Rev. W. H. Oswalt was returned to the Methodist Church by Methodist Conference for the fifth year. Mrs. H. F. Peters (Leora Stambaugh), organist and choir director at the Methodist Church, was honored by choir members with a gift of a silver vanity case. She resigned as organist after serving 17 years.Mrs. Sarah Jane Taggart, Orr-vilie pioneer mother, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kim-berlin, on South Main Street. Bom in Wooster, the last member of a family of six, she reared four children — Col. Elmer Taggart of the U. S. Army, Frank, an attorney in Denver, Col. Howard Taggart, a passenger agent of the BO Railroad at Baltimore, Md., and Mrs. Alice Kimberlin of Orr-vilie.OHS football team won its first game of the season with Kent High, 12-6.

My only question is where are they going tomorrow?Last week I did an interview for the Wooster paper with five local resident —- three women and two men — asking them their views on the Women’s Liberation Movement. After talking with them, I can see that there are pros and cons for either side. (Previously, I had never really seriously considered the matter, though I had read several articles about it. You might say I was apathetic, or just a* member of the great silent majority.)I don’t support the bra-burners or radical faction of the movement. But, unfortunately, they are the ones who are drawing attention. However, credit also must be given to the campaigners and pamphlet passers who are doing just as much good in a quiet way. They’re distributing literature to inform the general public — and that’s half the battle.Biggest gripes that women have are employment and job discriminations against them. I strongly believe that in many instances, they really have a right to complain. There are many situations where women employes are underpaid. Labor statistics for last year (and please remember that I quote this from memory) showed that women received only about $69 for doing a comparable job that men were paid $100. to do.If my subtraction hasn’t failed me, that’s a $31 difference. Wouldn’t you be upset? The thing that women are fighting for is ‘cold, hard cash’ and I can’t say that I blame them.The argument of many is that the woman’s place is in the home — cleaning, cooking and taking care of the children. So what if a female is unmarried and is trying to make a career out of a certain job? She should stand by and play second fiddle to her male equals? Or should she get married even if she doesn’t want to. That’s hardly realistic.What about women who have to work to make ends meet? You know, the kind that if they didn’t work, there wouldn’t be any home to clean? Think about that.
