The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is not a fashion show organization and doesn’t have any male members. But we do have occasional fashion shows as a fund raiser for fellowships and scholarships for young college age women. Membership in the A.A.U.W. is open to any woman who has a B.A. from an accredited college or university. Our organization isn’t “political” in that we get out in the commuity and do things. We have candidate nights, status of women and legislation reports, observer corps to attend all public meetings, consciousness raising for members. One of our bigget events is the annual book sale.

A plant serviceman, cleans, trims, prunes, waters and exchanges rented plants. I’m dusting a fiddle-leaf fig plant at the Trans-America building observation floor. I’m totally content with what I’m doing now.

I gross over $200,000 a year as the owner-manager of a donut store, but there’s a price to pay. I come to work at 2:00 A.M. to begin the daily routine of making 250 dozen donuts. I eat dinner at 4:00 in the afternoon and am in bed by 7:30. I was a Depression baby. Now kids say there has to be something better. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California
