AE’s Impact on the Status of Women
E.
Now, there is DRAGON LINDY!!!
Started 7 January 2007
A.The world heard of Amelia
Earhart and changed its ATTITUDE about women.
B. BOTH men and and women
including Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were impressed by her.
C. The media CALLED her “Lady
Lindy”.
D. The US DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
supposedly requested that she take an interest in Japanese
installations in the South Pacific prior to the outbreak of WWII.
E. EMPOWERED females literally
set the sky as the limit to their ambitions.
F. FATHERS allowed and
encouraged daughters to pursue endeavors and occupations
traditionally held by men.
G. After her disappearance,
Zonta International set up GRANTS for education, health and career
development for girls and young women. Improving the Status of
Women improved the status of families and societies. Tne world
caught the spirit.
1.
Last October, private citizens
actually started providing mini loans to women in 3rd
world countries just like the microcredit Zonta started more than
4 years ago.
2.
In Iraq, a
housewife was allowed and encouraged by her husband to open her
Internet Café introducing new technology to local people.
3.
Also in Iraq, a couple asked
visiting Agriculturists to teach their DAUGHTER to speak English
so she can go to school.
4.
In Russia, President Putin
started a government program to help families care for children
thus reducing the high incidence of child abandonment. Couples
are awarded a certain amount per child. It can be used for health
care, education of the child or child care to enable mothers to
get back to work to elevate their status. The award is given when
the child reaches 3 years of age.
5.
Also in Russia, female
interpreters and TV commentators are seen more often,
Unfortunately, a femele reporter was murdered for denouncing the
government. The male spy who revealed her identity later died of
radioactive substance poisoning. Before death, he wrote a letter
to his father to tell the world.
H. Writers had a HEYDAY. Amelia
Earhart’s sister, Muriel Earhat Morrissey, spent the rest of her
life keeping Amelia’s story and memorabilia alive. She maintained
that Amelia crashed within miles of Howland Island. In her book
and US records, Amelia’s radio communications during the last
flight indicated that her voice was increasingly loud and clear
just before the permanent silence. Her radio was capable of
audible broadcast within 40 miles.
I. More recent INVESTIGATORS
plan is to look 17,000 ft. underwater within 60 – 100 mi. off the
coast of Howland Island. A younger relative with the same name
plans to be in that team.
J.
Charles Berlitz, in
I don’t know which language, wrote that Amelia Earhart’s
disappearance has the hallmarks of a mystery triangle story
because of the concurrence of a storm and the absence of evidence
of a crash. He said that she disappeared in the Dragon’s Triangle
just W of Tokyo. Amelia took off from Lae, New Guinea, had to
deviate from her course because of a storm forcing her to climb
over the Bougainville Mountains at an added expense of fuel, was
heard by radio capable of 40 mile audability and disappeared
without a trace not even an oil slick. Perfect! However, Lae,
Bougainville Islands and Howland Island are ALL OUTSIDE the
Dragon’s Triangle. Perhaps Lady Lindy made one final record
flight through the Bougainville Heights-Howland Island channel.
There have been records of sightings of a strange lady in light,
smooth clothes aboard a sausage shaped craft during ancient
times. UFO’s and USO’s have been reported up to recent years.
Perhaps, the Dragon Lady was tired of being the lone female
subject of mystery triangle stories. Perhaps she needed help to
PROMOTE THE STATUS OF WOMEN WORLDWIDE. Now, there is DRAGON
LINDY!!!

UN International Relations Committee Update
8-12-04
by
Magdalena D. Guerrero,
MD (dr G)
7-6-04: Not mentioned in the Zontian but featured in Philippine
News, Olivia Ferry was voted President elect for the 2006-2008
biennium. She is from the Zonta Club of Makati, Philippines
which hosted the 1987 District 17 Conference I attended at the
Manila Hotel. We can talk about her some other time.
