Girls Hold Balance of Power
Some months ago." said Mr.. George
"a few of the best girls got together and
proposed that they should have club
in their Junior Republic village. which
corresponds to the women's clubs of 9TH
er cities and towns. They called them
selves the Young Woman's Fortnigbtlv
Club and their distinct mission was to
do their part in obtaining the passage Of
the best laws possible for the Junior
Republic. and to use their influence to
elect citizens of the highest standards
to public office. Accordingly. they form |
ed the organization and they are now a |
distinct factor in Junior Republic affairs.
They have held the balance of power
and have used it SO splendidly on the
side of law and order that they have
become desperately feared by the I'M
desirable citizens"
