field, Gladys Green, and Agnes
Kayser from Chevrolet are
assisting in the arrangements.
The banquet tickets will be
$3.75 which will include the
dance. There will be many
guest speakers and a variety
of entertainment. All of the
shops are urged to send as
many delegates as their treas
ury can stand and we think
that most of the shops can
stand quite a bit. After all 1t
is the women that don't get
the advantage out of their unit
treasury as the men do. The
women do a lot of things that
if a man were to do them they
would get paid for it. So say
you women get on the ball
and see that your committee
sends many delegates.
This is for your benefit to
attend all of the sessions, but
if you can't attend all of the
sessions try to attend as many
as you can because they are
all very beneficial to the work.
ing women. If you are not
selected as a delegate you are
welcome anyway because all
members of the UAW-CIO are
welcome. We are hoping to
see a lot of new faces at this
conference. We have gone to
lot of trouble to get the type
of people to speak to you that
we are sure you will enjoy.
There will be no boredom, l
assure you because we don't
like boredom any better than
you do. So it has been our un-
firing effort to see that we
have as interesting a confer
ence as we can obtain.
We would appreciate it very
much if all of the shops would
pay the lost time for all
women in the conference COM
mittee as we'll as all of the
girls in the Local IL chorus.
The larger shops are urged to
send eight or 10 delegates.
The women do not ask too
much, or should l say most of
the women do not ask too
much of their unit. The big
gest share of the women do
everything free gratis so this
is the time to show the women
that you appreciate all of the
little things that they have
done for you in the past.
You know that the women
make the best union members
and the best campaigners that
you can find for they really
can talk many of the men into
most anything. Not only that,
if you ex-committeemen over
look the fact that the women
are of value it will soon be
that you won't be able to get
anybody to do your work.
Therefore l beg of you to heed
my warning and get behind
these women to show your
