Gently by the Women's Division OF

tee, Delaware ranks high among
the states appointing women to
key positions in state government
Results of this impartial sur

the nation, towards an increase in
the number of women holding ap-
pointive governmental positions.
While the survey does not at
tempt to list all women office
holders or to cover every scope OF
women's work in state government
it does indicate the character OF
work being administered by wo-
men officials and the greater re-
Sponsibilities and opportunities be-
ing extended to them. The survey
does not cover women holding
elective offices or those serving on
committees or commissions by vir-
tue of an elective position.
Some seventy Delaware women
are listed in the survey as serving
in key appointive positions in
state offices and agencies or as
members of important committee
