Since the Women
By Harold ]. Flecknoe
WASHINGTON. Va.


0NE YEAR AGO this month
" the residents Of this quiet
country town Of 245 persons
began to realize that some
thing that started as a joke
would affect their lives for the
next two years: They were to
be governed by a woman Mayor
and six Councilwomen.
How are the ladies doing at
this stage Of the game? Not
bad at all. For one thing. they
kept their campaign promises
a very unusual thing. indeed,
in politics.
When the men were running
the town, back in June Of last
year. every one complained
Evening star., 1951-09-23

about dogs running loose in
town, burned-out street lamps
and unsightly weeds. Some
one kiddingly suggested that
women should take over the
town government. In. no time
at all the joke became
reality: Mrs. George H. Davis.
jr., 28-year-old housewife. was
elected Mayor and six others
were picked for the Town
Council.
Most people thought we
would have sewing bee," says
Mayor Davis. mother Of three.
I'VE haven't. We've worked
hard at our jobs. Some people
say the town never looked
nicer. They didn't think 1t
was possible"
When they first took office,
the women promised to elimi-
nate the complaints that led
to the custer of the men. They
fulfilled these promises with
the aid of a secret weapon
the natural womanly instinct
of ferreting out a bargain.
I'VE had a budget of only
$1,000 for the year." says Mrs.
Davis. After deciding what
were the most important things
to do. we arranged to have
them done only on a contract
basis. And whenever we de-
cided to buy something. we
shopped around until we got
what we wanted"
The women concentrated
their efforts on making the
town attractive. They started
a cleanup campaign and the
townspeople pitched in to help
make it a success. Attractive
signs marking the two en-
frances of the town were
erected. A man was hired to
pick up trash several times a
week and arrangements were
mace to have the grass and
weeds cut before they got out
of hand. Even stray dogs CO.
operated by not visiting the
town too often.
The women are especially
proud of the playground and
tennis court gained under their
administration. Two residents
donated equipment and the use
of the land. but the women
carried the idea to completion.
