London BPW Has New Project For
National Business Women's Week

al Women, along with thousands
of others women who are affiliat-
ed with this great International
organization, are this week cele-
brating National Business Wo-
mems Week, October 10 and end
ing October 16.
The London Club began the
week by sending several of its Of
ficerS and members to a confer
ence of the Fifth District of the
Ohio Federation of Business and
Professional Women, that conven-
ed in Piqua last Sunday. From the
London group attending were Mrs.
Leon H. Killing, president, Mrs. j.
L. Bopeley, first vice president;
Mrs. Ross Mills, corresponding
secretary; Miss Margaret Tracey,
past president; Miss Miriam Le-
Beau and Miss Florence Connor.
The main part of Sundays pro-
gram, was most pertinent panel
discussion, on, Business and Pro-
fesSional Women" and Their Com
munity." It was an example panel
discussion and one which planted
a seed in the minds of all at
tending for future use, was the
thought brought home by the Lon
don members.
At the afternoon session, Miss
Cecilia Healey, of Springfield, a
past president of the Ohio Fedora
ton of Business and Professional
Women, gave a summation of the
morning discussion.
For its special project for the
National Week, London Club
members are distributing an
Activity Calendar" which con-
tains names of many of the organ
iZations from the the county, list
ed on the dates of their meetings.
1t is a new venture for the club
and one on which a small group
of the membership worked dill
gently for several weeks, and came
up with something new" for the
community. Mrs. King, president,
in commenting on the excellent
calendar and the success with
which it had met in the communi-
ty, expressed a definite hope that
it will be continued and grow, in
years to come.
That, the newest of the London
clubs endeavors, was taken for its
project for this current week.
Though this paid off, in good divi-
dends the club is ever mindful of
what it considers one of the fin
est and most worthwhile efforts
it has or will undertake. 'The
Madison County Unit of the Ohio
Society for Crippled Children" +"
This unit was organized by the
London Business and Professional
Women's several years ago, is still
sponsored by the club and car
ries on a very active program in
the interest of aiding in this great
cause.
The club has yet other projects
coming up which are still in the
process of discussion, with a hope
that at least some, will come to
fruition or actual planning stage,
within a short time.
Of greatest Importance in this
ek's"Proclamation" on National,
State and Local levels, is the en-
phasis being placed on Get Out
the Vote" This says, Mrs. Killing,
the London group is hoping to as
sist with come election day -
November 2 and even from now
until then is urging all eligible to
GET TO THE POLLS.

Chicago, Ill.
Dear Mayor Kennedy:
For the past fifteen months, a
situation of recurring violence and
disregard for law and human rights
mas existed in the area of the
rrumbull Park public housing
project. This shameful situation
arose because the local housing
authority, in accordance with the
law of the State of Illinois, has
admitted to the project number
of Negro families.
have watched this situation, as
have many other citizens through
cut the country, with great con-
Germ, and with a constant hope
shat it would be resolved peaceably
and justly, by the forces of denroc-
racy within the community itself.
The Federal government contrib
utes to the support of this public
housing project as means of
assisting the community to house
decently its underprivileged people.
However, local citizen conduct and
respect for authority is a RESPONSE
bility within the community itself
Consequently, / have not consid-
cred it proper for the Federal gov
ernment to intrude or intervene,
except as "a last resort, and do not
so consider it desirable now.
Nevertheless, the unabated con-
tinuance of this riotous condition
is not only a blot on your COM
lnunity, but it is an increasing
shame and a threat to the civic
life of our country. l feel that in
the interest of all Americans, and
our self-respect, this defiant bigotry
must be ended, and ended at once
Since this is primarily the re.
sponsibility of local leadership, !

to you, as the Mayor of Chicago,
but also to the Most Rev. Bernard
