ended in 1947 when Miss Morgan was 75 and Hearst was 84. This cooperative association resulted in the magnificence and opulance that is Hearst’s San Simeon estate Their working friendship is very well described in Sara Boutelle’s first biography of Julia Morgan, sche duled for publication in June by the Abbeville Press. William Randolph-Hearst’s enormous wealth allowed him to gather a superb collection of art which he wanted to display in a setting worthy of the masterpieces. For this project he chose the hilltops of the Santa Lucia Mountains, 250 miles south of San Francisco, overlook ing the Pacific. To design and build the estate, Hearst contracted Julia Morgan. Through the years of their mutual cooperation, collaboration and friendhsip, both of these dynamic individuals were able to fulfill their fanciful dreams. Hearst funded a castle compound which in its extravagance and opulance reflects his fancies of himself as an “American prince.” For architect Julia Morgan, the project allowed the unleashing of her crea tive ability, tempered with her Beaux-Arts training. Julia Morgan is considered to have been one of the most accomplished of California’s pioneering profes sional women, yet little is known about her private life, since she was a most reticent individual. She was rarely photographed and almost never interviewed. According to her biographer, Miss Morgan ran her San Francisco office alone. Before her death in 1957 at the age of 85, she ordered all her blueprints destroyed. There is a revival of appreciation of Julia Morgan — architect — and her contribution to the history of Cali fornia. An exhibit of her archives will be on display at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. A permanent exhibit on the creation of San Simeon will be housed in the estate’s visitor center. (N. Y. Times 4/27/88) The National Council of Women of the United States is the oldest non-sectarian women’s voluntary organiza tion in America. It is non-partisan and non-profit. Its membership is made up of independent organizations as well as individuals who support the aims, goals and programs of the NCW/US. The NCW/US works to educate and to promote the participation and advancement of women in all spheres of society — social, economic and government. The organization works as a forum to present all sides of an issue before women, so that their decisions may be made with as much knowledge and understanding as possible. Developing leaders and preparing women for an active role in the mainstream of community, business, in the professions and in government, and as participants at decision making levels is all part of the NCW/US scope of activities. To achieve this, the Council partici pates on a consultative basis with many local, state, national and international committees and organizations, both public and private. NCW/US is a charter member of the United Nations Non-Governmental Organizations (1945). NCW/US prides itself that it is not a single issue organization but represents the diverse views of its membership, tempered by the experience of its long his tory. Today, the Council speaks for some eighteen mil lion men and women that make up its ranks. The Ukrainian National Women’s League of Amer ica has been a member of NCW since 1952.
