her of the President’s Commis
sion on the Status of Women,
speaking to the National Fed
eration of B&PW Clubs conven
tion stated “no modern nation
can be truly great without the
leadership of women”—this is
Theme I of the Commission on
Status of Women.
Referring to the commission,
Miss Hickey said “for the first
time in our history, we have an
official body at the highest level
to give consideration to the po
sition of women and the func
tions they perform in the home,
in the economy, in the society.
“The commission’s report will
mark the beginning of a new
epoch, one in which women will
no longer need to claim special
protections but instead will ex
ercise rights and carry respon-
I sibilities as co-equals. It’s basic
objective, therefore, is to open
doors for the modern woman, so
that she can function in today’s
world as an individual in a role
of her own choosing. At last she
is free, to be a woman, in her
I relationships to family and chil-
I aren. and a citizen, a worker, a
| scientist, a poet, a politician.
This status concept ends the old
guilt feelings about whether
women should work outside the
home or not. At last she can be
। a person of worth to the society
I and to herself throughout her
I increasingly long lifetime.” Miss
I Hickey explained the report will
LETTER TO EDITOR
103 Ruby Lane
Forest Park. Georgia
„ , , _ August 15, 1963
Mr. Jack Troy, Editor,
Forest Park Free Press and
Clayton County News and Farmer
1172 Main Street
Forest Park. Georgia
Dear Mr. Troy:
As a resident and taxpayer of Forest Park for two years, I must admit
apathy toward city governmental affairs in the past. Recent events published
by you and The Atlanta Journal have awakened me to the fact that I and
my family are directly affected by the yea and nay votes and ve:oes or tne
governing body.
I am not educated in the fine points of running a city. I am not in
clined to want to be involved in politics. But I would like to know what is
going on.
You recently dedicated one of your issues to the taxpayers of Forest
, ark. I am numbered among that group. I have the duty io pay taxes and
I feel I have the right to be told the whole story.
I appreciate what you have done to bring to my attention the facts
as you have found them. But in all fairness to the Mayor, the Councilmen,
eac ^ an d every'citizen of Forest Park, we need to hear the other side
of the story too. There is another side. It may or may not be a pretty story.
But it should be told.
To this end, I want to ask if you will provide space for Mayor Puckett,
or any other responsible member of city government, to give us first hand
information concerning the circumstances now existing in City Hall.
This duty is charged to the Mayor and Council if they are to com
mand respect and support in the future.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Henry S. Johnson
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Mrs. Johnson: How are you going to explain “stealing
candy from a baby?" The audit, Ma'am, is the OTHER SIDE in this case.
We will run it —as a public service.
Reconstruction of Crime
(Continued From Page 1)
they sent the political writers
to cover the BIG STORY.
But what happened in Federal
Court wasn't really THE BIG
STORY. The one you are NOW
reading is worthy of a promi
nent place in TRUE STORY. It
is not any part of fiction, either.
We, of course, standing on the
record, knew that Sanders was
ruthless; that he had no con
cern, much, for anybody; he
sacked a fine man with a sick
wife and a polio stricken boy ;
who recently died.
He double-crossed Garland
Byrd and caused his OLD
FRIEND and LEGISLATIVE AS
SOCIATE to have a HEART AT
TACK.
He has Aderhold under his
thumb, so it was no real trick
to persuade him to take the
steps necessary to “ruin Wallace
Butts, and his family.”
But what Sanders seems to
forget is that there are Griffin
men around who are still Griffin
men. Robert Kemper was a great
one, along with the writer. To
day, I salute Robert’s great
memory and I hope he can look
down and see what has hap
pened to Sanders! How about a
be a guide and resource book for ;
i clubs with its charts and data
| on this century of progress for j
| women. “In a real sense, the
I commission has formulated a
| new concept of status for men'
I and women as partners in all
the great enterprises of a mod-
' ern world, and none more lip- ■
i portant than that of the hofhe, I
where women still carry the
larger share of work and worry,” |
she stated.
“This means giving up the,
labeling of roles. To answer
‘help wanted’ in the modern 1
world we cannot afford the old
irrelevancies of bracketing oc
cupation with sex.”
“The commission’s first vic
| tories, achieved even before its
report, resulted from removing
from our Federal Civil Service
the prerogative of officials to
specify sex in asking for names
of eligibles.”
Miss Hickey said the Civil
Service Commission and the
Foreign Service have been asked
to undertake studies of employ
ment profiles and the relative
advancement rates of men and
women. These studies will be re
leased at the time of the Presi
dent’s report and will give the
women a chance to substitute
facts for conjecture about turn
over rates, absenteeism, atti
tudes on the part of men and
women affecting promotions.
“This new knowledge can ex
tend women’s opportunities to
new levels,” she asserted.

Miss Hickey also called atten
tion to a study undertaken at
the request of the commission
by the Public Personnel Asso
ciation in state and municipal
levels with responses from 43
states and 33 cities. This infor
mation will be included in the
President’s report.
She warned that statistics
point to a disturbing decline in
long term, high-level careers for
talented women; that in the
United States, a very small per
centage of women capable of
earning higher degrees elect to
work for them; that in the
matter of public distinctions
women, are slipping even in
Who’s Who.
The former B&PW national
president suggested that quali
fications of women need to be
better publicized because pat
terns of leadership development
for women do differ from those
of men; that women must rec
ognize their own worth first and
then overcome, the difficulties
in getting the higher appoint
ments.