June and Aug 2004: Zonta International Headquarters gave an
overview of how Zonta International and the UN cooperate to
accomplish impossible projects across the world and named the
four ongoing International Service Projects and the new one to
be discussed during the convention. Delegates were expected to
choose three ongoing and one new project for the 2004-2006
biennium. Winners were:
Afghanistan: Quality education for girls
NMT program: preventing Neonatal and
Maternal Tetanus
Bosnia-Herzegovina: BATCOM Program (preventing trafficking of
girls)
Niger, Africa: MicroCredit and Health Program for HIV/AIDS
affected Women
With not one but four ambitious International Service
Projects, we need to work hard and at the same time feel good
about making a difference to women in various predicaments in
different parts of the globe.
Amelia Earhart Was One of Us
She was a member of the Zonta Club
of Boston
"Save
Amelia"
Bronzing Project
Laurel Schaefer (Right), Miss America
1972, member of the Zonta Club of Burbank, chairman of the "Save
Amelia" Bronzing Program, attended the Valentine's Day 2002
meeting of the Zonta Club of Casa Grande Valley held at Central
Arizona College.. Shown with her is Past President Magdalena
D. Guerrero, M.D., wearing a T-shirt auctioned during the meeting
to help raise funds for the project. The T-shirt
commemorates Amelia Earhart's 1928 First Solo Transcontinental and
Back
Flight by a Woman which brought her to Casa Grande in 1928. Dr. Carlene Mendietta re-enacted the flight and signed the T-shirt on
her Casa Grande stop on September 22, 2001. Laurel Schaefer
also signed it before the meeting ended.
Amelia's 1971 statue sculpted by Ernest Shelton
is deteriorating fast and needs repair soon. It is in danger
of being demolished for the public's safety. Zontians
and friends are
banding together to save it to honor a woman of outstanding
achievement.

Combined Amelia Earhart and
Status of Women Committee Program
Zonta Club of Casa Grande Valley
AE and Joey
Hello!
This is a first for the club. We are doing two committee
programs at the same time and I shall be playing two roles: Amelia Earhart's statue and Joey.
By
the way, that is a real code name and story except for this
episode. Since I have to play both, I’ll be switching
costumes with each change in role. It is going to be very
confusing specially for me. Also, we have exactly 10 minutes
to do this combination program. I am truly sorry to say that
since we started almost two years ago, we are definitely
going to run overtime. Here is the beginning of the story.
(distributes copies of “Save Amelia Bronzing Project” program
2-14-2002)
(dr G wears
jacket and holds PBS, propeller blade substitute as AE; takes off
jacket and wears one of two masks as Joey)
AE: Watch
it! You are stepping on my flower garden.
Joey: There
is a Japanese arsenal buried here.
AE:
Says who?
Joey: Sgt.
Winchester. (points at President Peggy)
AE: I have
to tell Franklin and Eleanor. hope they are in the White House
right now.
Joey:
Franklin and Eleanor? White House? Now? Who do you think you
are?
AE: I am
Amelia Earhart. Ernest Shelton sculpted me in 1971. I have been
standing on this high and very narrow pedestal since then. It
makes me dizzy. To help me keep my balance he gave me one huge,
heavy propeller blade to hold on to like this. (holds PBS like a
staff with the handle down)
Joey: Very
skinny propeller blade! No wonder your plane went down.
AE: I don’t
have the real thing in my closet. This is all I can manage to
carry to the meeting. So it is rather skinny. Say he did not
have enough materials. It came from my Electra … you know … the
plane that went swimming with me in the Pacific. Anyhow, In 1988,
he had to patch up cracks here and there.
Joey: We
all need some kind of repair when we get old.
AE: (drops
the PBS) Who’s old? Don’t answer. (kicks the PBS) By 2001, I
was ready for demolition for the public’s safety. On July 2002,
close to my 105th birthday, I was finally sent to
Decker Studios for a total body job.
Joey: I
need to go too.
AE:
Not for bronzing … that’s what they did to me. I just got
back recently. Last December 16, one day before the 100th anniversary of
man powered flight which was on 17 December 2003, I was
re-dedicated.
Joey:
No wonder you have that color. I thought you had Wilson’s
Disease or just got too sunburned
AE: It does
get hot and cold here depending on the time of day or night or
season.
Joey: Oh
you are just way over menopause. Where are we anyhow?
AE: We are
at the corner of Tujunga and Magnolia Blvd in front of the newly
restored Amelia Earhart Library in North Hollywood, California
Joey: I
thought you were born in Atchison, Kansas. How come they planted
you in California?
