Care IN Voting,
ZOnta Club Told
By Gretchen Smith.

That women will vote on the In
telligence and integrity OF candy
dates as basis Of qualification In
the forthcoming elections was the
opinion expressed by Representative
Winifred Stanley. Republican, OF
New York, at luncheon meeting OF
the Zonta Club yesterday at the
YWCA.
Chic In a gray tailored suit to
which small feathered callot lent
a distinctly feminine touch, the New
York Representative, a member OF
the Buffalo Zonta Club, voiced in
dignation at recent remark that
women would vote on the looks of a
candidate"
Miss Stanley asserted that women
In public life frequently are mis-
quoted in order to make stories more
sensational. when people read
about them, they rightly remark,
Why didn't she say something in
telligent?'" she commented.
Women Get Opportunity.
The war has given women oppor-
tunity to prove their abilities in
many fields, the speaker continued.
and the services rendered by women
In uniform are bound to receive
recognition equal to the mems after
the war.
The tides of opportunity won't
recede after this war as they did
in the last" she predicted, "and the
population will not be able to ignore
the necessity of women working
Many women will wish to continue
in work while others will be forced
to remain in their jobs because of
war casualties"
Whatever the postwar labor situa-
ton may be, Miss Stanley expressed
faith in the part women will play.
Women Called Unselfish.
Women are not selfish" she COM
mented, "and I believe the majority
Iof them are thinking in terms of i'm
lprovement of our common lot.''
Representative Stanley said she
believed the Nation will solve the
postwar job situation adequately TO,
both men and women.
If the country, Nation of peace
| full industries, could become ar
arsenal of war in such short time
surely we can keep it from the chaos
which could come at the end OF
hostilities and bring about a period
of reconstruction" she declared. 81

tunity to utilize the talents and in
