PR. MOORE—
plicated.
Fortunately, before becoming
completely enmeshed in confusion
over the topic, the staff decided to
call on a leading Austin sociolo-
gist to ask her opinions in a field
in which she was specialized.
Dr. Moore, sociologist and wife
of a sociologist, is consultant in
family relations for the Austin
public Schools, the homemakintr
division of the Texas Board of
Vocational Education and the Hogg
Foundation for Mental Hygiene.
"We must remember that for
every change in the role of women
during the past half-century there
has been a corresponding change
in the role of men," she explained
"It seems fully as startling that
men have become homemakers as
that women have entered the busi-
ness world."
As an example of the changing
attitude about homemaking, she
cited a clash she visited a few-
weeks ago at the University of
Houston. The das- was in child
development, a -ubject included on
the home economies curriculum; 75
per cent of the students were men.
She believe that until recently
education for family living ha>
been too greatly ignored in public
#chool>. By assuming that knowl-
edge of how to g«>t along in the
family group something every-
one knows, educators may have
made a mistake, she said.
"Although adjustment ia, of
course, an individual matter dif-
fering with each person, we can
at leant teach the basic qualities
needed for adjustment to the fam-
ily pattern," averted f>r. Moore.
"Without knowing these tm-ic
qualities, a boy or irl may have
a hard time t^curing happiness in
marriage."
In her [mi ti' n a consultant for
the three agencit-, Dr. Moore
work- with homemaking teacher.-
arid school counselors to institute
family relations courses in high
school- throughout the Mate.
The changing pattern of the
family i* the most relevant factor
affecting women';- tatus, accord-
ing to Dr. Moore.
"Our whole modern society is
built upon an intricat* division of
labor which also applies to the
home," she declared. "For some
men and some women, duties in
life will }*• three-fold. People of
both sexes will function as home-
maker.-, a« earners and a- citizens."
More of Dr. Moore's thinking
along thi line is contained in a
bookie' she wrote for distribution
by th< YWCA, "Women After the
War."
"We must accept the fart that
in modern living women and men
may play merchantable roles of
any number «.f role- necessary for
well-being Democratic sharing of
home responsibility really means
the husband is not above washing
the dishes or emptying the trar-
b%gi . thn' the wife doe not renege
on her job of paying the insurance
or managing the budget."
Indicative of a definite trend,
commented Dr Moore, is that in
Jfor the first time in the his-
tory of the I'nited State, more
married than single women were
gainfully employed. The reason i-
primanh one of economic secur-
ity; higher standards of living
demand n higher family income.
"Rare i* the woman who holds
a job outside the home and works
for 'her own money' to spend on
herself, while she take* her hus-
band's earnings to keep the family
going," she continued.
And the inevitable cliche—
"woman" place is in the home?"
Dr. Moore believes that woman's
place is wh< rever she can contri-
bute best in the field she chooses.
Her reasoning precludes the age-
>ld concept of the battle of the
sexes, and she thinks that the peo-
ple of this country may be too
prone to be self-consicous ovei
"being a man. or Wing a woman."
"The important thing is how
adequate they are within them-
nelves We can each contribute ac-
cording to our abilities in what-
ever field we find to make the
contribution."
She hopes that within the next
b0 year* we can overcome a feel,
ing *hc terms "I, the woman, in
competition with you. the man."
"We ought not to undersell what
men have done for women's pro-
gress in the last 50 years—or
what women have done for men.
"In the world today the principle
question is 'what kind of human
being I am,' not whether the 'I'
happens to be a man or a woman."
Iteside the booklet already men-
tioned, Dr. Moore has written sev-
eral additional pamphlets. Her
books include "Family, Community
and Mental Health," now in pub-
lication, which she wrote in collab-
oration with Dr. Robert L. Suther-
land, and "Your Family «*nd You."
She and her husband, Dr. Harry
Moore, have contributed many
articles to sociological publications.
He is a professor of sociology at
the University of Texas.
The Drs. Moore were married
hhortly after receiving their first
degrees in journalism from the
University in They worked
on newspapei- in Austin ami San
Antonio before returning to I'T
to earn their master's degree in
sociology in 1932.
They received their doctor of
philosophy degree from the I m
versity of North Carolina in 1 ! H7.
Since that time Dr. Harry
Moore's work at the University ha
been largely in the public opinion

