Do you believe women are
discriminated against in
employment and pay?
This was the Journal's
question-of-the-week asked of
people in downtown Shelton, and
the response was overwhelmingly
affirmative, especially where
wages were concerned.
Many felt the situation is
improving. A few people said
there was no discrimination in the
Shelton area, although they
thought there might be some
elsewhere in the country.
More men than women felt
this kind of discrimination is in
existence. Some of the women
polled had never run into unfair
treatment in their jobs or as
housewives, and simply didn't
know of its occurence.
Shirley Erhart, library aide,
909 South 7th - Yes. They don't
get equal pay for equal work.
Mrs. Arlene Grewell,
housewife, 104 East D Street -
No, I don't. Maybe in very high
executive positions, but not
normally.
Janet Hurst, sales ¢~erk, 2020
Adams - I've heard women are,
but I really don't know.
Jim Eaton, corrections
ofrg:et, Route 3, Sheiton - Yes,
because people can't get used to
women having the same privileges
as men. But they're headed that
way.
John Price, supervisor,
Tacoma - Yes, in certain

The Shelton SchoolDistrict
Board is forming a Citizens'
Advisory Committee, according
to Dr. George Radich, school
board president. The purpose of
committee is to study the
Accd for a special maintenance
and operation levy based on the
ri plans
comml
goal of maintaining the present or
an improved educational program
for Shelton School District
children.
The main areas of concern
will be curriculum and finance,
although other areas may be
studied by the committee. The
S__h_e!.ton High School
program
instances in pay and positions in
employment. In supervising
positions they'd choose a man
first. I don't know how they're
going to change it.
Donna Hoiloway, housewife,
Box 804, Shelton - Sometimes.
It depends on the job and the
employer.
Dianne Arnold, housewife, P.
O. Box 911 - I think so. I don't
think it's as bad as it used to be.
But there are still many positions
where they are.
Kenneth Ellingson, store
manager, Route 3, P. O. Box 260
- There is a lot of equal
employment at Simpson. Around
town here I don't believe they are
discriminated against, but
probably in some other places
financial problems of carrying on
the present curriculum along with
adding new subjects or courses
and how to pay for them will be
discussed. The school board hopes
that a good cross section of the
community will volunteer to be
involved in studying the local
needs of their schools, said Dr.
Radich.
Those interested in serving on
the Citizens' Advisory Committee
to the school board should c~l

at 426-1687 or 426.1688 anytime
between 8 a.m. and 4:45 p.m.
they are.
Mrs. Jim Needham, retired
registered nurse, Shelton - I
think they have been exploited in
the past. But I think the women
are going a little too far now.
B. T. Winiecki, retired
chemical engineer, Sylvan Heights
- 1 think that's obvious. You
don't have to go looking very far
to find it. The Supreme Court has
already ruled on that.
Rick Blake, truck driver,
Route 1, Box 294 - Not really.
Not in most jobs. It depends if
they're qualified or not. Some
women are more qualified than
the men. I imagine there are some
jobs where they are discriminated
against.
Mabel Kidd, housewife, Route
10, Shelton - From what I've
heard they seem to be. I don't
work myself, so I don't know
from experience.
Mrs. Lincoln S. Walton,
housewife, 432 Ellinor - Not
right now. I think it's improved a
great deal.
Bob Benitz, corrections
officer, 126 Willow Place - In
certain professions. But I think
they're trying to be in some
professions that they shouldn't be
in.
Vince Glaser, tree farmer
driver, 2002 Spring Road. - I've
only worked in one place with
women. They weren't paid as
much and couldn't eat with the
men. They've been discriminated
against.
Becky Beierle, housewife,
Route 1, Box 197 -Yes,
sometimes. It depends... If they

John Gunther, cargo handler,
732 Orchard Lane- In some
ways, yes. In a lot of jobs they're
asked to prove themselves more.
They would hire a woman
because they would work for less
than a man.
Sharon Johnson, college
student, Route 1, Box 660 - Yes.
1 believe that women have been
discriminated against in the job
field. 1 am not an advocate of
women's lib, but I do believe in
equal job opportunity and equal
