Page Four. THE SALEMITE Friday, February 19, 1937. MRS. OVERTON SPEAKS AT Y. P. M. (Continued From Page One) pattern has gone. The father is no longer the priest of the household for women have been liberated. Mrs. Overton believes that women are not making the most of their compara tively new freedom, that they are playing with their liberty, aping men instead of trying to excel them. The feminine equation is still needed in Ihe world. Men do not want to be Jijied by women for it shows their in adequacy. An adequate person does iiot need to ape others but learns from everyone. Just because women have so much of the family responsibility does not mean that they should be slaves in the home. But neither should they be gadabouts. The disapation of able women, serving on so many boards and committees is dispairing, Mrs. Overton said, because in trying to do many things they can do noth ing well. Mrs. Overton continued by saying that women who competed with men were destroying God’s pattern. This does not mean that women should not stand on their own nor does it mean that they should surrender them.selves to be dominated by men. Men do not love that which they dominate, therefore this is the quick est way to lose a man’s love. “Men and women should stand shoulder to shoulder, with spaces between their togetherness, drinking the same wine but from separate cups, eating the same bread but • from separate loaves. ’ ’ Women who depend only on their gender to intrigue men never hold a great man long. Mrs. Overton said that the reason for so many divorces is that people do not realize that physical rhythm is not fundamental enough to build a home on. Women w’ho have the re.spect of others, who have strong basic qualities and can stand on their own make the kind of wives and mothers that are loved. Solidity of the home of tomorrow depends on the solidarity of the peo ple who build that home. Mrs. Over, ton said that the destiny of tomor row’s home is in our hands; that we alone could wave the golden wand. Others may give strength to our arm to wave it adequatelj' but we alone can wave it. Mrs. Overton concluded by telling her audience the three factors that go to make better women, wives and mothers. Keen insight of mind, ten derness of heart and respect for ro mance are the qualities that all wom en should possess. Grant's Birthplace Returned to Original c-■ The little cabin where Ulysses Simpson Grant first saw the light of day has been returned to its original site with appropriate ceremonies. For many years the cabin stood on the grounds of the state capital at Columbus, Ohio. It has now been returned to Point Pleasant, 30 miles east of Cincinnati. The birthplace of the baby who grew to be “Unconditional Surrender” Grant of Civil war fame and eighteenth President of the United States, is the simple little white building at the right of this picture.