J. G. HRYSON, Mayor
field .while Di. Bernice Moore has
specialized in education for an im-
proved understanding of the fam-
ily unit and its importance to all
other phases of life.
Dr. Bernice's favorite quotation
a^K>ut marriage is one she borrow-
ed from her husband. And since
it seem- particularly applicable to
the interview, it is included here:
"Out of our inter-dependence,
we are privileged to develop our
independent living."
As a philosophy for marriage
and for life, it seems to have
worked splendidly for the Moores.
Austin American-State-man
C. McGilvray
Chairman Of "On©
World In Christ"
Mr. Cyril McGilvray was ap-
pointed Chairman of the "One
World In Christ" campaign during
the January Vestry meeting of
Calvary Episcopal Church.
As a part of that plan, the
Vestry has requested thr.t Mr.
Fred W. Catterall Jr. of Austin,
Texas speak to them on the night
of February 7th at 7:30 p. m.
This is one of the greatest lay
movements in any Church today.
Some twenty-five laymen went to
New York for special training.
These in turn have trained men
over the country to speak to the
vestries of every Church in our
land. Needless to say, all of this
was purely voluntary and self-
supported.
The idea hack of the Episcopal
plan is to assure that members
know, and are interested in a pro-
gram of expansion in practically
every phase of the Church's work
so that they will want to share in
it, and will support an increased
budget making it possible.
Through January the study in
parishes in all parts of the coun-
try concentrated on Episcopal
missions overseas. In February
the study topic is "Know Your
Church's Work at Home." It will
consider the little urban and the
little countryside cjhurch; w ork
with special groups such as Ame-
rican Indians and parts of the
12,000,000 Negro population; the
great task of Christianizing rural
America; keeping in the Christ-
ian way the thousands of young
men and women who are finding
a new world away from home
attending colleges and universi-
ties; caring for the spiritual needs
of the men arid women in the
nation's armed forces on land and
sea and air; ministering to the
suffering in mind and body in
veteran-' hospitals; and resettle-
ment of displaced person- form
European areas suffering from
the results of war.
The educational campaign will
continue to March 12, on which
date the head of the Church. Pre-
siding Rishop Henry Knox Sher-
rill, will bring a climaxing mes-
sage to the whole Chun h by means
of a radio broadcast. The mes-
sage will be sent out over one
of the largest networks ever ar-
ranged. and it will be heard in
homes in which people have for
any reason not gone to church,
but more especially, it will be
heard by Episcopal congregations
seated in their pews in parish
churches frrtm coast to coa*t,
Canadian border to Mexican bor-
der. by means of radio sets and
loud speakers set up in the
churches. It will come at a speci-
fied moment in the Sunday morn-
ing service, and will reach an ex-
tremely high percentage of the
Church's total membership of
more than a million and a half.

a radio station is so distant that
reception is difficult will be pro-

New Lin© Of X-Ray
Equipment Revealed
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 25.—A
new "stepping-stone" line of X-
ray equipment, which can be ar-
ranged into more than 300 dif-
ferent types and models of X-ray
machines was revealed here today
b.v the (ieneral Ejlectric X-ray
Corporation in a preview demon-
stration.
I he new product, known as the
Maxicon, company officials said,
will make it possible for even the
smallest hospital, industrial medi-
cal department or clinic to use
initial investment, and without ne-
cessity for discarding their small
equipment when patient demands
require larger apparatus.
I he new line was introduced,
officials said, to allow the small
hospital and clinic to up-gracje
their x-ray facilities one step at
a time — as their patient load
grows and their finances permit.
In less thun 15 minutes, two
men, starting with a simple, four-
legged x-ray table and tube ade-
quate for small hospital and
linic use, systematically added
one to another, at the user's op-
tion, to make up no fewer than
•'104 different types and models
of x-rey machines.
In addition, it embodies many
of the "knock-down" features of
thf firm's recently-announced mil-
itary x-ray unit, which combine
to make that unit highly trans-
portable and maneuverable. despite
its size and completeness.
Introduction of the Maxicon at
this time, according to John H.
Smith, executive vice-president, is
designed "to answer the neod of
growing hospitals for lower costs
of operation, and to relate the
cost of x-ray equipment to the
hospital's present and potential
load." He added:
'This is especially important
now that the 2-billion-dollar Hill-
Rurton Hospital Survey and Con-
struction Act is encouraging the
nuilding of hundreds of small, new
hospitals in sparsely-settled areas
throughout the United States.
These institutions cannot afford
the full-scope x-ray apparatus
now on the market until their pa-
tient volume warrants its pur-
chase; yet they must start out
with equipment that can x-ray
everything from a fractured fin-
ger to a broken back—from a
stomach ulcer to kidney stones."
As each part of the Maxicon line
is acquired, it can be assembled
to the original equipment with as-
surance that it will be perfectly
integrated. For instance, starting
out with a simple stationary x-
ray table and a 100-milliampere
x-ray tube, the hospital or clinic
could then add a hand-tilting me-
chanism for special types of x-
ray work; later a motor-driven
tilting mechanism, also a fluoros-
copic screen and a fluoroscopic
tube.
Subsequently, if the volume and
nature of the x-ray case load
requires, 200-milliampere radio-
graphic and fluoroscopic tubes can
be acquired. If the physician wants
to make spot films of views he
sees through the fluoroscope. he
can add a special device for this
purpose.
