Van Camp is responsible for the business of Cartwiight Township, an area of about 40,000 acres, with more than 2,000 tax payers. Most of the work she says is getting to krow people, who does what, what has happened in the past and what is likely to happen in the future. Once a month she must attend the regular meeting of. Council. "We haven't had any fireworks at Council yet and all the members are helpful and understanding. For me, it's really just a question of organizing and preparing the business." And to help herself organize and prepare the Township business, she is presently studying a Municipal = Clerk - and Treasurer course through correspondence with -.Queen's University... «...... Until recently, the positions of Clerk Treasurer have been predominantly held by men. But Miss Van Camp feels that a woman can hold any position she wants, and if she doesn't have the chance, then it's her own fault. "Women are really better suited to a job like.mine," she says with a smile." Because they are better organized, and a man would really' need a good secretary."
