Women Equal... to What?
By BETTY CANARY

Lulled by the charming little articles
usually headlined, “Grandma Gets Off Her
Rocker,” I have thought older women had
no trouble getting jobs these days.
As one older friend said to me, “If you be
lieve that, then you, my dear, are off your
rocker.”
A quick run-through of the classified ads
helped set me straight. “Age 18-35,” they
said.
“But what about the college courses espe
cially designed to help older women get back
into the job market?” I asked.
“It looks great on paper,” she said. “But
it neglects the personnel manager’s attitude
and worry when it comes to retirement pro
grams and insurance policies.”
“But I have read at least a dozen articles
saying that if a woman brushed up on her
skills, she’d have no trouble getting back into
her field,” I said.
“Looks great on paper,” she said. “But it
doesn’t reflect the bland look on the face of
the man behind the desk.” 1
I
“But what about the fact that older women <
are more conscientious and don’t take time
off for hair appointments and dates? And,
they have fewer problems at home—no sick ]
children, for example.”

“You tell ’em,” she said.
“Perhaps it is your attitude,” I suggested,
thinking she would never get a job with such
a noticeable chip on her shoulder.
“Now, I have a job,” she said. “I have
done a man’s job at woman’s pay for years—
in case you are wondering about that chip
on my shoulder.”
“My goodness,” I said. “Do you mean to
tell me that women aren’t on the same pay
scale as men? I mean, if they do the same
work and everything?”
“Say, I thought you were only naive,” she
said. “But maybe you really ARE off your
rocker!”
“Well,” I said, “at least the government
says we are equal. You take Social Security,
for example!”
“You take it,” she said. “And when the
time comes you will find your share not equal
with a man’s.”
“But women are equal!” I insisted. They
fought for the vote and got it. They can serve
in Congress and supposedly they control the
wealth of the nation and these are the days
of nondiscrimination and these are the days
of equal opportunities and ...” I couldn’t
continue because she was laughing so hard
she couldn’t hear me. But, I know she’d
agree with me that it really looks great on
paper.

Memory Book
*<'s/
DEAR POLLY — When tod
dlers receive greeting cards, es
pecially on a first birthday, they
delight in looking at the color
ful pictures and feeling any fuz
zy parts but the cards are qui
ckly tom by these little hands. I
solved this by mounting each
card on a square of sturdy
white cardboard with the mes
sage part pasted on the back
and the picture on the front. Ro
und the comers to avoid injuries,
punch a hole in each card and
place them on a discarded loose
leaf notebook ring. Baby has his
own special book of colorful pic
tures and little poems on the
back for mommy to read to him
They can be saved in relatively
good condition for the child’s
memory book. Our
daughter has had many hours of
pleasure from her “book” of fir
st birthday cards. — D.B.S.
DEAR POLLY — Our folding
vinyl doors were originally whi
te but have become yellowed and
ugly looking. I wonder if one of
your readers would know of
some way to clean these doors
or something that could be put
on them to restore the white
ness. — ANGELA

DEAR POLLY — I found,,
quite by accident, that using
floor wax on the tires of my
wheel chair eliminated most of
the problem of carrying dust
from room to room. Os course, I
cannot guarantee this but It has
worked for me over a period of
years. — PHEBE
DEAR POLLY — My coffee
table had a recessed top cover
ed with glass which was bro
ken during cleaning. Rather than
replacing it with more of the
same, I bought ceramic tile that
has designs on it and a cloth
backing. These squares were ap
plied, with adhesive, to the re
cess in the table top. My table
was so beautiful when finished
that I did the same thing to a
matching end table and a cor
ner table. It is such a nice feel
ing to have something you
have made yourself and to know
it is an original — EUGENIA

How do you measure up
against experienced
A
QUIZ A: In an Exchange survey, the following were cited as
reasons for buying common stocks, but not in this order: good when
living costs rise; long-term gain; quick profit; dividends. How do
you think they were ranked?
ANSWER: People who owned common stock put long-term gain
first, then dividends, good when living costs rise, quick profit.
Among non-shareowners, the order was reversed with “quick
profit” first. Daydreaming about quick profits can lead to fool
hardy risks and disappointments. Many experienced investors
have seen that, over the years, the value of many listed common
stocks and many dividends have increased—an effective hedge
against inflation.
QUIZ B: In order to invest, you should have an annual income
of at least $10,000; $20,000; $30,000.
ANSWER: None of the answers is correct. The amount you
need is influenced by your standard of living, provision for
emergencies and other commitments. About half of the estimat
ed 24 million U.S. investors have incomes of less than SIO,OOO.
QUIZ C: Match each security with its most prominent char
acteristic:
1. high-grade bonds O long-term growth
2. listed common stocks D fixed dividends
3. preferred stocks relative safety
ANSWER: High-grade bonds are often associated with stable
returns and relative safety over the long term; listed common
stocks with long-term growth; preferred stocks usually with
fixed dividends. There is no investment, however, completely
free of risk. What you buy, and when, depends on your goal
and market conditions.
QUIZ D: The New York Stock Exchange lists any U.S. com
pany. True or false?
ANSWER: False. Listed companies are an elite group—only
some 1,200—0 r less than I%—of all American corporations.
Ask a member firm to explain the advantages of listed stocks
and then decide whether they fit into your picture.
QUIZ E: The advantage of using member firm brokers is that:
they have met Exchange requirements for knowledge of the
securities business; they are full-time brokers; member firms
are expected to meet Exchange standards of ethics, financial
condition and investment experience.
ANSWER: All the answers are correct. But no broker is infalli
ble. Ask him for information and his opinion about stocks you
are interested in. One of his most important services is to help
you arrive at an informed judgment.
