"I think feminist is a perfectly legitimate term," she said.

But she does not regard the 0 as one isolated which she sought to explode what she regarded as the myth of bliss in the suburb. When she identified the suburbs as a "bedroom and kitchen sexual ghetto," she touched a sensitive nerve. The women were ready to be led out of their conjugal wilderness. Mi. Hernandez, who tends EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the second In a series of three articles on 0 's rights written by Paul Corcoran of Copley News Service.

Women won the right to vote In 1920. But contrary to popular belief, the first great feminist movement was a dud. Empowered to exercise their franchise, the ladies returned to predictable roles as housewives and mothers, bursting the bubble of equality. Leaders of the current, second major feminist movement of the 20th Century aimed at putting an end once and for all to "sexism" insist it will not happen again. All women want, says a prominent federal official who not co-incidentally is a lady, is economic equality.

Some others, including the president of the National Organization of Women (NOW), rights that go with equal Job opportunity and salary: repeal of all laws restricting abortion and a new law making child care a "broatl community responsibility." A bill has been Introduced by Sen. Robert Packwood, that would change the abortion laws, leaving it to the woman to decide whether she wanted the operation. There would be no other limitation. Sexism, as NOW President Aileen Henandez sees it, is built on stereotypes of the 4 woman and her role In society. The woman is brought up to believe in motherhood and the home, views nurtured in popular fiction and even enhanced by Interpretation of Freudian psychology which had some unkind things to say about the role of woman.

"There also are stereotypes about man and his role in society," said Miss Hernandez. Beverly White, Editor reason mere are iwo oiner Students Place In Tap-Baton Contests Accompanied by their instructor, Mrs. Mary Moore, students of Hempleman Pance- Studio attended baton twirling competition, sponsored by Ohio Youth Talent Association, at Muskingum County Fairgrounds, Zanesville. Local Cereal Sales Unaffected "In some ways they are parallel to the stereotypes about women. Sexism in concept is similar to racism," with all its false and misleading information about racial characteristics." Whether they are stereotypes or men and women always have been expected to play certain roles in life.

When, in the industrial revolution women strained to gain more freedom from family chores, leaders of Victorian society established new ground rules to compensate the ladies for staying in the home. William L. O'Neil, in his book, "Everyone Was Brave The Rise and Fall of Feminism in America," explained it this way: "In completing the transformation of the family from a loosely organized, indispensable adjunct of Western society into a strictly defined nuclear unit at the very center social life, the Victorian laid a burden on women which many of them could nor would not bear. The Victorians had attempted, moreover, to compensate women for their increased domestic responsibilities by enveloping them in a mystique which asserted their higher status while at the same time guaranteed their actual inferiority." In other words, a woman's place was in the home, and she better darn well stay there. This did not set well with more independent women, who, in the mid-19th Century, branched out from literary and church work to support social causes.

And they wanted the vote, especially after the 14th Amendment giving Negroes the right to vote had been ratified. Women activists of the day were bitter to discover that Miss Smith Entertained At Shower Miss Teresa Marie Smith, bride-elect of Charles Robert Johnson, was honored with a miscellaneous bridal shower hosted by Mrs. Larry Peters Placing in competition were: Norman Holmes, second the amendment applied only to Negro men. There Is irony in the fact that some women spoke out at the time against Negro enfran-chisment, which such feminists as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton had so strongly advocatedinthe 1860s.

Mrs. Stanton at one point predicted "outrages" in the South against white women because Negro men had been made bold by the power of the vote. Unfortunately, this attitude is still held by some women in the 1970 feminist movement. It is based not so much on racism but restricting one's objective to a single, feminist goal that excludes the Negro and other minorities from a common cause, Miss Hernandez believes. Miss Hernandez is a Negro.

U.S. Labor Department statistics show the rate of increase in salary for women is significantly less than that of men. What is the reason for this, and for the growing militancy of those who would change things? O'Neil reasons that the very freedoms which women came to enjoy in the 1920s actually were based on romantic and psychological concepts that tied them to the home. This was particularly true after World War II when women, anxious to resume married life with their husbands home from the war, gave up jobs to bring up families. This brought on an unprecedented baby boom which had a tremendous impact on the educational system when the children were old enough to go to school.

Millions of mothers, in recent years, have returned to the employment market to supplement their husbands' income, accepting relativejy low salaries for clerical and other low-salaried jobs. The new feminism that surfaced in the 1960s resulted in part because women resented a second class citizenship at the pay window. Betty i a the first president of NOW, catalyzed much of the new uproar over feminine rights with her book, "The Feminine Mystique," in Trimbles Mark 60th Year second place in tap and jazz divisions during tap competition at the fairgrounds.

Choate, Washington nutritional specialist, told a senate Committee recently breakfast cereals often have no more "go power" than can be provided by "empty calories." This charge may have worried the cereal manufacturers, but it does not yet appear to have changed the buying habits of Newark shoppers.

James Lehman, manager of the on South Fifth Street, reports no noticeable effect on sales of cereals. He pointed out that a coupon special on Wheaties during the investigation did well According to Choate, Wheaties is one of four heavily adverties cereals which ''fatten but do little to prevent malnutrition."
