Caucus By Susan Hemp Springfield Women of college age and younger, and elderly women were in attendance Sunday for the statewide organizational meeting of the Illinois Women's Political Caucus at Sangamon State University. The diversity also extended to Ann Landers DearS.F.: I'm right. I triple-checked with three O.B.-Gyn specialists and they tell me that in 99 cases out of 100, the physician can determine whether or not a woman has had a child. If she had a Caesarean section the scar is evident. If the birth was by natural delivery the cervical opening is larger and sometimes fissured.

won a second blue ribbon for another arrangement. Golden Anniversary (fuSams It Was Dear Ann Landers: I was very much interested in the letter from the mother of the 18 year-old boy who was having an affair with the 35-year-old woman next door. The boy's mother was not only mad at the neighbor but furious with her husband. When she told him what his son was doing he replied, "It's better than fooling around with a dumb 15-year-old. The boy goes away to college soon.

He needs some experience." In my opinion the father was right on both counts. Forty-five years ago, when I was 16, I had a similar experience. A 34-year-old widow who lived downstairs in my mother's apartment house offered to help me with my homework. After my third visit she seduced me. My mother found out about it, went to the woman, thanked her and lowered her rent $10 a month.

If all mothers were as wise as mine we wouldn't have so many kids in trouble today. Why don't you spearheard a drive for better sex education via the Experienced-Older Woman -Tutor System? It would be a public service, not only for the young boys who would profit from the experience, but for the young girls who should be let alone. It would also benefit the older women who are diwrced, widowed or married to men who are incapacitated, lazy or busy. G.T.A. Dear G.T.A.

Sorry, but I'm too busy right now to spearhead anything. Furthermore, I can think of a few people offhand who might not go along on the "public service aspect" of your plan. Dear Ann Landers: You once wrote in your column, "Everybody can learn from somebody." It is with this in mind that I write to you. I have been a cleaning woman for 22 years and I have learned something that many well educated, college trained people don't know. I have discovered a 100 per cent foolproof way to tell if people have money.

Look in their broom closets. Rich people have beat-up, worn-out vacuum sweepers, so ancient that parts are no longer available. Their floor mops shed all over because they are worn to shreds. Their waxers don't work and their wiping cloths and sponges are full of holes Rich people think they are sav ing money by hanging onto crummy appliances and worn out junk. They are wrong cleaning woman can get the place twice as tidy in half the time if she has modern functional equipment.

When will those dumbbells with the six figure bank accounts and the 1931 junk wake up? Tired of Working With Relics Dear Tired: Hopefully when they read this. Are you awake out there, ladies? Check your broom closets and if you need new equipment, get it. Dear Ann Landers: In one the doctor columns in the paper I read that it is not possible for a doctor to tell on examination whether a woman has had Daoy. iseveral months ago you said just the opposite. Your an swer was given as one of the reasons a girl should not try to cover up the fact that she has had an out-of-wedlock child when she marries.

How about a little more re search? Either you are wrong or the doctor is. Who is it?

ZOTOS $10 geographic areas groups of women came from Chicago, East St. Louis, Carbondale and Springfield. There were also a few from scattered points such as Charleston, Bloomington, and Carlinville.

The caucus, coordinated by Phyllis Bere of Chicago and Verna Wittrock of Charleston, was the first meeting of the Illinois branch of the National Women's Political Caucus, organized last July in Washington. "We got the vote in 1920," Miss Wittrock, one of the speakers, said, "but there is continuous exclusion of women from positions of political power men hold all but 1 or 2 per cent of the jobs in Congress and city hall. "The Equal Rights Amendment, for which we have been fighting for 47 years, was passed by the House of Representatives, but the Senate failed to pass it, and it's still unpassed. The National Women's Political Caucus hopes to bring women Into full citizenship, participation, and power." "Two years ago a meeting of this kind would have been impossible," Miss Bere said. "Now, women have a heightened sense of worth, a growing feeling of pride when women are motivated and united, their efforts are fruitful.

We're ready now for this step (forming a political caucus). We want to see people in office who reflect our interests and goals." Miss Bere and Miss Wittrock were followed by workshop leaders, who discussed problems Involved in raising petitions for candidates whether Democrat, Republican or Independent grass roots organizing and public communications. One of the points made in the workshops was that "soft-sell" can be more effective than "hardsell" "we don't want to alienate the very women we're trying to reach." Under the NWPC Statement of Purpose, other goals of the organization are to: "Confront our own party structures, and, when nec essary, cross party lines or work i outside formal political parties in support of such women candidates. "Monitor the selection of delegates to the presidential nominating conventions for the purpose of challenging those delegations where the number and qualifications of the women delegates are unacceptable. "Form coalitions with other oppressed groups, and all humane groups which share the goals of fighting against racism, sexism, violence and poverty.

Activities For Women Activities for women are included in the 26th annual Midwest Conference of Building Officials which began Sunday at the Sheraton Motor Inn. Wives of delegates were invited to attend Monday morning's opening session, but then went off on their own for lunch at the Elk's Club, a tour of Illinois Bell Telephone Co. and shopping downtown Monday afternoon. Everyone went to dinner at Dante's Italian Village on Mon day evening, and then returned to the Sheraton for socializing. Myers Brothers put on a style show for the women during a luncheon at the Ambassador Motor Inn at noon today.

