BILL PROUTY
Did you know that today “we
are beset by the conflicting ide
ologies of masculine paternalism
and aggressive femininism,” and
that a new pattern of partner
ship between men and women”
must be found.
Well, according to Dr. Kath
leen Bliss, of Sussex, England,
chairman of the division of ecu
menical action of the World
Council of Churches, in a report
to the council’s central commit
tee in Rochester last week, this
is the way mm and women folk
find themselves lined up in pres
ent day society.
According to the report, “The
male’s impulse to rule the roost,
and the woman’s drive to outdo
him are blighting relationships
between the sexes.”
Social patterns and legislation
expressing the "equality of men
and women” are essential if we
are to resolve these differences,
the report contends.
But, in asking for these stand
ards of equality, the report said
it didn’t mean that men or wom
en should assume roles “alien to
their natures and culture.”
Well, I don’t know about Dr.
Bliss’s England, or about the
Continent, where ‘ ‘masculine pa
ternalism,’’ with its “impulse to
rule the roost,” presumably is
still the order of the day, but in
the United States it seems to
this old sideliner that at least
part of the apparently growing
hassle between men and women
is due to legislation already on
the books, or immediately pend
ing, which expresses the very
same “equality of men and wom
en ’ called for by the report.
Ever since the ratification of
the Nineteenth Amendment to
our Constitution in 1920, giving
them the vote, the complete em
ancipation of the American wom
an has been assured, and now
with their guarantees of com
munity property rights; equal
pay for equal jobs, and their
breakthrough of the restraining
ancient moral mores, the Ameri
can woman has indeed became
the legal and social equal of
her male contemporary.
And yet, this equality, which
seems to be what Dr. Bliss is
really driving after for all the
women in Christendom, does not
appear to have solved the prob
lem in this country, if the ever
rising divorce figures are a fair

indication of the force of the
wedge of misunderstanding which
is being driven inexorably be
tween American'men and wom
en.
If, then, equality under the law
has not solved the problem,
whither should we look?
Isn’t it just possible that in
“dependence” rather than in “in
dependence” is to be found the
true and rightful relationship be
tween sensible men and women.
Perhaps, only in dependence can
there be found respect and love
in sufficient quantities to over
come all differences.
Could it be that American
women, with their votes, and
their increasing money-earning
power, and their growing wealth
and influence, are becoming their
men’s rivals rather than their
partners, their associates rather
than their loved ones, the moth
ers of their children rather than
the stewardesses over aH of their
domestic domains?
And could it be that Dr. Bliss’s
“new pattern of partnership be
tween men and women” could
be best found in the words of
King Lemuel, in his beautiful
praise of a good wife, scores of
centuries ago in the Book of
Proverbs:
“Who can find a virtuous wom
an? for her price is far above
rubies. The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her . . . She
will do him good and not evil
all the days of her life . . . and
she worketh willingly with her
hands . . . She considereth a
field and buyeth it: with the
fruit of her hand she planteth a
vineyard . . . Strength and hon
or are her clothing: and she
shall rejoice in time to come...
Her children arise up and call
her blessed; her husband also,
and he praiseth her . . . Give her
the fruit of her hands: and let
her own works praise her in the
gates.”
Isn’t it possible that this role
is still woman’s destiny, her hap
piness, her salvation: and that
any other major part, chosen in
its stead is actually “alien” to
her nature and culture, in the
words of the report?
Could be Ole Lemuel had the
right word for it, Dr. Bliss and
right out of the Bible, too!

Dorothy Tutin plays the title role in a presentation of
Jean Anouilh’s “Antigone,” to be broadcast over WUNC
TV this week. The modern adaptation of the Greek
tragedy was first produced during the German occupa
tion of France and was intended to encourage the Re
sistance movement through its juxtaposition of the
idealistic individual (Antigone) and the cynical dictator
(King Creon). “Antigone” is shown throughout the
country by National Educational Television and may be
seen on Channel 4 Friday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 8 p.m.
Latter To Editor
Dear Sir:
Guilford County this past week
was treated to a political trial
balloon which could only have
happened because of extreme
confusion in the ranks of the
state’s professional Democrat
politicians, who are giving every
indication that “I don’t want to
run against Charlie” is to be
their theme song and swan song.
The trial balloon sent up by
the supporters of Federal Judge
L. Richardson Preyer has all the
spontaneity and grass roots flav
or that the ministrations of a
trained professional public rela
tions man can give it. I recog
nize the touch, because I am
using the same gentleman to do
some work of another kind for
my company.
Judge Preyer is unquestionably
a fine man and would give the
Democratic party a respectable
candidate for governor, if nomin
ated. I know, because I am a
member of the same Sunday
School class advertised by his
supporters, and have profited
from his teachings. (The class
does, however, also have several
other fine teachers who minister
to our souls in rotation).
The North Carolina-voter and
taxpayer in this year of 1963,
and facing a fateful 1964, would
do well, however, to reflect on
tljese points:
If a Democrat is elected gov
ernor' of North Carolina next
year, and President Kennedy is
re-elected, that Democratic gov
ernor will have to be another
prisoner of the Kennedy machine
amt do what he is told from
Washington, or face the terrible
wrath of John, Bobby, Teddy,
et. al. We have seen a recent
example of that.
But if a Republican is elected
President, and if the South
throws off the shackles of Ken

