AvA food inspector, the only woman in
Michigan, if not in the United States, to be
accorded the honor. She is also chairman of
the home economics department of the City
Federation of Clubs, secretary of the animal
welfare committee of the Twentieth Century
Club, the largest and most progressive club
in the city, and president and State chairman
of the Housewives League.
1t was while serving her first term as
president of the league that Mrs. Dunk dis
played the Napoleonic courage and never
failing optimism that have made her more
than locally noted. Owing to the detection
of a few, who turned the name of the league
into covering for their own purposes, the
league as whole was made to bear load
of unjust calumny. So heavy, indeed, was
the load that not few made the prophecy
that the league was doomed to die an un-
honored death. Mrs. Dunk, however, re-
fused to listen to the croakings of despair.
Resolutely she rallied the scattered forces of
the league, reorganized them on solid bust
ness basis, and today has the satisfaction
of knowing that, while she takes needed
rest, every detail of the leagues business is
left in competent hands, and is building up
comprehensive and efficient organization
of housewifery in Detroit and several of the
larger cities of Michigan.
