Some of the men might have been able to stand a little overhauling, but I tell you, there has never been a chirp of regret out of anyone about the female occupants." June 30, 1929. fhM.

LOUIS (AP) A motion voicing approval of the recent ordination of 11 women to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church was approved Thursday by a group of Roman Catholic nuns meeting here. A telegram saying the ordinations were "sign of hope" was approved by the 650 Catholic sisters who were attending the 4th annual convention of the National Assembly of Women Religious. The telegram was sent to Episcopalian bishops who met in special session in Chicago and moved to invalidate the ordinations of the women.

Sister Anne Patrick, a spokesman for the group and a member of the congregation of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, said she "hopes the support of Roman' Catholic women religious would hasten the time when women will be allowed full participation in both churches' ministries." The group did not advocate the ordination of women within the Roman Catholic Church, but voted 261-13 on Wednesday to support a statement which noted that no passagejcould be found in Scripture excluding women from the priesthood. Actress Patricia Barry Actress Patricia Barry will star in Tennessee Williams' drama, 'Sweet Bird of the final presentation of the season at the Okoboji Summer Theatre. The play will run from Aug. 20 to the 25th with curtain time 8:30 p.m. daily.

Fellow Commuters Wave As Ford Stops Traffic By MARY JO SCHMIDT OKOBOJI Bubbling with energy despite a week filled with traveling, interviews and rehearsals for the play 'Sweet Bird of Patricia Barry, a popular television actress will portray Princess Kosmonopolis in the final production of the Okoboji Summer Theatre Aug. 20 through Aug. 25. Having attended Stephens College herself, this is the third consecutive year she has appeared in one of their productions. Miss Barry, a native of Davenport, has appeared in more than 800 television programs and has won three Emmy nominations.

Success came first, for Miss Barry in the theatre when she won the ingenue role in two successive plays, 'Laughing Water' and Calico the latter one reaching broadway. She has guest starred on many television programs including 'Ironside' and CBS Friday Night at the Movies. MISS BARRY HAS STARRED as Addie on the NBC soap opera, 'Days of Our Lives' for the past four years. Addie was scheduled for an untimely death by the show's writers last December, but her many fans rushed to her rescue and prolonged her life until this spring when Addie was killed by a truck, running a red light. As Addie, Miss Barry was one of the most popular personalities on daytime television.

In talking about the 'Days of Our Lives' series, Miss Barry said, "I miss the cast very much, they had become sort of like a second family to me. Doing a soap opera is quite different from doing a play or a television series since the most you work together in a series is 26 weeks, but a soap opera goes on and on." Although many of her fans were upset by the elimination of Addie, Miss Barry said it was necessary for the progression of the show. She said fans get addicted to soap operas because they are continuous like real life and thus they identify with the characters. IT SEEMS NATURAL for housewives to become addicted to soap operas, but other persons also find them interesting. Miss Barry said she met some members of the Ohio State football team once, and found out practically the whole team was addicted to soap operas to the extent they had a television in their lockerroom for the purpose of watching the shows.

They had become hooked on them while confined in hospitals for various injuries. As an actress, Miss Barry has her own reasons for liking soap operas. She said, "Soap operas are the closest thing to the theatre. It is only in the theatre and in The 627 oil wells in Saudi Arabia pump an average of 11,830 barrels a day each, National Geographic says. The United States has 503,500 wells, but they average only 18 barrels a day each.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford stops traffic twice daily over an eight-mile route, but fellow commuters just smile and wave him on. A commuter president is something Washington hasn't had in a while, and won't have very long. The Fords are planning to move into the White House on Monday and the President will be able to walk home from the Oval Office. Reporters and cameramen will be able to get a little more sleep and police and Secret Service escorts can relax. FORD'S COMMUTING has created a new style for a new president.

It is reminiscent, in a way, of Harry S. Truman's early morning walks. The daily appearances give people a chance to see him, and reporters a chance for informal chats. Ford is an early morning before 7:30 a.m. He is back by 8 p.m.

People can count on it. It has made him one of the folks in a wayr-eyen if his chauffeur-driven, travel is luxurious. He comes home for dinner with a newspaper tucked under his arm, carrying his commuter -size brown attache case, always pausing to wave and "HI, PRESIDENT Ford," neighbor youngsters call out to hijm. One night he looked tired after a 12-hour day at the office. "It's been a long day," the President conceded to reporters with a tired smile.

Firemen Remove Charred Furniture KsthtMvillc firemen carry out a charred chest of drawers from the home of Marie Clabaugh, 1503 Fifth Ave. North.

