\ MESSAGE FOR ALI. WOMEN
Two things this country needs from
its women-needs prc-cminontly while
the world Is in turmoil-sane thinking
and consecrated action. Sane thinking
means that We shall really inform
ourselves as to the issues of the day,
educational, industrial social, political.
and that we shall infuse our knowl-
edge with high idealism along the lines
of Americas great traditions. We
shall not be swept away by the con-
fused half-fcdged judgments that pre-
vail today in mary places.
Cousecratcd action means that wc
shall not rest content with mere in
formation. but shall regard our
knowledge as the preparation for dip
ping deep into constructive services
We arc club women in order that our
knowledge and our action shall be in
large groups and therefore effective.
instead OF singly and therefore incf-
fcctivc.-Alice Amcs Winter.
