20 Part Friday, August 24, Coo AtiQcles (Times APPROVED: A Lady of Mettle generates such tremendous excitement. She has an engaging personality, one of those what-you-see-ls-what-you-get people. She's bright, quick, she has it all. 1 only hope they don't sanitize her. "She is in my opinion, and the opinion of our group, the only thing the Democrats have got going for them at a national level" and should be the centerpiece of a Plee see METTLE, Page 21 should have pointed out to the electorate that "anybody who pays 40 of their income is not exactly trying to avoid taxation" and that it is President Reagan and the Republicans who have created tax "loopholes" that benefit big corporations but are "extremely unfair" to the lower and middle classes.

She still sees Ferraro as a big asset to the ticket, "the only fresh face on the political scene. She Continued From Page 8 active in the Democratic Party, who were discontent with the ongoing policy of men picking the candidates and the issues. It supports candidates and issues of its choice and it supports Mondale-Ferraro. But Marilyn Kizziah, the coordi- nator, said she thinks "the Democratic Party, unfortunately, has handled this affair badly. It seems to me they have done nothing to help Geraldine Ferraro.

She was sort of stuck out there on a limb. They just let her slowly turn in the wind." Kizziah said the Democrats Silverwoods new Corporate woman Shop means business.

Meuli, trained in chemistry and zoology, got into the campaign T-shirt and button business after joining NOW in the 1960s. She joined NOW after being told that she couldn't get into medical school because was was too old 27 at the time and because she was a woman. Supplies Items to NOW As an outgrowth of artistic hobbies, she designed various political symbols, including a familiar women's equality symbol using the sign for female with an "equals" mark inside the circle. With her business partner Toni Carabillo, editor of the National NOW Times newspaper, Meuli had a contract with NOW to supply many of its items, including T-shirts with the text of the equal rights amendment. They sold about $1 million of those in the last year of the unsuccessful ERA ratification drive.

They also published a feminist calendar a decade ago, but Carabillo says they were probably too far ahead of their time on that one. Meuli's timing was right on the Ferraro T-shirts, though. "When Ferraro's selection first became known, we all talked about it. You know how everybpdy says, 'Isn't it but nobody will say, 'What do we do about So I thought, 'What do I know T-shirts and buttons. "I called my supplier on a Thursday afternoon.

He stayed late Friday night and printed them up. They got to San Francisco Saturday night. We sold out by Tuesday." While Meuli is "not a nonprofit," she says she gives women's organizations the best prices because she feels so strongly about the need to raise money to help women become politically involved, get out to vote and be elected. Judith Meuli has literally sold the shirt off her back on occasion to raise money for women's political activities. It was the last day of the Democratic convention in San Francisco last month, and the shirt in question was an emerald green T-shirt with "Mondale-Ferraro '84" in bold white letters across the front.

Meuli, a longtime Los Angeles member of the National Organization for Women, had sold all 30 dozen Mondale-Ferraro T-shirts she'd had made up virtually overnight for the convention. But "there was a woman who said she couldn't be in the front row of the Georgia delegation that night when Geraldine Ferraro was nominated as the first woman vice presidential candidate without one of those shirts. So I sold her the one I had on." In San Francisco, no one notices such things, but, for the record, Meuli had another shirt on under the T-shirt, so dignity was preserved. New Order Placed In the intervening weeks, Meuli has ordered a new batch of T-shirts and buttons and will be back in action at Saturday's Equality Walk in Griffith Park, sponsored by the Los Angeles NOW chapter. Registration for the walk, part of fund-raising efforts to help increase the turnout of women voters, starts at 9 a.m.

The walk begins at 10 a.m., and a rally near the park merry-go-round starts at noon. The rally keynoter will be former national NOW President Eleanor Smeal. Officeholders scheduled to participate include Los Angeles City Council President Pat Russell, state Sen. Diane Watson, and state Assembly members Gray Davis, Tom Hayden and Gloria Molina, all Los Angeles -area Democrats. The event commemorates the anniversary of ratification of the women's suffrage amendment.
