HOPES OF ALL WORKERS
ARE FULLY REALIZED
In view of the fact that most the
registrars hoped for was 40 per cent
Of the estimated number of house
holders in the city, which was 10000.
the results showing that more than
IS per cent registered is regarded as
amazing. The total Of 1884 white
housewives who were registered in the
woman's committee certainly proves
that II the registration was worth
doing at all, 1t was worth doing we'll,
and was done we'll
Mrs. John c. Robertson, captain OF
Madison Ward. Southside, wishes to
thank her workers for their earnest
ness and efficiency in carrying out her
plans for the details of registration
on the South Side.
In statement issued last night, Mrs.
j. Allison Hodges. chairman OF the
woman's committee. said:
when ] consider the immense in
dividual and concerted effort OF the
more than 1000 women who have made
our campaign so successful, and all
accomplished in approximately five
hours. I do not know how to thank
them adequately.
mo such effective teamwork has
ever before been accomplished here
by the women. and II promises much
for similar civic efforts in the future.
In fact ] am tremendously proud Of
our workers. and l thank them for the
committee
especially to Clyde W. Saunders who
has SO efficiently and Enthusiastically
aided the committee in its work of
registration. and also TO J. l.. Hill for
his valuable assistance. am also
under oblig atTons to the press of the
Guy lot the winch II gave 10
the movement from Its inception. and
for the loan OF the nifty automobiles
which so erectually aided us in e1-
pediting the work OF registration in
outlying districts.
Since the registration formally
closed more than 100 cards have come
in. and are still coming in, or being
phoned in to me at lo7 East Franklin
and ] hope that any housewives who
were by any chance missed in the can
vassing will be interested enough TO
phone me, SO that their names may
yet be included in the registration.
The number already sent in since the
count was officially closed brings the
number UP TO 1900
Tt has afforded me the greatest
pleasure TO note tho effective and har-
monious way in which the registration
was effected. and the wonderful cf-
fciency shown by the workers In this
campaign which is hound to be far
reaching IN i's effect on the future
activities of the women Of the CITY"
