(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 Y CLEANING & mUNDRY QUALITY WORK Ujwn.'.

Congratulations! ■M: -*■ 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- 4 sources. To them we extend our heartiest congratulations!

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. V , : 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^ Song is one natural capacity in ^ s * nav y* Most of his time was spent in the European theatre.

Burney, Jane Austen, Eliot, man in arguing the inferiority of women has been the lesser size and weight of the female brain. The average weight of the av erage male is slightly over three pounds; the female brains weighs about foiB ounces less. But scientific investigations re veal that* there is no relation what ever between brain size and in telligence. The biggest human brain recoird was that of an IDIOT! on Actually, in relation to total body size the female brain is gen erally larger than that of the male. Calculations prove that while man has one ounce of brain weight for every 47 ounces of body weight, woman has one ounce of brain weight for every 43 ounces of body weight., 6. Women’s intelligence ferior to man’s. is in- 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.

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. m % i WM * * Funeral 1 *
