Women Voters
Not Eligible,
Says Delegate

GAS our State constitution now
reads, there are only three
people in this room who are eli
gible to vote" Blair Lee III told
more than 200 members of the
Montgomery County League of
Women Voters at their monthly
luncheon meeting a st We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Lee referred to himself and
the two other men present who
alone meet the constitutional re
quirement that voters be male,
white and over 81.
He used this illustration to
point up the need for revision of
the State constitution in order to
remove provisions which have
been superseded by more recent
legislation or which belong more
properly in statutes.
Mr.. Lee, Mrs. Margaret
Schweinhaut and Charles w.
Woodward, Jr., responded to the
leagues plea for help when Mrs.
Richard Neuberger, scheduled to
speak at the luncheon, was
forced by illness to cancel her en-.
gagement.

NC YWCA Seeks
1000 Members
By End Of Feb

February is membership month
for the YWCA of Montgomery
County. Mrs. Henry P. Chandler,
county membership chairman;
Mrs. Jerome CoWden for Bethes-
da, Mrs. r. L. Mighell for Silver
Spring, Mrs. VIM. c. Jenkins for
Kensington and Mrs. Eleanor
Smith for Norbeck, are making
a concentrated effort to interest
new people in membership in the
"Y". A goal of 1000 new mem
bers has been set.
Being an organization interest
ed in developing the individual
potentialitieS of its members, the
program its develops in the
various communities takes differ
ent forms. Each is custom-built
to the specific needs of the mem
bership in each area.
Norbeck has a YWCA commu-
nifty center. Kensington confines
its activities to a teenage pro-
gram at the Kensington fire
house, because that, the "Y" says,
fills the greatest need in a COM
munity lacking its own YWCA
quarters.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase and
Silver Spring-Takoma Park areas
each have varied programs in
GLIDING teenage, young adults,
young wives, adult education
classes, informal bridge play and
provide meeting places for some
unaffiliated community groups.
In addition to these already
established centers, there are
requests from other communities
in the county for YWCA pro-
grams. Right now, in response
to requests from the Wheaton
Kensington area, bridge classes
are being formed.
Membership in the YWCA is
open to both men and women and
ranges from a nominal minimum
membership to supporting and
sustaining memberships. The
policies and ways of working to
meet expressed community needs
are determined by the electoral
members who elect from among
their number representatives to
the board of directors.

OAR Organized
On the Eve of
Columbus Day

Founders of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
chose October IL for their or
ganization meeting Sc years
ago because it marked the eve
of Columbus discovery of
America, Mrs. Frederic A.
Groves, OAR president general,
noted today.
1T was on that night in 1892
that Christopher Columbus and
his navigators first sighted the
promise of land" Mrs. Groves
said in a OAR anniversary
statement.
The date was appropriate for
the founding of the national
society of patriotic women be-
cause the discovery of Ameri-
ca was made possible by a
woman, Queen Isabella, the
OAR president also pointed
out.
From an initial group of IS
women who met here at the
home of Mrs. Mary S. Lock-
wood. the society has grown to
its present membership of
more than $4,000,
