"We Republicans elected Prox-mire to the senate in 1957!" The Portage County Women's Republican Club heard this charge when it met Monday afternoon in Hotel Whiting. Some 80 women heard Ed. Tcrrill, Waunakee, assistant executive secretary and field director of the state GOP organization, when he appeared as a "surprise speaker." He explained his charge by saying that county Republican organizations didn't function for the special senatorial election, and Republicans stayed away from the polls. "Melvin Laird (R-7th District) Is one of the best lawmakers in Washington," he continued "but he can't carry Portage County. Why?" He showed the audience recent election statistics.

"In 1950, 45 per cent of the Portage County vote was Republican. Since then it has declined to 41 per cent In 1956." "Don't let the Democrats get their foot any further In the door," he challenged. Looking to the future, the field man said: "We have quite a few things to discuss In our campaigning and Bill Proxmire Is one of them. His record clearly Indicates he's Interested in only one thing what is good for votes for Bill Proxmire!" Mrs, Robert A Murray. Osh- kosh, vice chairman of the state Republican Party and lone act Ive in party circles, agreed with the field secretary.

In her talk to the women, fbl lowing luncheon, she asked the volunteer workers to follow a three-point program: 1. Organize In every precinct. 2. Renew faith In the Republican Party, and its belief that government do for the people only what they can't do for themselves. 3.

With this In mind, go out and preach it! Mrs. Murray, who called herself "a very concerned citizen and mother," attacked the labor movement as havingj become a political movement. "This is no attack on the unions themselves," she laid, "but on labor bosses and goon squads who consider themselves beyond the reach of the law." She continued, "We In Wisconsin are well aware of the collusion of the Farmers Union and CIO." The Republican Party officer lashed out at Walter Reuther, asserting that his activities ex-tend beyond leadership of the United Auto Workers Union to the Americans for Democratic Action, which she said is a pro-Communist organization. "I wonder If every workman agrees with Mr. Reuther in supporting the ADA?" she asked.

She described him as a power ful figure in the Democratic Party. "No Democratic aspirant can become a candidate without Mr. Reuther's blessing," Mrs. Murray charged. She noted that industry management is "doing a poor Job Wife Preservers Combin txerci'i with efficiency by crawling up on top of a wall-bound bed to make it, rather than pulling it out from the wall and working around M- 25-Year Teachers Honored Teachers who have served Stevens Point's public school system for 25 years or more were honored at the annual teacher service recognition night dinner held Monday at P.

Holthusen, president of the Board of Education. "It speaks well of you folks and I think it speaks well of Stevens Point. "Parents are deeply grateful of your time and effort." The dinner, attended by board members and teachers, "should be a public event whereby more people of Stevens Point can know you and know of your achievements," said Holthusen. "Possibly next year we can do something a little bigger and a little better." Mayor P. M.

Vincent, super intendent of schools for many years, recalled that it was 39 years ago that he signed his first contract with the school system. "We. hope each of your years will be better than the preceding ones," he said. Alderman H. L.

Kurtzweil (1st Ward) said the city was anxious to do its utmost for the teachers and other municipal employes. Alf E.

As the ingredients of a successful "actress," Mrs. Shada listed dedication to a chosen field; work only under a special- director; the use of someone who has gone before as a model, and consideration of the role itself. "We are dedicated," she said, "if we are willing to sacrifice personal pleasures and comforts to fulfill what Is expected of us." There is no excuse for a poor performance, she declared, "if you use your church as a director." She asked her audience to thank God for the example provided by the mother of Christ and advised them to use her as their model.

"Those who are great have a model," she declared, "Do we understand our role as women and then do we perform It?" she asked. By every action, she advised the Mrs. Earl Shippy introduced the guest speaker and entertainers during a program which followed the dinner served by women of St. Peter's church. A group of St.
