by Commissioner of Agriculture Gill

b holding the positions as expert
i chauffeurs and aviators, they hold
their own with the gentlemen. Women
as members of a jury, women judges,
! women mayors and women in many
N other positions that a short time ago
they never dreamed Of filling, are no
/, longer curiosity.