AE: I lived
in the area from 1928 to 1937. I attended the University of
Southern California and worked for the telephone company. After I
married George W … I mean George Putnam in 1931, we moved to
Toluca Lake. We still have a house on Valley Springs Lane. Now
who are you?
Joey: My
code name is Joey. (puts on white mask) We worked for the same
side in the same war. I scared the wits out of the Japanese
soldiers while digging for information and recording my findings.
AE: Oh my!
Did the Japs reach all the way here after I disappeared?
Joey: Not
during WWII. Toyota, Fuji and Sushi came later. I was in Manila,
Philippines. I was beautiful and younger then. I
was the toast of the city. My
husband belonged to a well respected family. Our daughter was
perfect. After the Philippines was thrown into WWII because of
Pearl Harbor, I just had to do more. I was the best spy the USA
could have had for the jobs they sent me to.
AE: You had
to wear that mask?
Joey: No,
not a mask.
AE: What
exactly did you do?
Joey: I
went into Japanese camps at night, alone, armed only with a
notebook and a pencil strapped on my body under my clothes.
(drops a pocket notebook and a pencil into the front of her
blouse. They fall to the floor) The real Joey had a better
shelf. (opens notebook, inserts a group of pages into the elastic
waist of her pants and lets other pages hang outside; inserts
pencil into the elastic band, tapes protruding end to her
camisole) Tlaaaa! That’s better. I sketched everything
I saw and shared my notes with the US Intelligence
AE: Did
anyone stop you?
Joey: Yes
but no one ever touched me. I was never detained.
AE: How did
you do that?
Joey:
With my looks! As I said, I was beautiful (pause)
once. I
don’t really know what the Japanese soldiers thought they saw when
the light flashed on me. My hair was lighter brown compared to
those of
other Filipino women. My eyes were almond shaped but huge and
must have opened wider making me look like a wild cat. My fair
skin must have turned really pale making me white as a ghost. My
skin lesions and disfigurations made me unfit to touch.
AE: How can
you possibly turn from a beauty to a scary monster?
Joey:
I have Leprosy.
AE: What?!
Joey:
Incurable, contagious, disfiguring, demeaning, disgusting
Leprosy. I have long been a ghost. I am not dead yet but might
as well be.
AE:
I’m sorry! (drops PBS
Joey: No!
Do not touch me. I do not want to contaminate you.
AE: I am
now completely sealed in bronze. No bugs and such can hurt me.
My only problem is that I cannot move to hold you. Come over and
lean on me. I am standing here alone and tired. Please give me
company.
(dr G wears
L half of jacket. Holds brown mask with L hand beside R ear;
R hand rests on L shoulder)
Joey:
Gladly! I have not been touched or touched anyone except in
deeds. When the war was over I asked to be brought to the US for
treatment, have a new identity and unknown address. My husband
died many years ago without seeing me nor I seeing him.
My daughter tried to locate me but was
unsuccessful. I read write-ups about myself a few times. I am so glad that
I have turned adversity to good use. However, the glory is gone
and I am now alone.

Amelia Earhart
Visited Casa Grande
Amelia Earhart's
Avro Avian after a ground loop in Pittsburgh, PA. (Photo of a
poster made with a picture from "The Sound of Wings")
The 1st Solo Transcontinental Flight and Back by a Woman:
August 29, 1928 to October 13, 1928.
Amelia Earhart
literally came out of the blue at about 5:30 PM on September 12,
1928 flying in an Avro Avian plane with markings G-EBUG on the
body and 7083 on the tail. She was in Tucson earlier
and had lunch in McNeal. The Casa Grande Mountain “pointed
her way”. She saw the old Casa Grande Union High
School which she mistook for a hotel and landed on a strip
of land 300 feet wide and 12000 feet long between Morrison
and Brown Avenue now the site of the Triple X Bar.
Amelia stayed overnight with Harold and Lillian Earley at 215
North Brown Avenue. That evening, Lillian Earley and first
woman mayor Fanne Gaar took Amelia for dinner at the San Carlos
Grill in the San Carlos Hotel which was on Sacaton Street.
