/ We must resolve to accept our share
OF this greatest responsibility which
has been placed upon us as we
enter 1945."
Emphasizing the Importance of
education in maintaining peace,
Mrs. Karl Fenning. president of the
Washington branch, American As
sociation of University Women,
issued this statement:
I'VE must bring our system of
education into part of an inter-
national scheme which will insure
unity of spirit, the cherishing of
basic social values for all humanity
and a realization of the need for
all nations to work together to
maintain peace and justice for all.
| 1.-THE future of the world rests
with educated women and the in
f1uence they have, either in the
home or the business world. The
Washington branch supports the
purpose Of the AAUW to endeavor
to make its influence felt through
out the world SO that the ideas Of
education may be maintained at the
high standard which has animated
the organization for the past go
years"
Zonta Clubs president, Mrs Eliz-
abeth Cox, expresses the desire of
her group to carry its share of
world and community responsible
ties.
Enumerating its efforts during the
past year. including donations to
patriotic and social causes, cooper
ating with the Community War
Fund, the Council of Social Agen-
cies, War Bond and Stamp sales
and assisting in several projects for
the comfort of wounded service
men. Mrs. Cox comments: 1T
seems obvious that the needs of
the new year, particularly to our
men in uniform, will be tremen-
dously increased and the Zonta
Club can and will carry its fair
share of the added load. Plans are
already under way for sponsoring
an Ism ship and members of the
club are looking forward to assum-
ing this charge"
Quoting from Archibald Mac
Leish's Metropolitan Opera broad
cast, Mrs. Will Clayton. president
of the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club, expresses her views on
what the new year must bring to
assure peace There must be
whole new world of difference in
the peace for which our young men
are dying and any opportune peace
to which we have before agreed.
We believe that even the Prince
of Peace may become discouraged
after waiting 1000 years for man
to conquer his inertia, his fixed
opinions, his ambitions and his
greed. We shall wait for a true
peace, built on the community of
mankind in which there shall be
two-way street."
The president of the League of
Republican Women, Mrs. William
S. Culbertson, also expresses new
year wish for world peace.
MY New Years first wish is that
we may see cessation of hostilities
during the coming year and true
foundation laid for peace in our
time and that of generations to
come; one in which all nations, big
and small, shall have fair play, op-
portunity and a chance for hap
piness for their peoples.
For our league I wish keen
awareness of the important part
American women may play in shap-
ing the peace to come-not only
abroad, but here at home My hope
is that We shall go into the new
year with open minds and a de-
termination to seek the highest
possible good for our country
through our party. I wish for a
revival of interest and enthusiasm
on the part of all our members for
the important part which Repub-
lican women may take in maintain
ing our American ideals"
