Women's progress in Sweden,
like any kind of progress any
where, has been achieved by lead
ership and organization. 1t is not
surprising to find that Swedish
women, once they got started, are
as well organized as Swedish men,
whose fraternal activities range
all the way from the Rotary Club
through the whole field of scienti-
fic and cultural organizations to
the Society of Restaurant Boun-
GERS, the Union of Christian Trav-
cling Statesmen, the Odd Fellows,
the Viking Acrobatic Troupe, and
the Brush Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
A recent survey among 900 Swe-
dish women = containing perhaps
a disproportionate share of wom-
en- active in community affairs
showed that "a per cent of them
were members of an average of
2.58 organizations each. One be-
longed to 18 organizations, an
other to 80. A typical list was IS
follows: the Lolita Corps military
auxiliary, the Housewives Asso-
citation. the Red Cross, the Con-
sentative Party Association,
Pauvres Honteux "a charitable or

Friends of Poor Schoolchildren,

An investigation in 1947 reveal
ed even greater differences in sal
aried positions in free enterprise
Women bank clerks were paid only
so per cent as much as men hold
ing the same jobs, and in insur-
ance companies the figure was 4e
per cent!
Swedish women's organizations
are pointing toward an equal pay
for equal work" law similar to
those adopted by a dozen or SO
U. S. states. Thanks partly to the
general postwar economic difficult
ties suffered by all of Europe, that
goal may be some years away.
The problem of the economic
status of working women is a good
deal more than a moral issue or 4
political football. Sweden has only
7 million inhabitants, spread over
much larger area than Eng
lands As millions, for example.
The 744,000 working women of the
nation are an economic resource of

They are indispensable to the econ

structure would be crippled.
What do they do, the $4,000
members of this working battal-

history shows that the only JOB
that seems to have been open to
women without exception through
the years is that of bath attend

Norway Will Non GROW More Vegetables and Fruit

$1,000 tons of fruit.
The Norwegian preserving in
dustry is in rapid growth. From
1912 plants in 1900, the industry
now includes nearly 200 m a jor
companies. Firsthand value of the
juice and preserving factories is
estimated at almost so million
kroner a year.
Professor Skard concluded his
talk with these observations: Our
consumption of fruit and vegeta-
bles is far below the quantity con-
sidered desirable by nutritional ex-
perts. If we are to achieve a we'll
balanced diet, our present produc-
ton of fruits. berries and vege-
tables will have to be doubled.
That means increasing our truck
gardening area by well over 1900
acres, and planting million more
fruit trees. And, if Norway is to
become approximately self-suffi-
cient in regard to fruits and vege-
tables, we shall need better Gull
tivation methods and many new.
up-to-date storages."

$4,000 tons. Hothouse gardening
too, has grown by leaps and
bounds. Fifty years ago, tomatoes
were almost unknown in Norway.
In 1949, the tomato and cucumber
crop totalled 1900 tons. Simultan-
eously, the quality of the produce
has improved, and standardization
of containers, grading and pack
ing has helped to facilitate distri-
button First-hand value of the to-
tai crop is estimated at 165 mil
lion kroner a year.
The first Norwegian gardening
school was started in 1850 at
Lillenes in Aust-Agder province.
Last year, Norway had six we'll
equipped dollhouse and truck gar
dening schools, two schools COM
bining gardening and agriculture,
and several agriculture schools
featuring gardening divisions. The
Norwegian Agricultural Universe
ty has five Institutes conducting
experiments and research, each in
its own field of dollhouse and truck
gardening. Besides, the University
operates four research stations as

