I enjoy membership in the Women's Canadian Club, Business and Professional Women's Club; on the Executive of the Choral Society and Franklin Park. The feeling has been growing that women should take a more active part in civic affairs and if it is your wish that I should serve in this capacity, you have only ta make the effort ta get out next Monday, Dec. 6th, and cast your ballot ta prove it. If you do not think that I can be of service. support the men you would like ta see in office f 1955 and "may the best men win".