N. Bess Prather, then a young reporter and later first president
of the Zonta Club of Casa Grande Valley and Postmaster went with
them. She wrote the Friday, September 14, 1928 article in
the Casa Grande Dispatch about “Lady Lindy’s” visit.
After dinner, Mrs. Earley and Amelia visited Mrs. Overfield.
Judge and Mrs. T.B. Overfield lived on Overfield Rd., ¼ mile
north of Selma Highway. The latter and Amelia talked about
common acquaintances in the East.
On the morning of departure on September 13, 1928, the wing of
AE”s plane was torn by a desert plant as they turned the plane
to face the correct direction. Ed Poole Sr. gave her a
handkerchief, part of which she used to patch the hole on her
plane with using her own needle and thread. She tore the
remaining portion in two and autographed each piece giving one
each to Harold Earley and Ed Poole Sr. Tip Killingsworth,
brother of a long time Zontian, Marguerite Keith saw Ed’s
portion of the handkerchief.
The official reason for the trip was to attend the Southwest
Aviation Council in LA on September 13 to 14, 1928. Even in
1991, during our research, little did anyone know that Amelia
Earhart was trying to make a record flight… “The First Solo
Transcontinental Flight and back by a Woman”. This is
often not included in her list of records. It is only the
third in the complete lists preceded only by her attaining a 14000
ft. altitude in a Long Beach. California air show n 1922 and
“The First Woman to Cross the Atlantic Ocean by Air as a
Passenger”. This roundtrip transcontinental flight was
also TH FIRST record made by AE where she actually did some flying
from one point to another herself. It IS A DOUBLE
achievement.
Dr. Carlene
Mendieta Re-enacts AE's Flight and Visit
Aboard a 1927 Avro Avian with the same markings, Dr. Carlene
Mendieta is re-enacting AE’s least known record flight. In
stead of the 13 stops we knew about in 1991, she has 23 in her
itinerary. She also planned to complete the flight in 3
weeks in stead of the 6 wks. and 3 days it took AE to do hers.
Carlene’s visit to Casa Grande was originally scheduled for
September 12, 2001 which would have been the 73rd anniversary of
AE’s original visit. It was postponed for the 13th which
would have been the perfect time to attend our monthly club
meeting. It was postponed even further by the calamity that
struck New York City on September 11, 2001 … “The day of
infamy II”. “This is what makes projects like this more
challenging.” Carlene remarked. She was more
determined than ever to complete the trip and bring attention to a
woman pioneer’s achievement in life not in death. Perhaps
too, long after this tragedy is over, w shall still remember the
attack on America because it coincided with Carlene’s
flight and rekindle patriotic feelings as well as efforts to fight
terrorism and work for peace worldwide.
Some members of the Zonta Club of Casa Grande Valley met Carlene
at 4:30 PM at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport on September 22,
2001. Club President Helen Denton gave her a dozen
yellow roses. Later we had dinner at the local Holiday
Inn. I gave her a copy of a videotape entitled “Amelia
Earhart Visited Casa Grande”. Members present autographed
hastily printed photos taken earlier before giving them to her.
The following morning, Carlene’s plane
took off much earlier than the scheduled 6:30 am departure time in
anticipation of the possible grounding of cropdusters and
similarly built planes. She was already stranded in
Hobbs Airport for a week. Another delay would change her
schedule even more. The September 11 catastrophe touched us
all. It also earned Carlene a record of her own: The
First Woman Pilot Re-enacting an Amelia Earhart Record
Flight Temporarily Delayed by the FAA due to an International
Emergency. Dr. Carlene
Mendieta's 1927 Avro Avian matches the original markings on AE's
plane ... G-EBUG on the body and 7083 on the tail. She had
the US flag hanging from the window in commemoration of the
September 2001 attacks by terrorists.
Some members of the
Zonta Club of Casa Grande Valley met Dr. Carlene Mendieta at 4:30
PM on September 22,2001 at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport.
Club President Helen Denton came with a dozen yellow roses for Dr.
Mendieta.
Faye
Don (facing camera), now in her 80's met Amelia Earhart in 1928.
She had the priveledge of autographing the bottom of the wing of
Carlene's plane.

