THE NEWBERRY SUN
They DO Talk More Than
they ARE more emotional,
have smaller brains...
(By Dr. ASHLEY MONTAGU)
**Women talk too muck! Wo*
•non are born liars! Women are
Miperstitious!
“Byt, of course, that is because
thmy are less intelligent than men.
They are less intelligent because
tbeir brains are smaller.
“If you doubt that, then consid*
4M* how few women have reached
the top rank of genius in music
mad the arts and science".
1. Women are gossips?
Of course wdlnen gossip, but
mo do men. Have you ever been
m member of a men’s club?
In a man’s view when his wife
talks with her friends it is gossip
whereas when he talks with his
(Mends he is either "talking busi*
ness” or talking shop.
Women probably do talk more
than men. One of the reasons, 1
•aspect, is that women find that
apeoch is the most readily satis*
factory of all tension releasers.
With their children away at
eebool and their husbands away
st work, women often begin to
talk to themselves. But because
that isn’t satisfactory they talk to
neighbors across the hedge, or
pick up the telephone and talk.
Or women talk to -their nusbands
when they arrive home and de
sire nothing more than to relax.
2. Women are more emotional
than men?
I
Of course they are! And in this
too, they show their superiority
to men.
Men are specialists in repress
ing their feelings. They call it
control. The strong silent man
stands by with a stiff upper lip,
and looks with disdain upon the
female who expresses her feelings
in tears and lamentations.
But women—because they are
not afraid to exhibit their feelings
when they should—make their
emotions perform the function
they exist to serve—the release of
tensions.
Women don’t fight. They don’t
curse. They don’t lose their tem
pers as often as men do, and ex
ceedingly rarely commit acts of
violence against another person.
Though quicker on the up-take,
they do not jump to conclusions
so hastily as men.
As a result they do not go off
half-cocked so frequently as men
do. In short, men are emotionally
weaker than women and break
more easily under emotional

Having been an affiliate member of the Newberry County
Soil Conservation District during the past year, we are proud
to list, during this soil conservation week, some of the accom
plishments of the SCS Districts and Co-operators in 1954:
During the year 3034 acres of pasture were seeded; sericea
was planted on 633 acres and perennial vegetation was estab
lished on 38 acres in natural draws for use as water manage
ment areas. Ninety-four miles of terraces were built and 57
ponds constructed. Ninety-seven new co-operators were helped
by the District, to bring the total to 1208. Woodlands were
protected from fire; feed patches for quail were established;
farmers were given credit assistance. Conservation was
taught in the schools of the county. The Bush River Water
shed was approved for planning by the Department of Agricul
ture. These are Just a few of the many ways in which local
SCS technicians aided in the conservation of our natural re-

sources. To them we extend our heartiest congratulations!

strain than women do.
Is there any wonder then that
there are so many more men than
women in our mental institutions?
That all over the world men com
mit suicide so much more fre
quently than women? That men
succumb to so many more nervous
breakdowns than women?
That men have four times as
many stomach ulcers?
Women' don’t drink nearly so
much as men do. Alcoholism and
deaths from alcoholism are enor
mously more frequent in men than
in women.

3. Women are given to lying.
* . . *
The charge is baseless! It is a
case of men trying to project up*
on women the' failings they are
unable to face in themselves.
That women have had to use
much tact and discretion, and exn*
ploy certain artificial devices in
order to achieve their ends,* has
led some men to the conclusion
that women are not straight deal*
ers. •
This is adding insult to injury.
Where there have been women
who were not straight dealers it
is because men have forced them
’into the oblique approach.
4. Women are superstitious.
There have been a number of
studies which indicate that' wo
men do tend t° be more super
stitious than men. This is not to
be wondered at
Chance plays an important part
in a woman’s life. When she will
marry? Whom she will marry?
What her future is to be?
These and many other questions
can only be settled wby chance,
which is another name for Pate.
But under similar circumstan
ces—where chance plays a consid
erable role—as in gambling, war
or sports, men are not one whit
less Superstitious than women.
8. Why no great women musi
cians?
Sir Thomas Beecham says "Wo
men ruin music. If the ladies are
ill-favored the men do not • want
to play next to them, and if they
are well-favored (good-looking)
they can’t.
Jose Iturbi refused to accept
girl graduates in his orchestra.
But Izler Solomon, first con
ductor of the first all-woman sym
phonic orchestra to appear regu
larly on the air, says: *
“It is perfect nonsense to say
that women are inferior to men
in the world of music. Women are
more sensitive and are apt to
have a finer perceptive reaction
to phrasing."
There have been many great
women singers, as all the world
knows^

