Started in Lean Welfare League Is Still Serving .|:s2r of csi for uch The Women's Welfare League was organized in 1929 for the punpose of assisting needy fam- ilies during the depression years. The members arranged to fi- nance themselves by a member- ship fee of $1.00 per year, and each member paid 50 cents at every meeting. One chapter made layettes, another collect- ed and repaired clothing, an- other concentrated on children's clothing, and another group visited and investigated needy cases. Thus the League grew. Mr. A. R. Alloway: placed the top floor of the old Times Build- ing (now Oshawa Times) at the disposal of the League for head. quarters for storage and dis- tribution of clothing, ete. Friends were canvassed for food, clothing and money. Local merchants co-operated in many ways. In 1930 it. was necessary to amalgamate ail welfare agen- cies in the City. The City took over the major vart of welfare services, which left the League time for other: projects, in work with boys and girls. As the years passed the work grew. The necessary funds came from donations and from the Associated Welfare Societies An- nual Campaign, the forerunner of our present Community Chest. In 1935 the late Charles Rob- son donated his former resi- dence to the League to-be oper- ated as a Settlement House: Ir. the same year the Lague be- 4 .fand often through no fauk of Depression Days) itet:'own, require hetp..

At the present| time it consists of some thirty- two members, with Mrs. Sydney Bateson-in the office of chair- man, Mrs. Bryce Ward secre-} tary, and Mrs. Margaret Ham-| mond treasurer. The Voice of Women alls upon the women of Canada to protest against war and_ the threat of war as a means of solving world problems; on the women of Canada to. give lead- ership to the women of the world. in such a protest. Voice of Women believes that by work- ing through women's commor interests and their _ instinctive concern for their children and the human family, VOW can as- sist in the creation of a climate of understanding and = irust which will enable world powers to resolve their differences with- out war or the threat of war. In accordance with these prin- ciples the Oshawa group gave assistance and support to the Canadian Peace Research Insti- tute in its drive for funds. Our group was also able to com tribute a sum of money towards the Conference of Women on In- ternational Co-operation Year which met in Montreal in Sep- tember, Mrs. Gordon Conant as VOW national council member attended the closed sessions, and both Mrs. Conant and Mrs. Bateson were present at the sec- tional meetings, plenary and an- nual meetings. There were rep- resentatives from seventeen countries at this conference, and resolutions were drafted cum cerning International Co-opera- tion Year. An international com mittee was formed with Mrs. Helen Tucker as _ chairman, which will work with women's organizations throughout the world, and present their views on peace to the United Nations.
