W0MEN'S
TO CELEBRATE
Business Women Observe
National Week; Men
To Be Guests

Representatives of the KiwaniS
Rotary, Lions and the Realty boarc
as well as Mayor A. B. Cole, and the
city commissioners, and Judge 0. 9
Dancy and the county commission
ers are to be guests of the Business
and Professional Women's club Of
Brownsville at a banquet Thursday
evening.
The affair, which is to be held al
the FL Jardin, is the high point Of
the clubs observance of Nationa.
Business and Professional Women's
club week. Like banquets are being
held throughout the country by the
$50 clubs which are members Of thf
national federation.
Arrangements are being made BY
Misses Stella Dickson, Julia
O'Brien, and Isabel Sterling, anc
Mrs. A. G. Hipp, assisted by the en-
tertainment, program, decoration
and arrangement committees, OF
which they are chairmen. An in
formal program is being prepared
for the occasion.
Business and Professional WOm-
ems club week is being observed for
the second time this year, the first
| observation Of it having occurred
in 1928. It's primary object is to
emphasize the growing Importance
Of women in the business world, and
to call attention to the objects Of
the national organization of bust
ness and professional women.
Statistics gathered in the last Gen.
sus show that there were 8,549. 511
women employed in gainful occu-
pations in the United States, and
that of the 572 occupations listed,
these women had invaded all eX-
cept IS, or SGT. Some Of the more
unusual professions for which they
have qualified include draughtsmen,
inventors, chemists, metallurgists,
dentists, aeronautics and theatrical
producers.
For the millions of women already
in business and professions. the
| national club has as its aim the
procuring of better working condi-
tons and equality of compensation.
It's major project however, is to
improve the opportunities for girls
just entering the business world
especially by furthering education
preparatory for business and the
professions, and insuring at least
a high school education for every
business girl.
The Valley clubs, Of which the
Brownsville organization is the old
est, have been making rapid prog
reSs since their formation. and the
spread of interest is attested by the
formation Of clubs in every town
There are now eleven clubs in the
Valley. These are united in the
Valley federation and hold quarter
ly meetings in the various towns
having member clubs.
