26 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, June 15, 1961 Women In Laos Enjoy Freedom NEW YORK (AP) -- For months now the tiny Country of the Million Elephants has been consistently in the news: War, East-West * struggle, cease-fire negotiations, conferences. ut behind the headlines, what is life like in Laos, what is the role of women? Samlith Ratsaphong says: "Women are very free. They en- 4 democratic rights as in estern countries. They can vote at 21; they can own prop- erty. Some are teachers, a few are doctors." Ratsaphong, first secretary of the permanent mission of the Laotian delegation to the United Nations, goes on: "We have one lady in the legislature, Khamp- heng Boupha." t about a woman in the "Not yet," says Ratsaphong, and then adds with an air of complete disbelief in what he's saying, "but it's possible." Some women work in offices, "but only modern women, and not too many of them," he ex- plains. "Even if they do office work, they live with their fami- lies, They can never live alone, as women do here. And they work only before marriage. Lao men want their wives to be good at home, not outside." 'NO DELINQUENCY' Practically everyone in Laos marries, usually between the ages of 18 and 25, and has about five children. Ratsaphong and his wifé are no exception. They have five children, all under 10 years, who live with them in an apartment next door to the mis- sion's office building. Laotians have great respect for age and family, he says, and great affection for children. "We have no boarding schools. We have no delinquency. Mothers stay home and take care of the children." family's clothing, from growing the cotton to weaving it into cloth. When their other house- hold chores are done, the slender, fine - featured Laotian women can usually be found at their spinning wheels or looms. Although there are many old sayings to the effect women should sleep with heads lower than their husbands and should not eat until he has started on his rice, Laotians deny this means women are considered inferior--especially not today. It is only to remind them they should be agreeable and loving. If wives become angry--and it's conceded they do on occa- sion--husbands are supposed to remain calm and try to pacify them. This act of connubial courtesy is called picturesquely: dipped in cool water." Mothers also make all the! "Stroking the heart with a hand Second B NEW YORK (AP) -- Few actors since the late John Barry- more have been able to live up to the grand manner offstage. Cyril Ritchard is one. "This idea of just being a Tom, Dick or Harry is all wrong," said the Australian- born star, now appearing on Broadway in The Happiest Girl in the' World. "The people in the theatre should be a race apart. When they appear in public, which should be seldom, they should look as glamorous as they do on stage. "I think we are getting back to this. The gutter period-- maybe we've had it for a while." Ritchard made his most mem- orable hit in the United States several years back in the role of Captain Hook in Peter Pan, in Cyril Richard arrymore which he co-starred with Mary Martin. But over a 44-year ca- reer on three continents he has won renown as a play and opera director as well as for his genius in musical comedy. At 62 the tall, impeccably dressed actor looks 45. This can at least partly be attributed to Cyril's theory that life should be lived in the grand manner. MAKES OWN WORLD 4 | live in a small world of my own," he said, putting down his second luncheon martini and| reaching for his sea food jam- balaya. His "small world" includes his valet, Eddy Parr, an ex-British army cook, and two other serv- ants in his city apartment. It also includes two more servants Describing his country place, Ritchard said: "It's just a small hideaway-- 5% acres--with a small lake and a small waterfall. "Everything is lit up at night are boring." all, I am theatrical. "I have beavers and bird baths, and a deer comes in now and again for afternoon tea.
