A little girl + learns the meaning of the word service long before she learns * to read the word. She helps her 'mother and younger brothers z sisters. This urge to help by the time a girl has grown a woman and marries her becomes one of dedicated rvice to husband and family. Aiton the family has become : so that mother's z to serve is no longer need; t need to serve others. **"'In talking to the six women who have been nominated to run *for office in the forthcoming municipal election on Decem- ber 7, when asked what has mo- tivated their running for public office whether it be for an al- derman, board of education or the separate school board, Each has had the same basic motive- tion, an interest in and a de- sire to serve her fellow men to the best of her ability.

UNICEF, has served as secre- tary of the Oshawa Folk Festi- val: and with the Consumers Association of Canada. All are connected with some field of education. Mrs. Stiles says her reason for running as a candidate for the Board of Education . was because four incumbent mem- bers were resigning this year and there was a need for candi- dates who. have, proven by past performance. their. ability to cope with community work and because her husband urged her to run. Mrs. Stiles, being active in community affairs, lists her in- terests as firstly, home making, sewing, knitting. The last two being part of the first. In season she finds swimming relaxing. She is taking as her theme "what do I as a voter look for in others." Her answer is -- "A person who has been proven by past performance in community efforts and work and a person who has had a broad experi- ence in that work for the whole area and not just a small part of it."" Mrs. Stiles is not inter- ested in a political career but does want to do her best to see that all Oshawa children get the best possible education. MRS. WINONA: CLARKE Ts, William A.

Mrs, Clarke, the same as other women in public office, does not believe in writing her speeches beforehand, but does prefer to state her views as the situation arises.
