de V1terl.
A talented musician, whose ar
rangements of ancient Inca melodies
for adaptation to modern use have
won her recognition in her own
country, the mother of three chill
dren and gracious hostess, Sonora
de Viteri was appointed by her gov
ernment several years ago as COM
missioner from Ecuador on the In
ter-American Commission of Wom-
en-. Having come to Washington for
the first time during her husbands
service as Minister from Ecuador 10
years ago, Sonora de Viteri is we'll
known in local club circles.
Asked about club activities of
Latin American women, Sonora de
Viteri declared: II can only speak
for my own country, but we have
many clubs, or committees as we
call them, in Ecuador, which work
for the improvement of conditions
among the poor as well as educa-
ton.
I'VE have a very important and
growing club called the Patria, COM
posed Of young women of education
and social position, whose purpose
is improving conditions among work
ing girls. 1t started in Quito about
six years ago with only IA members,
but has become so large and i'm
portant that it is nationally recog-
nized for the work already accom-
plished"
School Formed to Train
Girls for Jobs.
Sonora de Viteri explained that
the Patria established a school in
Quito, where girls of the labor
classes are instructed and trained
for jobs which members of the COM
mittee find for them. Free training
is given in many types of work, rang
ing from domestic to responsible
office positions. Sewing and needle
work also are taught, and the school
provides all equipment, including
books, typeWriters and sewing ma
chimes.
One of the most important wom-
ems clubs in Sonora de Viteri's coun-
try, she said. is known as Ell Soc-i-
edad Gotta de Leche, or the Society
OF the Drop of Milk A welfare or
ganization, she explained formed by
group of Ecudorian women several
years ago. it centers its interests
in free distribution OF milk to
children of the poor Sonora de
Viteris father, formerly dean of the
College of Medicine and Surgery in
| Guayaquil. established the first free
milk station in that city about 25
years ago.
From that time" she said, "free
milk stations have been sponsored
by women's groups throughout the
| nation until now practically every
city in Ecuador has its hygienic sta
ton, where children of the poor
may receive all the fresh milk they
wish"
Day nurseries and child welfare
work also occupy much of the inter-
est of Ecuadorian women, Sonora de
Vlteri declared, explaining that one
group has established nurseries
where working women may leave
their children all day, confident that
the little ones will be we'll cared for.
1--WE also have an active Business
and Professional Women's Commit
tee," she continued, which is in
creasing in membership each year as
Gus professional women increase in
numbers We now have two Ecua-
dorian women physicians practicing
actively in Quito and number of
women lawyers. We hope some day
we may have woman judge like
