W0nen's Clubs
Mrs. Leonard Reports on Experience
With Womens Clubs in Germany
By Fronees Kuhn

There are encouraging fac
tors" she declared. The fact that
there are more women than men
in Germany has increased their
economic importance as heads Of
families. More young women are
becoming interested in helping
shape the future of Germany and,
in spite Of the difficulties the
women themselves raise. they are
willing to undertake the job Of
developing a community sense.
Mrs. Leonard found that Ger
man clubwomen are primarily
concerned with community prob
lens rather than national affairs.
Day nurseries, proper housing and
central sewing rooms are among
their objectives. In working to-
ward those goals, the women are
dealing with civic officials for the
first time.
On larger scale, some women
are participating in the revision
of the German laws relating to
marriage and children's rights to
conform to the new German con-
stitution which grants equal rights
to women.
Mrs. Leonard went to Germany
as a visiting consultant in the
Civil Administration Division of
the United States Military Gov
ernment and worked closely with
the Women's Affairs Division dur
ing her tour.
She stresses the fact that
American women work only in
an advisory capacity. In no way
do they act as organizers in Ger
many"
Mrs. Leonard hasn't ended her
job. She intends to continue her
correspondence with women lead
ers h Germany and has an in
tense interest in the exchange of
peoples of the two nations for
study and consultations
She also has q fall program Of
speaking trips coming UP. She
will appear before members Of the
Voters League Of the District on
September q and 20 and later
will 60 to Massachusetts, Connec-
ticut and New York for lectures on
her experiences in Germany.

There is big difference to Ger
man women between leaders
and people who will assume re-
sponsibility," according to Mrs.
Robert F. Leonard.
The former president OF the
League of Women Voters Of the
District, who has returned from a
three-month visit with German
club women in the American zone,
attended meetings every day to
help them with techniques Of club
organization.
II discussed the need for leaders
ut one meeting" Mrs. Leonard
said, "and I Immediately noticed
q feeling of resentment" The
German women later told her they
had had enough of leaders" and
only wanted their organizations
handled by those who wanted to
do the job.
There were two basic purposes
In her trip, Mrs. Leonard said.
One was to visit the German
women who came to this country
in March to study women's par
ticipation in public affairs. From
them she learned the needs Of
German clubwomen in general.
The other was to speak before
women's groups in an effort to
interest them in participation in
community life.
Meeting with women in villages
and rural communities as well as
In larger cities. she found that
only a small percentage belong
to organized groups. There are
several reasons for this. Poor
housing conditions and the lack
Of household facilities have Gre
ated a tremendous housekeeping
problem for the German woman.
Traditions against women TAX
ing part in public activities. the
lack Of practical knowledge Of
government and the average
woman's shyness are other handi-
caps.
Mrs. Leonard presided over
three large conferences where
there was an intensive examina-
ton of the role women could
play in community work.

changing the situation. A boy who
is miserable in some trivial and
frustrating city job might expand

Age is important, too, Winifred.
Adolescents, are likely to be more
pliable than grownups. One Of
the most important questions to
ask yourself is, How rigid is
Martin? Can he change easily if
he gets a chance?" You don't tell
me his age. Obviously it makes
difference. whether he is 20 or 80.
At any age, the fellow who has
begun to use a glass crutch to get
over difficulties is doubly handi-
capped.
What you say about Martin Ger
tainly doesn't indicate that your
chances are very good. I'm not
surprised that your relatives op-
pose the marriage. II you are old
enough to run your own affairs,