nedy machine dictation and is
the keystone in electing that Re
publican president, and North
Carolina is left sitting dead in
political water with a Democrat
governor, it cannot be expected
to enjoy its rightful place, 1965-
1968, in the national business and
political revival that a house
cleaning in Washington will aid.
It is unfortunate that the Dem
ocrat party contains just as
many, if not more good and de
cent men as the Republican par
ty does. Neither party is any
longer a party of our fattens
and grandfathers. But the polit
ical facts of life are that a fam
ily, not a party, today runs
America—and the South in this
sad year of 1963 has seen what
that means in public disturbance,
riot and vengeance with a ven
. geance.
With the two party system, the
only answer to excesses com
mitted by one party, state or na
tional, is to elect representatives
of the other. The peculiar ac
tions of some of Guilford’s polit
ical accidents should be regard
ed as just what they are; next
time around the good men will
come out as they are coming out
in the Democrat party.
If Congressman Charles R.
Jonas of Lincolnton can be per
suaded to become the Repub
lican candidate for governor of
North Carolina, and a majority
of the voters can be persuaded
to weigh man against man, ex
perience against experience, this
state will have a forthright, hard,
clean and productive contest and
a lively campaign, no matter
who the Democrat candidate is.
The main thing is: Look at
Washington, look at Raleigh, then
look into your heart and decide
if you, personally, have had
enough.

When Vacationing
Tell The Police
Chapel Hill Police Chief W. D.
Blake has issued a request that
all persons leaving town take the
following precautions against
having their houses broken into:
—Leave an upstairs light on
if the house is two stories, a light
in the back if one story. This
gives no opportunity to observe
whether there is actually any
body in the house without going
on the properly, which is against
the law.
—Make arrangements with a
neighbor or deliverymen involv
ed to have milk and newspapers
collected or stopped. An accum
ulation of newspapers on a front
lawn or milk bottles on a front
doorstep is an indication to a
potential thief that the house is
unoccupied.
—Notify the Police Department
of your absence. Police will
maintain a check on the house,
trying doors and checking win
dows periodically, until you re
turn. A Police Department check
slip stating that the house has
been watched and has been found
undisturbed should be on your
door when you return.

Time to repeat my annual story
aboiut the mother driving up to
the front of the school and de
positing her six children.
“Thank the Lord, there they
go”
And the principal standing in
the door says, “Great Lord, here
they come.”

It’s time for our Annis Lillian
to start back, because several
weeks ago when we asked if
•Billy Jr. were asleep, she re
plied. “Uh, uh, I done seen him
woken up.”
But she is" also alert. View
ing Monday evening’s television,
Annis remarked: “Now, there’s
something our doctors here
should be able to do. Dr. Kildare
and Dr. Gillespie transplanted
Polly Bergen’s kidney and she
seng and danced a half hour lat
er on the Jack Benny program.”
And Billy Jr., who is 11, is
becoming too sophisticated.
Showing us around Camp Pow
Wow, he pointed to the girl s
bath house and said, “The wom
en dress in there.”

Incidentally, reporting on his
last sleep-out at ,camp he relat
ed that Tolley Smith had
“brought candy, popcorn, tootsie
rolls and more candy. We really
had a banquet.”

But there was tragedy in our
household last week. The han
dle broke off the refrigerator
door, and the kids didn't have a
Coke float all day.

They’re telling a story about
e local cat fancier taking her
cat to Dr. Lou Vine. She told
him she suspected the cat was
going to have kittens. Dr. Vine
said her suspicions were cor
rect. “'But that's impossible,”
she said, “the cat has never
been out of the house.”
“But how about this male cat
you have with you?” Dr. Vine
asked.

The so-called mystery woman
in the Wally Butts-Saturday Eve

Overheard at Memorial Hos

“I’d like to tear her blonde

Overheard at Aldersgate Meth
odist Church' after the Rev. P. D.
Midgett had preached a sermon
in which he suggested that a
housewife should think more of
the healthy family she was rais
ing than the toil of washing dish
es:
“He should face a sink full
three times a day for a week!
Then I wonder what he’d say.”

The Governor of Alabama not
only should let those children
enter school but he should have
gone in with them. He certainly
needs an education.
We wouldn’t have to worry so
much about civil rights if the
people on both sides who are
convinced they are right would
be civil.
