WOMEN AS ENGINEERS The shortage of engineers may help settle the question as to how exclusively the slide rule is a man's tool. It has long been assumed that girls can't learn "math," and have not the mechanical aptitudes to be­ come the capable engineers. However, Women's Bureau of the De­ partment of Labor challenges that view. In its recent survey, "Em­ for Wo­ ployment Opportunities men Engineering'," in Professional it advised girls to aspire to become full-fledged professional engineers, pointing out that most civilian en­ gineering jobs require no more physical exertion than wielding the compass or slide rule. How much success women will meet when they seek jobs on the professional level will probably de­ pend on how badly they are need­ ed. Today about 1.2 per cent of em­ ployed engineers (both profession­ al and aides) are women, whereas in 1910 there was only one wo­ man engineer in 10,000. Aptitude show that in engineering about 35 men come through satis­ tests factorily for seven women who do. But certainly more women who have engineering bents could train for this field than do. Moreover, necessity develops hidden skills. Only a few years ago it was gen­ erally assumed that only a man could fix a faucet or. change a fuse. Now many a wife has become the handyman about the house . -Washington Post.

The ener­ getic activities of the water ani­ mals gave to the town its name­ Beaver. Two miles east of Beaver, Major John D. Williams, commander of the 8th U. S. Infantry, established the post of Beaver on May 25, 1872, and in 1873 a Military Reser­ vation was declared. By order of General Sheridan, the name was changed to Fort Cameron in 1874, to honor Colonel James Cameron, a hero of the Battle of Bull Run in 1861. The post was abandon­ ed in May, 1883. In 1898 the Murdock Academy was established on the site of the old Fort; it filled an important place in the educational needs of South­ ern Utah. By 1952 the Church felt that academies had served their purpose in the education o{ the people, and turned the Academy over to the public schools. The early settlers in Beaver, predominantly English, included many skilled workmen; by 1867 .a woolcarding machine had replaced hand carding. 1870 woolen By mills, saw mills, blacksmith shops, a tannery, and shoeshops had been established. Beaver Valley has some of the best pasture land in the state, and dairying is one of its greatest sources of income.

Beaver County has long been important in the mining annals of the state, and at the present time the development of uranium mines in the neighboring mountains gives promise of a continuing source of income. The biggest race meet in South- ern Utah is held in Beaver during the week of July 24th, bringing rae­ ing horses and their owners from Idaho, Wyoming, California and Utah.

While we are always striving fer stabiliza'tion and increase to' our membership locally, which as a mat­ ter of course strengthens our State and National Federations, we are this year expected to' give added emphasis to' mernbersnip promotion. Each state's goal is an increase of 15 per cent ever the preceding .year, and consequently Utah's figure is 1,038 members by June, 1956. This calls fer individual club action, set at and if each one will assume its share, which is also a 15 per cent increase, ever 1,000 members fer the Utah Federation will become a reality. This means that individual clubs will need to' increase in a (fer the ten range of from two member club last year) to sixteen (fer the 104 member club) members. With each member sharing in the responsibility, it can be done. May the peace and geed will in each of your hearts during the iov­ ous Holiday Season be manifest throughout the world. Adelyn H.

FROM THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE To pause midst the great rush of everyday life and think upon Christmas and all its connotations is a soothing potion for the soul. Your Executive Committee at this SEASON think upon friendships and the brotherhood of man, love, tolerance, and all the virtues expressed in our Collect. We appreciate the opportunity to serve a cause dedicated to the elevation of not only business and professional women, but all womanhood in general, whom, we believe, Christ held in equal importance, and perhaps exalted. We recognize that the achievements of our Federation will be as naught unless, in our endeavor to "AIM HIGH" we do our very best to exemplify a spirit of Christian faith and courage. Certainly no member, nor group of members, is sufficiently adequate to achieve all things. Not only do we need to look to each other for help, but also "unto the hills" for the strength and wisdom necessary Our thoughts have turned to fifty' one message to all of you at Christmas time: state attain to our goals. federations and to all members. We join in one common "May Peace abide within you) and may the spirit of the Saviour of Man lift us an to new heights in the year ahead."

To date, dues have been paid by 901 women in Utah who are convinced of the great worth of an organization de­ voted exclusively to the advance­ ment of the standards for women in business and the professions. YOU are convinced, but how many others our been personally respon­ bringing into your club during the year? Statistics, while at times not too interesting, are nevertheless revealing, and they have sible for show a you wide variance among the clubs. Two clubs have no new mem­ bers; three clubs have one new member; then this increases pro­ gressively to two clubs each having 16 new members and on to the very impressive figure of 23 new mem­ bers for one club. Former members who have allowed their membership to lapse for one full year or more are considered new members. Our newest club, Milford, with 23 mem­ bers, gives us a total of 192 new members for the year.

As a family which has included "grandma and grandpa" for good many years, we thought you might get some help from a few of our experiences. a You know that Grandma Brown isn't too steady on her feet what with her arthritis, so we have to be extra careful about not leaving things out of place or moving furni­ At first· ture without telling her. the kids got pretty tired of hearing us remind them to "pick up this" and "put away that," but now it's just a habit with them, and like as not they'll tell Bob and me to straighten something up. Slippery waxed floors are dangerous any­ where, of course, and in our house they're just taboo! And there's no letting rug repair or replacement go, either, because those worn-through holes make perfect heel-catchers.

He always uses the handrails, and I notice that he never forgets to turn on the light before he starts up or down stairs. Jimmy and Jean take turns walk­ ing the dog everyday now so that Grandpa doesn't feel he should do it. There are plenty of jobs he can do without risking a bad fall or a broken wrist trying to hang onto that live-wire pup of ours. We try to keep him busy with jobs that he can handle and not get hurt.
