Changes are in progress. new stand
ards are being established, and the
effect of the vote Is being felt. To
get the benefit of these changes, a
woman needs to know what is being
dorfe in her special neighborho0d and
by her group Of workers. There is no
better way of doing this than by join
ing q club, especially club affiliated
with the Federation Of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
It is not only the direct contact
with other women working in your
own field that benefits you in such
a club, but the contact with women
in other branches. With that comes a
widening Of opportunity. The woman
not happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club &C
