Women of World
And Their Rights
Surveyed by BPWC
Recent achievements of women
throughout the world were dis
cussed under the leadership of
Mrs. Ethel Montgomery, chairman
International Relations Commit
tee, at the Monday meeting of the
Business and Professional Women
in the Baranof.
Speakers were Helen Johnson,
who told of women in Ontario
winning equal status with men in
the matter of working, voting and
pay received; Mrs. Dorothy Clem,
who related how women in Hol
land have achieved equal rights;
Dr. Reitlinger, who spoke on the
rights of women in Yugoslavia,
now granted full equality in mar
riage and allowed to keep their
own names and property after
marriage. “The biggest gain made
for these women was having big
amy made punishable by law; here
tofore a man could have as many
wives as he wished and get rid of
them by telling them to leave," Dr.
Reitlinger said.
Kay Nelson told about relations
between Asiatic and American wo
men. Olive Montel recited a sur
vey of the Voice of America which
indicated the progress made by
women in Greece. In Finland, Eth- |
el Finlayson said, domestic work I
has been made a legal profession,
scholarships have been established
at schools that teach domestic
work.
In her summary Mrs. Montgom
ery pointed out that the Business
and Professional Women of the
world had been instrumental in
all of these countries in helping to
promote these gains for women in
work and public affairs.
Speaker next week will' be Dr.
Juan Perez, surgeon now associated
with the Alaska Native Service at
the Government Hospital. He will
speak on the Philippines.
President Hallene Price who pre
sided at the meeting announced
that the annual teachers’ recep
tion will be held in the Gold Room
of the Baranof Friday September
21 between 8 and 10 p.m. All mem
bers, she requested to be present

Norblad Says
Alaska Rents
'Fantastic'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19—MV
Rep. Norblad (R-Ore) declared to
day that many landlords are goug
ing the families of military men
who occupy off-base housing In
Alaska.
A member of the House Armed
Services committee, Norblad re
turned recently from an inspection
of military bases in Alaska.
He told, newsmen that "fantas
tically high rentals are demanded
lor completely inadequate shacks.”
“While we realize that rental
conditions in areas adjacent to
many of our camps in the United
States are bad enough,” he said,
“those in Alaska are unbelievably
worse.
“One room shacks for a soldier
and his family of two or three and
without adequate utilities are rent
ing for $100 and up. Tar paper
hovels of more than one room and
with only outside plumbing are
priced at $125 to $150 per month.”
“Many landlords seem to be
taking complete advantage of the
servicemen,” he went on, “and
trying to get all the traffic will
bear as long as the housing short
age lasts.”
He said the Defense Department
should give housing construction
first priority in its over-all build
ing program "so that this unfor
tunate condition can be alleviated
as soon as possible.”
