in the per cent of high school graduates continuing their education in each year since the statewide graduate follow up study was first made in 1059. In that year 43.7 per cent of those graduating from high school continued their education.

Iowa's young people are making an effort to become better equipped to work in Iowa and to earn their living here. A real effort has been made to provide them with the facilities to do this. The question is, what sort of work will hey find in Iowa? V'l Writ Chile Frei eager for March 7 election In Des Moines Legislative greenhorns learn By United Press International The host of freshmen lawmakers in this session are gradually catching on to the way things are done in the Iowa Legislature, but sometimes their political inexperience is evident. Take, for instance, the time that Sen. Vincent Burke, Sioux City, a former truck driver, related on the Senate floor that he was asked last summer to make some illegal hauls while driving a truck in the east.

Vincent, who said he refused the offers, related his experiences in supporting a bill to crack down on "gypsy" truckers who operate in violation of Interstate Commerce Commis itlcd around last much of the blame collectors.

Mr. Speaker, something has been brought to my attention concerning the gentlemen from Franklin which I think deserves the attention of every member of this House." Edgington swallowed bard, his face paled and his 4 shifted. "Mr. Speaker, I believe this should no longer go unnoticed," Maule continued as the floor of the House and the galleries grew silent. "Mr.

Speaker, I'd like to join with all the members of this House in wishing Mr. Edgington a very happy birthday." It took Edgington a good 15 seconds to muster up a smile. Rep. Stanley Heaberlin, Pleasantville, was considered quite perceptive for a freshman lawmaker when he came forth with a pertinent statement during a committee discussion on. a corrective bill.

"One thing I've learned real quick," Hearberlin said. "Each session we spend about hall our time correcting the mistakes of the last session." Rep. Lee Gaudineer, Des Moines, considered one of the more promising young frfesh men in the I9G5 session, was a bit embarrased during a committee meeting this week. "Mr. Chairman, I remember seeing another bill which fits this situation a lot better, but I can't remember the number of the bill or its sponsor," Gaudineer said.

When another committee member looked up the bill and read it, Gaudineer said, "Yes, that's the one. Who's the snon sor?" Replied the other member, "It is sponsored by Rep. Lee H. Gaudineer of Polk County." Sen. Jack Schroeder, Bet tendorf, almost broke down laughing when he realized what he said during debate on a bill to allow day parole of county jail inmates to work at their jobs.

"When a man is in jail for beating his wife or some other minor didn't mean it that way," Schroeder said. A senator looked questioning ly at his notes being taken by a United Press International reporter, wondering just what was going on. Each reporter usually employes his own style of shorthand or speedwriting. This one uses a simple as an abbreviation for committee, and uses short forms for other words. For instance, the Senate Judiciary Committee is shortened to S.TX and the House Governmental Affairs Committee is HGAX.

No wonder the senator looked puzzled when the reporter wrote his short form of Senate Education Committee. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Chile elects a new congress on March 7 and for President Eduardo Frei the day cannot come too soon. Frei won his own election by the greatest landslide in Chilean history, and on Nov. 3 took office with a ready made program of "revolution in liberty." But a lame duck congress which doodled while Frei fumed has taken the steam out of the early excitement and refused even to consider bills labeled by the government as "extremely urgent." Hamstringing the government is the fact that Frei's Christian Democratic party controls only 33 of the 192 congressional seats a situation which the persuasive Frei hopes to reverse in March. Legislation which Frei seeks and which congress so far has failed to pass, strikes directly at what have become traditional Chilean injustices.

Must Import Food One is a land tenure system which keeps much of the population in poverty and which is so inefficient that Chile must import half her food. Another is an inequitable tax system which simply increases the gulf between the rich and the poor. And a third which has contributed heavily to Chile's strong Communist party is low pay for brutally long hours, especially in rural areas. As a starter, Frei made three key proposals. One would be a capital property tax to raise $100 million a year over the next five years to finance education and housing projects.

This bill came under attack from both the political center and conservative rkht. The government estimated that only 15 per cent of the people would be affected by the Sought Special Powers A second proposal dealt with slum clearance, and a third with special powers to help the president govern. The latter came under special attack because it would give the president the power to take his pro posals to a plebiscite if they failed to win approval of congress. It was a weapon congress did not want to give Frei who has been taking more and more to the air waves to defend his "government for the humble." Also awaiting congressional approval is a plan already worked out with U.S. owned copper companies for greater Chilean participation in its greatest money producing industry.

This would give Chile a controlling 51 per cent in the Bra den Copper a Kennecott subsidiary, for $80 million: 49 per cent in a mixed exploration company with Anaconda; 33 per cent of any new Anaconda mine and 25 per cent in various other projects.

Burke revealed his legislative "greenhorn" status when he expressed surprise that news reporters descended upon him to gel further details of his experience.

As a young sprout, taking my first trip to Japan and China, it had been necessary to go up from Long Beach, to Los Angeles, for a passport. The picture submitted wasn't the right size, the passport people said.

They sent me across the street to a small ouickie passport picture shop. If recollection serves right, it was a walk up. The dingy office was empty. But while waiting, voices came clearly through the open door of the next room. One voice said, "Why don't you get a diplomatic passport and save all this bother? You could, you know.

It would save you waiting in lines. You and your baggage would breeze by customs." There was a long pause, with the soft sound of feet sort of shuffling on the floor. Then came the other voice, and it is as clear now as though it were yesterday. "Shucks, I wouldn't want to do that." Then there was silence. The voice seemed familiar from radio or somewhere.