Struggle For Recognition Told

sisters, in economic and political
life, they are already planning an
other revolution. The first was
within the nation, the next, the
revolution now underway, is with
in the home. The authors of this
incipient uprising are the 100000
women at home" most of whom
are still running their households
and caring for their children with
out noticeable assistance - even
from their husbands and sons.
Thanks to an impartial investi-
cation by the Home Research In
stitute women have gotten dram
attic support for their contention
that men don't help around the
home. Careful diaries were kept
for so representative families,
showing the disposition Of time
during every day.
In only one of these so cases did
the father help with the children
on weekdays. On Sundays two of
the fathers had gone out with the
kids for a while, and three had
played with them a little. The
others appeared not to have given
any time to the children.
A compilation of the results
showed that the average working
day was 10 hours, 81 minutes, n
65-hour working week for the
housewife excluding Sundays. The
average woman had one hour and
20 minutes to herself each day. A
housewife with children had to
change occupations between 80
and 140 times a day.
A woman with three hours of
outside work a day was shown TO
have an average of II additional
hours of work at home each day.
A married. teacher had a work
day of 16 hours, eight at school,
eight at home.
Commented social worker:
Strange only that women haven't
revolted before" This reluctance
of men to help with household
chores is breaking down, particul-
arly among young people, but
there are still evidences of a lin
gering faith in the supposition of
male superiority.
Recently the Stockholm NUM-
cipal Electricity Works exposed
itself to a barrage of well-direct
ed fire from women's organiZa-
tons and a number of the news
papers. The authorities promoted
a clerk (male) with only one
years experience and passed over
two women clerks of the same
grade with % and 10 years of OK
perience respectively. Legally, the
last vestiges of discrimination in
favor of men in the civil service
were removed by an amendment
to the constitution in 1916.
The charges of discrimination in
the civil service as general
thing, despite the law, seem to
have good support in fact. Thus
"a per cent of the women in ma
tional government service are to
be found in the lowest Is classifi-
cations, only six per cent in the
top 80 classifications. But 81 per
cent of the men are in the top 80
brackets. In local governments.
non professional women employees
draw an average of only SO per
cent as much in wages as their
male colleagues.
In industry women have been
making progress. The average
wages for women industrial work
ers rose SO per cent between 1880
and 1945, while mems wages went
up only So per cent. Nevertheless,
women's wages still lie a good 20
per cent below the male average.

While the Central Bureau of
Statistics has been busy figuring
out that Norwegian truck gardens
last year produced about $4,000
tons of vegetables, Oslo dollhouse
gardeners have already offered
their first lettuce, radishes and
cauliflower to vitamin-hungry con-
sumers. Cucumbers will follow
soon, and by the end of April, Nor
wegian-grown tomatoes are also
expected to be ready
A survey of 800 leading truck
gardeners reveal that Norways
production of vegetables is due for
a considerable overall increase
this year. Planned expansion of
cultivated areas, compared with
the 194S-50 average, are as fol-
lows: Strawberries. 1870; rasp-
berries, 300; summer cabbage,
1920; carrots, SO; fall cabbage,
1870, and winter cabbage, 25fc.
There will be more string beans,
too.

'tial expansion of domestic truck
gardening and fruit growing dur
ing the past so years.
Production Tripled
Around the turn of the century,
Norway's annual production of
vegetables amounted to about 35,-
900 tons. Norw, an average year
may be counted on to yield slight
ly more than 100000 tons. Thus,
in the course of so years, produc-
ton has more than tripled. In

weather, total production reached

at her best. Settlement of the
issue in favor of women appears
to be only matter of time, how
ever; Denmark took the step two
years ago.
This practically complete legal
liberation and establishment of
equality before the law-undoubt-
edly as complete in practice as
in any country of the world and
a good deal more complete than
in most-represents one of the
most sweeping. peaceful revolu-
lions in recorded history, and took
place in less than a hundred years.
Until 1858, for example, no wom-
an could be her own master; she
and her property were legally SUBJ
ject to the control of some man,
father, husband, guardian. AS of a
law of 1858, a woman 81 years
old was permitted to go to court
and petition to become her own
guardian. The movement picked up
speed, new fields opened up, in
1889 Sweden's first woman physi-
clan passed her examinations.
Schools were opened up to women.
Trails were blazed by militant in
dividuals, organizations formed,
political agitation fomented. The
whole movement reached a climax
in 1919, when the parliament ap-
proved a constitutional amend
ment granting equal women suf-
frage. year before the nineteenth
amendment to the U. S. consti-
tuition gave American women the
same rights. The year 1921 saw a
wholesale revision of the marriage
laws, ending the husbands eco
nomic control over both his and
his wife's property, imposing mu-
tual financial responsibilities, and
revising the divorce provisions. To-
day, only 20 years later, more than
half the owners of corporation
stocks are women, and their COM
bined holdings represent half of
all outstanding capital shares.
Today women appear to have
penetrated into every phase of the
country's life except the three ex-
ceptions named. One of the out
standing physicians is DR.. Mama
Schwartz, who also holds a pro-
fessorship, a title of great dis
tinction in Sweden. DR.. X r i n
Koch was until recently a men,

met, leaving to become chief of
the CENTRALLY Statistical Bureau.
The first government district at
terney, an extremely shapely
young lady named Mrs. X ar n
Westerberg. was recently appoint
ed in Gothenburg. The Swedish
Foreign Office appointed its first
woman attache in the spring of
1850. Women hold % of the $50
seats in the second chamber of
Parliament (the body directly
elected by the people,. almost 10
per cent; and they hold 1928 per
cent of the elective seats in all
city governments las of the 1916
elections). There are 22S,000 wom-
en- members in the Confederation
of Trade Unions, close to 20 per
cent of the entire membership, and
the comparable figure is ~ per
cent in the central organization of
salaried workers. The 1910 census
showed 227 practicing women ply
