In Salem, Mass., six men Kaysville Rotary Hears Road Needs Kaysville Rotarians met Wednesday evening at the Davis High School cafeteria for their regular dinner meeting with Cecil Hough, president, presiding. HOWARD Bonnemort was program chairman. The guest speaker was Blain Kay, director of Utah State Department of Transportat- ion.

For ten years, the Duchy of Brunswick witnessed an average of ten executions a day. The French Judge Nicholas Remy personally sentenced 900 witches to be burned at the stake. SOME CITY gates became charred forests and other towns turned witch burning into a carnival-lik- e event. Confessions were wrung out by the cruelest imaginable tortures. One inquisitor boasted that he could make the Pope himself confess to witchcraft if he could only reach him. IN England, where torture was illegal, the legal tests were enough to cause some despairing women to destroy themselves when they heard they had been accused. While witch hunts did include men and children as well as women, by far the most frequent victims were female. THOMAS Szasz, who has written extensively about the social interactions of oppressors and the oppressed, suggests that many explanations of the witch theory make the terrifyingly simple but all important fact of mans inhumanity to man (and 1 add, to women( . . the image of the knight in armor, the symbol of mobility and of the black witch as a symbol of . depravity embodies the sexocidal hatred of women . .

It seems incredible that a religiously-base- deep-seate- d hatred of women could reach such extreme proportions, yet the information available seems to lend strength to the proposition. NOT ONLY were the sup- witches predominantly female, but posed Salem most were women who did not conform to the accepted standards of femininity. One was a black West Indian slave who told voodoo tales to children; another a penniless, pipesmoking beggar; one didnt attend church regularly and was suspected of loose living; a fourth was a ribald, innkeeping widow. During the witch frenzy in Europe, many fingers were truly pointed in fear. . .but there were uglier motives as well. Political expediency prompted the accusations of such notable women as Joan of Navarre and Elizabeth practices and superstitions of pagan times.

Its been nearly 19 years since we were catapulted out of high school into an exploding world. A lot has hapabout the age I pened, not only to me, but to my daughters as well, for theyve been with me during most of the journey. Betty Friedan would say "It Changed My Life," but for us, it has been our lives rapid and unrelenting change. I diapered babies while watching John F. Kennedy discuss the Cuban crisis on television. We were in the South when the freedom riders d'sappeared and the fight against racism peaked; in San Francisco in 1965 when the flower children gathered there and spoke out for peace. The youngest girl graduated from kindergarten the week I graduated from college, and that was shortly after the Kent State tragedy. The children helped me launch a career, and we rushed headlong into the emerging feminist movement. IVE watched and listened to my own daughters, and the girl children of my friends. We've tried to make things different for them, and we can only wonder if they, themselves, will be different. In some ways they are, and in others, they are not. IN THE families I know, is almost always one girl who is efficient, and extremely practical, and who, no doubt, will someday do well in real estate or the stixrk market. there Invariably such a child appears when the mother is an artist or a rabid feminist or both. The mother seldom understands how her daughter came to have such a personality, but it has something to do with compensation, we are certain. THEN there is the girl like Annas daughter in Doris Golden Lessings She wants to be ordinary. Shes had enough of Notebook. secondhand clothes and freedom marches.

To make sure you are really For the most part, it seems to me that our children, like children of every age, defy being helpful, it is wise to consult with the patients physician and have him circumstances are vastly capabilities and limitations. It is possible that the patient is not interested in minimizing his physical problems. categories. Through their life different, they are basically like us, their parents. DURING a long, cross- country trip with my youngest child this summer, the two of us had a chance to talk, and I was able to discover what thoughts rested beneath her passion for clothes, records, boys and sports cars. (My teenage passions were the same.) Despite the similarities between the women I know and their daughters, there are basic differences as well. The girls now talk freely about subjects we barely thought about, though they don't seem any more confident of their ability to handle drugs, sex, violence, and such, than we were. THE greatest difference is their attitude about the future. They are terribly worried at times as to whether they are choosing the right career; whether they will be able to get the training they need; about whether there will be jobs in their field; and if they will get the breaks they hope for. Many are concerned about whether or not to join the Army. know all about these teenage worries too. All of my brothers went through that 1 phase. JUST because I might meet the right guy and settle down," said one young woman, "doesnt make any difference. I still want to be an architect." She wasnt sure a mother could ever understand that. We. after all, had been raised in a different generation. I remember feeling that way too. outline the patients real REAL psychological problems are best handled with the advice of a physician, but there are several factors that illustrate the type of problems that may be encountered in living in a household with a handicapped person. -- The dependent nature of some people, which their disability tends to accentuate. lack of intellectual educational or -- THE ability background. -- Just plain laziness. -- THE need to let others do the work, after having spent a lifetime of "doing for others.