Franklin Richards of Spirit Lake, suffered second degree burns on the back of his leg and hands. He is at Holy Family Hospital in good condition, according to the attending physician. television that is filmed before live audiences that the actor has control over his performance. She said, "On film the director controls the actor's performance entirely, you can be stopped all the way along the line, if you're not doing exactly as the director wants." Miss Barry also finds the roles in soap operas more appealing for women than other types of television roles. "The women in soaps are much stronger than in series and they are more career oriented," she said.

AS A CHARTER MEMBER of Women in Film, Miss Barry supports equal opportunity for women in the film industry. She stressed that this isn't just for actresses but for women in all aspects of the film industry. The organization attempts to help women to succeed in their fields. She said they do things like trying to help a woman Who has a script she would like produced to contact the right people. To be a member of Women in Film, women must be sponsored by two persons in the industry and have certain credits and qualifications to insure the organization that the women they support aren't using their sex to make up for a lack of talent or ability.

Right now men's roles outnumber women's roles 80 to one according to Miss Barry, but an organization, like Women in Film, may be able to influence this trend by helping more women to succeed in their goals. TWO MEMBERS OF MISS Barry's family, her husband, Philip, and daughter, Miranda, are also involved in the film industry. Barry is presently vice president in charge of creative affairs for Tomorrow Entertainment, Inc. a subsidiary of General Electric. He won an Emmy Award this year for 'The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman' for CBS.

Miranda is head of the drama and English departments at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, and would eventually like to write and direct plays. A second daughter, Stephanie, will be a senior in high school this fall and is interested in occupational therapy as a profession. FOR MISS BARRY, there will be more feature length films for television and next year she would like to bring out a new play from New York to be shown before the Okoboji audience. So although Addie no longer lives, Patricia Barry is very much alive and acting and will be seen on television next fall as well as on the Okoboji Summer Theatre stage next week.

FDA Wrongdoing WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration frequently suppresses unfavorable reports on new drugs and disciplines those who draft them, a group of FDA staff doctors has told a Senate panel. Eleven medical professionals testified, citing numerous instances in which they said their adverse reports on drugs were overturned by FDA officials. Some said that after making such reports, they were taken off the case and the drug assigned to another doctor, who subsequently recommended its approval.

Greek Withdrawal BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Greece's military withdrawal from the North Atlantic alliance probably was an attempt to pressure the United States and its allies to tilt against the Turks on Cyprus, some officials at NATO headquarters say. Privately some NATO officials described the withdrawal as a diplomatic maneuver with few practical consequences. The Greeks are remaining in the North Atlantic Council, the political part of the alliance, and are still carrying out their assigned NATO mission: The protection of Greece. U.S. bases in Greece apparently will not be affected since they are leased under bilateral Greek- American agreements.

Not Impeachable WASHINGTON (AP) While asserting that former President Richard M. Nixon was not hounded out of office, a draft report by 10 House judiciary Committee Republicans says he wasn't impeachable on most charges either. The draft report contends the only "direct and persuasive" impeachment evidence the committee ever received was Nixon's own statement last week that he approved an initial Watergate cover-up effort and then concealed that fact. DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The hungry world paid $1.5 billion for Iowa, farm goods last year, but farmers must work hard to boost their share of the world market, the state Department, of Agriculture urges. In a new booklet on exports, the state agency says that $1.5 billion sparked $2.4 billion in increased business "14 percent of our Gross State Product." But the publication notes that economists predict that "the supply of feed, food and fiber will be ample to meet the world's needs in the years ahead." Now Iowa's agriculture establishment "must apply its skills and talents to marketing as well as production," the booklet said.

THE PUBLICATION estimates that world population is growing at such a rate that, "Each day a city the size of Des Moines population 209,000 is being born." Officials said that while world population is expanding 2 percent annually, real income is rising at 3 to 4 percent. "And people are spending their new wealth on improved diets beef, pork and poultry instead of rice and cereals." The reason Iowa farmers must export, the booklet explains, is that they have become increasingly dependent on international markets. "Farm profit margins have been steadily narrowing as production costs have risen faster than commodity prices," the publication said. "To beat this cost-price squeeze, farmers have had to become more efficient and boost production far beyond what Americans can consume." BUT A KEY TO keeping the profits rolling in, says the booklet, and to "make the state a first stop on international food buying tours, producers and processors must earn the reputation as dependable suppliers of quality food year after year." That will take "continued public and government support." The booktet'reported that last year the state sxBprted an estimated $664 million in" soybeans, $664 million of corn, $56 million in cattle and beef products and $24 million worth of hogs and pork products. Major foreign customers were Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, France, West Germany, Italy, the Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, Canada and Mexico.