Nostradamus Visits Zonta
by
Magdalena D. Guerrero, M.D., F.A.C.O.G./GP
http://www.egroups.com/group/wwiiiprevention
Narrator: Here we go again! For those who joined the club
recently, let me explain that Magdalena Guerrero has presented
crazy skits several times in the past. Long time members are more
or less used to this kind of event. However, let me tell you that
behind the comedy is a serious message and lesson. Do enjoy and
pay attention.
(Music plays, Zonta dances.)
Nostradamus: (Tilting bowl of water) Now what are you showing
me? (Gets a spoon, scoops water and pours it back into the bowl)
You mean who. OK! (Looks around) Zonta! Good to see you again.
Zonta: (Softens music) You know me?
Nostradamus: Of course! We met years ago.
Zonta: We did?
Nostradamus: I came as Amelia Earhart that time.
Zonta: ... and who are you this time?
Nostradamus: Nostradamus.
Zonta: (Stops music) ... and I thought that Amelia Earhart
was too old to come back that time. You are at least four times
more ancient.
Nostradamus: I can travel farther in time than most humans.
Zonta: I know. I read, talk and write about you enough that
some people are beginning to think I am nuts. If I even whisper
that I saw you, I will be in big trouble.
Nostradamus: I have been in the same boat before. That is why
I wrote my predictions in a way that is difficult to figure out
and at times with both a superficial and a deeper and more
complicated explanation .
Zonta: ... plus red herrings to throw people out of track
quite often.
Nostradamus: I had to do that or my work would have been
labelled as witchcraft.
Zonta: ... and burned.
Nostradamus: ... with me at the stake.
Zonta: Then we could have been spared the task of figuring out
this July 1999 puzzle.
Nostradamus: You would then have the misfortune of facing what
are due to happen without warning and missing the opportunity to
prevent or lessen the severity of these coming events.
Zonta: Can we really change them?
Nostradamus: Your web page says so.
Zonta: You read my web page?!?
Nostradamus: I have been following your updates closely right
here.
Zonta: (Looking around) Where is your computer?
Nostradamus: I do not need one. (Holds bowl of water up)
This is my "Show and Tell". It showed me a lot of things I did
not care to know about. A lot of them were so strange that I did
not understand them at the time.
Zonta: ... and you believed them anyhow?
Nostradamus: At first I did not. However, when things started
to happen as I saw them, I started to believe.
Zonta: You know of course that very few really know what you
have written and most of those who do do not understand them.
Nostradamus: ... and a great majority do not believe
regardless of whether or not they understand.
Zonta: Your efforts may not save us.
Nostradamus: That is why I came in person.
Zonta: This time please speak in plain English with dates that
agree with our calendar not the ancient Astrological signs..
Nostradamus: I still cannot give exact dates of some events by
any method because some occurrences are subject to changes.
Zonta: Due to what?
Nostradamus: Your efforts to change them. They may or may not
happen at all or be postponed.
Zonta: So what can you really tell me?
Nostradamus: The July 1999 prediction covers only a very brief
period in a short chapter in human history.
Zonta: It covers 27 years. That is not short.
Nostradamus: Compared to my 400 and some years in underground
storage, it is nothing.
Zonta: When do the 27 years end?
Nostradamus: After the defeat and death of AntiChrist III.
Zonta: Which is when?
Nostradamus: It depends on when you folks make it happen.
Zonta: Some help you are. At least tell me when the 27 years
of World War III started so I can figure out when to expect
relief.
Nostradamus: I do not know. I missed that. I was asleep in
my tomb till recently.
Zonta: What woke you up?
Nostradamus: An alarm clock. It said: "In the year one
thousand nine hundred ninety nine and seven months, World War III
shall be well on its way." Boy oh boy! Did I wake up.
Zonta: What took you so long to visit me?
Nostradamus: I had to read enough of your updates to figure out
if this is the real point in time for the prediction or wait till
2087.
Zonta: ... the alternate date for this prediction.
Nostradamus: Right.
Zonta: ... and you think 1999 versus 2087 is the right time
indicated by your friendly bowl?
Nostradamus: Let me consult H2O.com (Spoons water from the
bowl repeatedly.) It was so long ago and I got confused by my own
red herrings. However, it is possible.
Zonta: Why do you say that?
