6 News Herald, Thursday, Oct. 16, 1980 BPW Week Oct. 19-25 Bits 9n 9 pieces- The sheer numbers of women in the working force is astounding. Over 42 million women are part of the labor force; they constitute more than two-fifths of all workers. The number of working mothers has increased more than tenfold since World War II, while the number of all working women has more than tripled.

Many of the changes and opportunities that have been experienced are the result of a strong commitment by women to improve the quality of their lives. BPW is made up of women with such a commitment. They have long been leaders in the struggle for equal opportunity so that they may be full partners in the economic life of the nation. BPW members believe that their families, communities and nation cannot help but be stronger if the women of America are allowed to freely contribute their ideas, their skills and their strengths to society. That right is one for which BPW has worked since its inception in 1919 and one for which BPW shall continue to work.

Mayor John Fritz has proclaimed the week of Oct. 19-25 as National Business Women's Week in Port Clinton. BPW has been applauding working women for over 50 years. And in those 50 years a dramatic change has been seen in women's roles in the work force. During early celebrations of National Business Women's Week, nearly all honorees were In occupations typically held by females.

The group pointed with pride to the teachers and nurses and secretaries who performed valuable services in the community. But in the last decade or two, as educational and occupational stereotypes began to fade, there has been an expansion in career choices. A friend of 10 years ago may now be a district court judge. The girl who lived down the block is now repairing telephone lines for a living. And the girl who sat quietly in math class is now a scientist for NASA.

The flood of women into the labor market has been called the single most outstanding phenomenon of the century; Local BPW celebrates Two special events have been planned by the local Business and Professional Women's Club members to celebrate National BPW Week. Committee members planning this year's activities are Jean Dracka, chairman; Eleanor Sneary, co-chairman and Nancy Stoddard. On Tuesday, Oct. 21, a "Tempura" dinner will be held at the Sand Road home of Helen Mc-Connell. This Japanese fondue dinner is being planned by Eleanor Sneary with the assistance of Helen McConnell, Nancy Stoddard, Madelyn Rickel, Sharon Snider, Alfrieda Minderman and Anita Speer.

There will be an open board meeting the same night. On Thursday, Oct. 23, the members will attend a wine and cheese tasting party and dinner at Mon Ami. Included in the plans are a tour of the wine cellars. In proclaiming Oct.

19-25 as National BPW Week, Mayor John Fritz urged all citizens of Port Clinton to "join in this salute to working women by encouraging and promoting the celebration of the achievements of all business and professional women as they contribute daily to our economic, civic and cultural purposes."

It is such a special day in my life. On Oct. 16, 1955, my first column appeared in print. Yes, today is my silver anniversary as Ann Landers. I want to thank you, faithful readers, for stretching my mind in a thousand different directions.

You have sent me to psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians, lawyers, clergymen, veterinarians, educators, dentists, to the post office, the fire house, the beauty salon, the nutritionist, and even to the chairman of General Motors. The things you have made me learn! I have often said, "Everybody knows better than anybody" and you have proven it time and again. You have laid on the wet noodle when I needed It, but you have been just as quick to praise me when I've been helpful. Five years ago, when those letters. They are the only ones I have ever kept.

I never cease to be amazed at the superb writing ability of you nonprofessionals out there. Many of you could give me lessons! You are sensitive, irascible, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, savagely critical and fiercely loyal the lovin'est, hatin'est cross-section of humanity in all the world. There is no way I could do this job without you. On this special day 1 want to thank Field Newspaper Syndicate and my parent paper, the Chicago Sun-Times, for taking a chance on this amateur. Do I have any plans to retire? No, I do not.

As long as I have all my marbles, and the energy to do this job, I want to stay at the typewriter. I cannot imagine a life without work, and I know of no work as rewarding and exciting as this. So, thank you for making TIMELESS STYLING SIY OU'LL CHERISH FOR YEARS spice and apricot.
