This week frmr Sunday, Oc- tober Sth to Saturday, October lith the 7,00 members of the Canadian Fedematien of Busi- ness and Professional Womnen's C lubs will celebrate their an- nual "Business Womnen's Week", with the objective of drawinig attention te the achievemnents of business and professional wemen. More than 3,500 wemen in 75 clubs in Ontario are nwombers cf the B. & P. They are alert intelligent people, interested in the progmess cf wonmen in busi- ness, the professions and pub- lic life. They are wihing te work long, heurs at their own werk and te serve, their cern- munities. Bowmanville Club The Bowmanville Business and Professional Women's Club has 49 members. Madlyn Wil- ccx is the president: Veima Gay, the past president; Ruby Ga-vcck. lst vice-president; Helen Nelies, 2nd vice-presi- dent; Audrey Richards, record- în.c s.cretary; Doris Rickaby, corresponding secretary; Mary Gilh. treasurer. pianist, Mvrtle Hall; znd Marjorie Couch Bul- leti editor.

Womcn a- e apprexiimately one half cf that total, it bhas been pointed eut. Business Women's Week is a time when ail the B. and P. Clubs in the country have the opportunity te bring te the at- tention cf the. public the con- tribution whiich women are making te the growth and de- velopment cf Canada. They Sundav evening callers of Mr. and Mrs. R. Cameron. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Johnson and familv were Su 'nday visit- ors wîth Mr. and Mrs.Ra Bradburn, Burketon. Athel Sterling and Diane, Scarborough, were Sunday vis-1 itors ai Mr. and Mrs. MalcLag- gan. Mr. and Mrs. E. Penwarden and Anne and Mrs. L. Penwar- den were Saturday supper guests at Mr. and Mrs. Gordon IFletcher, Pontypeol, and also spent the evening with them. Sorry to hear of the car acçi- dent which Mrs. D. Davey, Kay, Joyce and Linda were in. We welcome our new teacher, Miss Kocins, to our commun- ity. point out that' an organization such as the Business and Pro- fessional Women's Clubs, beingz international in scope, can bring about wider understanding among women of the problems they are facing ahl over the werld, and the means being tak- en te selve these problems. A Vital Part Today 25 percent of the gain- fuiiy empioyed people in Can- ada are wemen, and they are recognized as a vital part of the womking force, especiaily .:- cierical occupations and. service industries. Manufacturing andi professienal occupations - follow in numerical importance. Growing numbers of wemen are estabiishing themselves in the professions that used te be exclusively man's. The number of women physicians, surgeens, lawyers, chemists, joumnaiists and metallurgists is growing. Women are successfui as labor- atory technicians, biochemists, biologists, ançi in statistical and analytical womk. An incmeasingl number are beceming actuaries. Some have become electrica,I and mechanicai engineers. sur- veyors, veterinarians, and den- tal mechanies. More Power With Women 'Power Officiais of the Business and Professional Womnens' Clubà have stated that the theme "More Power With Women Power" was chosen to point up the fact that flot only "the pow- ers that- be" need to recognize the largely untapped reservoir of power there is in the female population, but Canadian wom- en themselves need 4o have con- fidence in theirwn abilities, and 'the coto develoD them through use. j , .