Nostradamus: There are enough conflicts around the world. A
little bit more can make it widespread and worldwide alliances can
make it generalized. On July 15, 1999, there was a sign in the
sky.
Zonta: "The King of Terror shall come out of the sky..."
Nostradamus: There was a conjunction between Venus and the
moon. It looked like the crescent and the star.
Zonta: The symbol of Islam!
Nostradamus: On July 16, 1999, there was an event that caught
the attention of the entire world.
Zonta: JFK Jr. fell out of the sky and died.
Nostradamus: The son of the first CATHOLIC president of the
USA died. "The kingdoms of the sea shall overcome those of the
Church."
Zonta: Muslims shall overcome Christians.
Nostradamus: "He will wake up the King of Angoulmois."
Zonta: The event revived memories of Camelot, the good old
Kennedy days.
Nostradamus: ... and the enthusiasm in space exploration. On
July 28, 1999, US Space Shuttle Columbia had a safe, manual
landing by the first woman commander after trouble with fuel leaks
in space.
Zonta: There was the long tailed comet to indicate that this is
the time.
Nostradamus: Some nuts accused it of being a destructive
monster.
Zonta: What about that red moon on January 20, 2000?
Nostradamus: I don't know.
Zonta: You said something about blood, thirst and famine when
the comet runs out.
Nostradamus: Probably. The piece of brain with that memory
was left in my tomb. I was hastily recomposed for this occasion.
However, I might have meant real bloodshed and that has increased
too.
Zonta: Then there was the total solar eclipse on August 11,
1999. A futurist said that the countries that were under its
shadow will experience great stress. Turkey, Afghanistan, India
had the biggest disasters so far.
Nostradamus: As predicted, there were earthquakes, floods,
fires, famine. There shall be more misfortunes. It is severe
famine leading to cannibalism that needs to be prevented. It is
this factor that would make leaders of affected countries
desperate enough to wage bigger wars.
Zonta: How do we prevent all these?
Nostradamus: Increase disaster preparedness and prevent
disasters to begin with!
Zonta: Sure! I just tell Mother Nature and her two children
to quit playing tricks. Right?
Nostradamus: Children?
Zonta: El Nino and La Nina.
Nostradamus: Stop ruining the earth. You must have reasonable
ecologic balance for geological powers to behave.
Zonta: Big words! Now, in simple language ... what are we
doing now to mess up our weather so much?
Nostradamus: Among many things, you are burning too much
fossil fuels and accumulating too much carbon dioxide in the
athmosphere.
Zonta: That would supposedly create a greenhouse effect.
Nostradamus: ... and global warming which in turn leads to
severe weather changes.
Zonta: We had severe storms, earthquakes and floods lately.
Nostradamus: You also had much higher casualties and economic
losses from disasters within the last few years.
Zonta: The International Red Cross and Red Crescent said so.
Nostradamus: People have not learned from previous
experiences. Crowded slums are located on or at the foot of
barren hills and get burried in mud slides. Some live on volcano
slopes or flood plains and rebuild in the same places after the
emergencies are over.
Zonta: What about the possibility of nuclear war?
Nostradamus: Again, that depends on you folks. You can have
it full blast or avoid it. Along with weapons of mass
destruction, the effects are extremely devastating and long
lasting if not permanent.
Zonta: What can individuals like myself do?
Nostradamus: Spread the word. Talk to local, national and
international leaders. Tell them to have strict international
measures to avoid the misuse of nuclear power and weapons of mass
destruction.
Zonta: Most common people will not have access to leaders at
any level. What can they do?
Nostradamus: Be at peace with the Creator Who controls all
powers of nature and the destinies of all planets. Everyone can
wish and hope for peace. Most people can pray.
Zonta: (Starts music and dances) Some can meditate and
visualize.
Nostradamus: What are you doing?
Zonta: (Turns off music) All of the above.
Nostradamus. Dance is exercise and maybe art. I do not know
about the rest.
Zonta: Dance is prayer, meditation and visualization. I shall
now dance to request the spirits of the four directions to balance
their powers for peace throughout the world.
Nostradamus: What do I do?
Zonta: (Hands him a peace pipe) Send signals to the spirits.
Nostradamus: Holy Smokes!