They also will tour the Franklin Mall. At tonight's banquet, which is followed by a dance, Walter Lewis, University of Illinois professor of architecture, will speak.

Their joint report said the in- I'UUieU UV api aj lllg Uieill Willi ethyl chloride, a commonly used local anesthetic But this took up to five minutes to produce a response in the nose and exposed the patient to possible danger of frost bite. So they developed a special indirect cooling apparatus featuring a device adapted to the shape of the big toe. The instrument employes another refrigerant chemical difluoromethane and cuts the chilling time to less than a minute. Schwartz said a New York City firm called "SCOPUS" is preparing to pro mote production of such instru ments.

He said that initially they should be available for each, but that costs might be sharply reduced if there is enough demand He stressed that use of the in struments should be limited to hospitals, clinics and individual doctors, lest self-treatment result in frost-bitten toes. The American specialists asked to appraise the Israeli report were Dr. Daniel S. Mullally, chief of the infectious diseases branch of the govern ment's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; and Dr. Robert Parrott of Chil dren's Hospital in Washington, a key figure in government-sup ported efforts to find cures for the common cold.

NOW 'EAR THIS Prominent ears needn't be all that much of a problem for the women with the shirt haircut or the tied-in-a-bow do. Play down ear size. Comb side hair into a graceful curl over the tops of the ears. Wear bulky earnnes that do not dangle. Remember the ears at makeup time.

After applying makeup base to the f.ice, dampen a cotton pad with w-tch hazel and blend the color from the face to the ears. is The idea was symbolized by two ceramic giraffes, one whispering a little rumor to the other that exploded in all directions, Mrs. Chastain explained. Two fantastic spears of fantail willow directed the movement. It was finished at the base with deffenbachia leaves and artichoke flowers and a touch of holly to denote the season.

(AP) A group of no American teachers unable to find jobs in this country have gone to Australia, where there's a shortage of teachers. Australian education authorities are so glad to get them they paid an estimated for their air fare one way and a 2-day excursion in Fiji en route, says Dr. Claire Pederson, professor of education at California State College here.

Australian high schools have an acute teacher shortage due to a new law raising compulsory school attendance from age 15 to 16. Mrs. Pederson spent the 1964-65 school year working for the Department of Education in the State of Victoria! and when friends there sent her clippings recently of the sudden teacher shortage, she got busy. She called an old friend, Dr. Law rence W.

"I contacted all of the college and university placement services and set up interviewing dates. Like a dope, I put my own home number on the flyers. "You wouldn't believe it.

We got 1,500 applicants. It was fantastic and ex citing but it was also "I learned a lot about the job picture for teachers around here. The problem seems to be nationwide. One man drove all the way from Missouri. We took him," she says.

Jobs Not Available Peter Van Leuven of Orinda said he got his teaching credentials for music last March, but has been unable to find a job and had no prospects before the Australian offer turned up. Kathleen Williams says she got her credentials from Chico State College last January "and I've been trying to get a job ever since. I applied all over California and even in the State of Washington." "There just aren't too many jobs for teachers right now anywhere in the United States," said Miss Williams. They Can Live Well Mrs. Pederson says the teachers will get a starting salary equal to about $5,000 in U.

S. money, "enough to live well on if they live like Australians." Margaret Lepore of the University of California grad uate internship program, who aided Mrs. Pederson in the project, said the teachers would be going to Australia "on resident visas not immigrant visas." I She said it would be up to the teachers themselves whether they decide to become Australian citizens: "They're signing l- or 2-year contracts, i Whether they stay after that up to them."

By Frank Carey AP Science Writer Washington Development of a cure for nose colds by chilling the big toes with a refrigerant chemical has been claimed by two researchers from Israel.

The researchers even said the technique apparently provides indefinite immunity sucn runny-nose maladies, according to preliminary findings among 100 patients treated during the past year. But some American scientists snorted at the idea. The Israelis reported the idea is this; Sudden temporary chilling of the big toes almost immediately brings about a lowering of the normal body temperature within the nose because, they said, the big toes and the nose are nervous system "reflectors" of one another in their response to external stress. And this nasal temperature-lowering along with humidity-lowering "dries up the nostrils," thereby "cur ing" the cold, they said. They indicated the concept is based partially on the ancient Chinese method of acupuncture sticking needles in one part of the body to attack an ailment elsewhere.

American Comment But two American medical specialists on the common cold, asked by a newsman to evaluate the report, said that: While the toe-chilling technique might conceivably abort or reduce the severity of a nose cold due to an allergic reaction, they seriously doubt it could have any effect against colds due to viruses. And the Americans generally pooh-poohed the suggestion that the technique could provide long-time immunity, even against allergic type colds. Dr. Menahem Ram, a physician, of the Rothschild Hospital-Technion, at Haifa, and Aladar Schwartz, an engineering researcher at the Israel Institute of Technology, told about the new work in a report prepared for a joing meeting of the Society for Cryobiology and the International Conference of Refrigeration.
