PAGE 12 PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: January 20. 1944. i i No Sentimentality for Enemy Emotions Not Expected to Rule Women At Peace Conferences By Frances Walker THE CONSTRUCTIVE SIDE of lifcfor which women stand as the mothers of humanity should give them a place at the Peace Table, believes Miss Harriet Glendon, professor of nutrition and head of the Household Economics department of Mwjaret Morrison Car. negie College. And she feels sure that the social betterment and the protection of lhe family would be uppermost in their thinking rather than political intrigue if they were given an opportunity to take part in an international conference.

"It is not a question of women bringing- in the millennium any sooner than men Birthday Breakfast In City Club For Mrs. J. W. Marsh By Anne Ryan Lesh A BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST for Mrs. Joseph W.

Marsh on her eighty-fourth birthday, and with the guest list limited to 84, is being planned by the Womans City Club, of which she is a former president, on January 26, in the William, Penn Hotel. Among the guests at the party, which has been planned by Mrs. Albert S. F. Keister, chairman of special events in I -t C' I- A Women, Miss Glendon beiieves are as realistic as men and th wiy not be sentimental' about granting privileges to nnhtarsfc nations to get ready to cause fu-ture wars.

"An intelligent woman does not let her emotions dominate her thinking," she said. "This" has been proved by women serving or juries. "In times of emergency," continued, "the world i3 perfectly willing to give women the right to prove themselves capable of handling important work. ve hopi that this time not only a better peace will be made but a bettr opportunity will be given women to carry on work they have dene in wartimes." But Miss Glendon does not mean by this statement that she advocates women continuing to do heavy, industrial work. "Women are naturally home makers and they will be generous in giving back to the returned men the right to support the family," said.

"In fact, many women have already found work in industry to be dull and routine and they hold their jobs only to be patriotic." TAo nnnnamani of Miss Marv Elizabeth Schempp, 1 it; L-liyUyCllIGm daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward P. Schempp of Rosslyn Farms, to Charles T. Johnson, United States Army, son of Sir.

and Mrs. Benjamin M. Johnson of Ben Avon Heights, has been announced by her parents. Miss Schempp is a graduate of Fairmont Junior College in Washington, D. and Private Johnson attended Purdue University.

At present he is a member of the A. S. T. attending William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Ya. The question of sending women to a peace conference is being approved by a number of prominent Pittsburgh women, who have named representatives they would like to see helping to plan a post-war world.

In today's article, which is fifth in the series. Miss Harriet Glendon, professor of nutrition and head of the Home Economics department of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College gives her views concerning women's right to sit at a Peace Table. don, "and she knows the possibility of women's achievements. I suggest Miss Gildersleeve only as an example of the fact that there are American women to be found capable of sitting at the Peace Table. There are women all over the world who could make a real contribution at the peace conferences or any conference." An outstanding mother whom Miss Glendon would like to see serve as a delegate to a world conference is Dr.

Lillian Gilbreath, engineer, university professor and mother of 11 children. "She is a brilliant thinker, much interested in economics and the social problems of life, and she certainly wo4a have the 'mother' point of view," said Miss Glendon. Dorothy Thompson was also named by Miss Glendon as a mother capable of making "a worthwhile contribution, in spite of the fact that she is impulsive, because she is unique among women and her contact with politicians gives her a background that few women possess." Feeding the World In commenting on feeding our allies and the conquered nations, as it was done after World War Miss Glendon said Germany had no cause to complain about her treatment after the Armistice had been signed. In fact, she thinks Germany fared well indeed after the tragedy she had inflicted upon the whole world.

"They might eveny vote for war, as women throughout history have done, but as human beings they have the right to sit down with men and consider human problems in order that their point of view may be represented and they may be intelligent participants in plans concerning the whole problem of living." Because women are taking part in this war "to the limit of their abilities," Miss Glendon thinks it follows that they will be needed in the many phases of reconstruction. "Why should the settlement of the peace be taboo as far as women are concerned?" she asked.

"It is a question of humanity, not a sex question, as women compose one-half the human race. As to the selection of women representatives, that should be a matter of serious reflection and not one of personal predilection." Outstanding Women Such a woman as Virginia C. Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard College, she feels, should not be overlooked when the world is looking for direction. "Miss Gildersleeve knows women all over the world through her association with the International Federation of University Women," said Miss Glen- Founder's Day Is Marked By Two Sororities Kappa Alpha Theta will have a founder's day luncheon on Saturday in the College Club.

His solution was to heal the sick, feed the hungry and bury the dead. That is what the Burma surgeon did, and it is the lesson we get from the book. "The intelligent can't have prejudices against any denomina tion Jews, Catholics, Protestants.

The practical thing we learn is to make a deep resolution not to al low prejudices against any re ligion. We must see that in this wild and desperate world all re ligions unite. Pointing out that Dr. Seagrave "poured out his life" and asking "Is it any good?" Dr. Ewers told the story of a devout Welsh ship's captain who kept telling the story of Christ to his young Chinese cabin boy.

The cabin boy became the founder of the great Soong family, and today his daughter. Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, is "the greatest woman the world, Dr. Ewers said. "She has influence all over the world and the same note as Dr. Seagrave service to humanity." usco- 4W WW.

Jo Better butter substitutes, two good menu ideas all unrationed! How's the butter situation st your house? Now you have it, now you don't? Of course the lack of butter occasionally is no sacrifice at all. But being only human, don't you often feel the urge to, wickedly and happily, watch a great dab of butter spluttering madly on a griddle Or melting beautifully in the pure white insides of a hot baked potato? For treats like these, we turn gladly to butter substitutes (horrid word, for it suggests something inferior perhaps unpleasant.) Frankly we prefer a substitute that isn't "like butter" but makes us forget we haven't got it! And that's one thing this Orange Blossom Honey does do for us. Spread smoothly on bread or hot biscuits, poured generously on golden brown wafles and hot cakes, you really don't care whether you have butter or not! And since a 5-lb. jar is only 1.53, it's one of the neatest economies you'd come across. The full name is Evans UVS.

Outlining the book briefly, Dr Ewers told how Dr. Seagrave, the medical missionary "dropped into the Burma section almost by accident" and with only a "waste basket of old surgical instruments worked miracles." In Burma when the Japanese came Dr. Seagrave was appointed a Major in the United States Army by General Joseph Stillwell and retreated with him while caring for the sick and wounded. "Inspired by. his religion he did a conspicuous job." Whatever inspires man to share his life that way is worth study.

"In the matter of sharing," Dr. Ewers said, "the Jews prophesy, write and serve. With the Mohammedans it is good salesmanship they use even force to spread their religion, making sacrifices of energy and faith. The Christians spread their faith too in three ways. The evangelists go out and tell the story.

The second way is by education, and the third, the way In the book, is through medical missions. "No denomination has all the truth. The wise thing is to pool all the truth of the world. Confucius excels in the rules of friend- hip. Buddha, discovering the the world was filled with the sick.