That age-old myth has not a
leg to stand on. Indeed, from
school age to adult life, females
obtain a significantly higher av
erage rank in modem intelligence
tests than men.
Girls of pre-school age have a
larger vocabulary than boys.
Girls on the average begin to
talk earlier than boys.
Girls learn to read earlier and
make more rapid progress than
boys.
Girls learn foreign languages
much more rapidly and accurate
ly than boys, a difference that is
maintained throughout li(e.
Such tests as have been made
on adults parallel the findings
made on school children.
7. Then why have there been
•o few outstanding geniuses
among women?
Among the principal reasons are
the following:
1. For the greater part of
woman’s history most, fields of
achievement have beep closed to
them. *
2. In fields in which women
were admitted, they were not
permitted to enter on an equal
footing with men.
3. Or, having been admitted,
they were not encouraged to ex
cel, were actively discouraged, or
were not noticed at all.
As an "inferior race" women
have been deprived of the right
of all human beings—to realize
their potentialities.
For instance, when in the 19th
century, women first began to ex
press themselves by means of the
novel, they sent their manuscripts
to the publisher under a man’s
name— Currer Bell (Charlotte
Bronte), George Sand (Amandine
Dupin) and George Eliot (Marian
Evans.)
Charjotte Bronte, George
and Virginia Woolf are by general
consent considered supreme a-
mong English novelists.
11. And women on the. stage.
Women weren't even permitted
on the stage until the 17th cen
tury. Since then there has been
an unbroken succession of actress
es of genius. From those days to
the day’s of Sasah Bernhardt, Dftse
and Ellen Terry women have ex
celled as actresses.
Here is a field of accomplish
ment in which they have receive^
every encouragement. Possibly
there is an obvious moral to be
drawn.
12. And women in science?
In science—a field demanding
all the qualities which have tra
ditionally been regarded as su
premely those of the male—wo
men have been coming to the fore.
In physics and chemistry we have
the double Nobel prize winner,
Marie Curie. In physics, Marie
Curie’s daughter, Irene Curie-
Joliot.
In medicine it took a woman to
do what no man has done before,
for it was Florence Nightengale
who introduced humanity into the
handling and nursing of wounded
soldiers/
But it is not my purpose to
make out a case for women as
creative workers on a numerical
basis. That would be silly. My one
purpose is to show that women
have achieved great distinction in
every one of the fields in which
they are usually so unfavorably
compared to men.

Calling predators has only re
cently begun to spread out from
the southwest and take hold else
where in* this country. If you
should decide you’d like to try
this sport, about all you need ia
the will to stay hidden and the
“lung power to make a good dis

kinds are on the market now* or
a good call can be made with
your mouth if you can master thrf
technique.
In an article in Sports Afield
magazine. Hart Stilweft says that
the best time to hunt predators
with a call js late in the afternoon
or early in the morning—unless
you want to try it at night, ^rhicti
is still better for /all predators,
except coyotes. The coyote Is a
tough not at night because he wjll
slink in to look things over, and
he’s likely .to hightail it away

The best place to call Is near
a water hole. Calling works bet
ter when there is only a little
breeze, and of course you ought
to take a* stand where the preda
tors won’t wind you In coming
to the call. Obviously it’s better
to work up-wind most of the time
in moving from place to place to
call.

We are proud of the interest being taken by
the youth of our county in the preservation
of natural resources. Teachers in our
schools, cooperating with the Newberry
County Soil Conservation District, recog
nize conservation of human and natural re
sources as an opportunity and a challenge.
These teachers relate the conservation of
soil, water, wild life, minerals, and forest
resources to subjects taught. At one school,
the year’s program of emphasis in this
field was brought to a close on last May 28
when all children and teachers in Newberry
Junior High School took a tour to see soil
and water conservation on some farms near
Newberry. 1
Knowledge of preservation measures, in
stilled in pur children today, will assure for
us better lands tomorrow.
fcongratulations to the Newberry County
Soil Conservation District, the many co-op
erators throughout the county, the school
teachers and all others who are teaching our
young people the value of conservation.
