BY HARRIET FRENCH

when members of the
Woman's Club of Lyon Park
in Arlington wanted to let Mrs.
Paul F. Stamer know how
proud they were to have hel as
a member, they introduced a
resolution at their May meet
ing naming her as their First
Woman OF the Year"
1T was very touching to
me, says blond blue-eyed
Helen Stamer.
The club belongs to the
federation of Women's clubs"
she explains, land We are a
dedicated organization. We
help out with welfare needs.
Recently our support went to
the Arlington Association for
Mentally Retarded Children"
Three weeks ago Mrs.
Stamer was elected chairman
of the Arlington County Civil
Defense Advisory Council. She
is the first woman to be chosen
as head of this council which is
composed of II men and two
women.
WOman's Responsibility
Civil defense is an activity
in which I believe thoroughly"
states Mrs. Stamer emphat-
ically. Its a woman's re-
sponsibility. Emergencies may
arise during the day when the
men are away.
Il am proud to be aSsoci-
ated with Civil Defense. We
have trained more than half
of the federated club women
in the county. Any woman
in the county who wishes
training may arrange for it
by calling Jackson 7-4800 and
asking for Civil Defense.
I'VE give six hours basic
training to any group of Is
or more. The program in
cludes exercises which teach
the protection of the home
against fire or other disasters.
We've had an evacuation plan
formulated for a year" she
added.
Mrs. Stamer has worked for
Civil Defense since its incep-
ton. In the early days she
was a delegate from Virginia
who participated in a stimu-
lating, three-day conference
with President Eisenhower and
Val Peterson. Administrator
of Federal Civil Defense.
When I started in all
these, activities" Mrs. Stamer
recalls, Il had help at home
only one day a week. Now
since the arrival of little Mark
four months ago, l have a
maid three times a week"
Mrs. Stamer's husband is
manager Of the Bedell Manu-
featuring Co. Her parents are
Mr., and Mrs, Harry NJ. Be-
dell, both active in civic work.
Family Comes First
My family always comes
before anything else" en-
phasizes Helen Stamer who
graduated in Home Econo-
mics. She has worked out a
routine which has proven
satisfactory:
IN the mornings she gets
her husband OIL to work. Di-
anna o. and Paul Frederick.
lr. a., TO school. and the
baby to sleep on the porch.
Then She has the morning
free to cook or sew OF tele-
phone about Civil Defense.
Freddie comes home for lunch,
takes a nap and plays in the
ienced-in back yard. Dianna
comes home at three and usu-
ally plays outside too.
Frankly" confdes Mrs.
Stamer. Il believe in living
in a house instead of being a
slave to It, A thorough clean
ing once a week and a pickup
from time to time, is enough.
Cooking and sewing are what
! like best to do. I'm not
crazy about the vacuum
cleaner. II / ever have to
earn my living, III be some-
body's cook

all present grabbed a souvenir and
emerged from the Realms of the
Deep, a tired but happy group.
From thence they journeyed to
Schine's Milford Theater where a
full length movie had been pro-
