More Countries Give
Women Equdl Rights
U.N. Survey Shows

UNITED NATIONS, N. v
Fifty-seven countries n 0 w
give their women equal vot-
ing rights with men, according
to a recent report by U.N. Sc
General Trygve Lie.
This represents an increase of
one over last year, the latest
additions being Greece, which
last year passed a law grant
ing full political rights to
women.
Another step of progress
was registered in Pakistan,
which adopted legislation guar
anteeing the full participation
of women in provincial cleo
tions, the report says.
On the debit side of the led
ger, however, the list of coun-
tries where women have no
political rights at all has also
increased by one. The newly
created state of Libya, under
its electoral law of 1851, does
not grant women the right to
vote or to be elected to office.
The other fifteen countries on
this list are Afghanistan, Co

The Shut-Ins

Do we stop to think Of the mill
lions of post cards and letters COM
ing through the mail from friends
on all occasions-the great JOY they
bring to all, and especially to the
shut-ins.
A card from a friend we have
not seen perhaps for years; we
thought they had forgotten us,
those boys and girls of our young
crowd, when we were in our teens
We are carried back many years
in dreaming of the associations to-
gcther. They arc precious to re-
member today.
Many are happy in their homes
with their children about them,
some with perpleXities and
troubles, but with joyful reason
ing concerning all ills in life. Our
memory goes on back to all these
friends and we live over our lives
making us forget the pains and
aches as We lay on our beds or sit
in our chairs, knowing it's only
for a time.
So we thank them more than
they can never appreciate, and love
them for the cards and notes re-
ccived at Christmas, Easter or
birthday time. They bring such JOY
to the shut-ins. May Gods bless
ing come to those who send cards
to shut-ins.
