B&PW Club Encourages Women To Assume Place in Public Life In November 1942, the Busi- ness and Professional Women's Club of Oshawa received its charter,. thus joining a vast group of gainfully employed women whose aim is to encour- age women to accept responsi- bility on the job and in the com- munity and to safeguard their civil and economic rights. Since the first Business and Professional Women's Club was organized in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1919 after World War I, mem- bership has reached 325,000 in twenty-four countries of the world. : Canada joined the Interna- tional Federation in 1930. Mem- bership in any one club is an open sesame to the privileges of any Business and Professional Club in any place or country in| the world and the fine spirit in! which members from all coun- tries fraternize is a lesson in international relations. The Charter President of the | Mary | Oshawa club was Mrs. Nobes, who was followed by Miss V. Lidkea, Mrs. H. P. Bull, Mrs. Mary Telford, Dr. Thelma Blair, Miss Jennie Pringle, Mrs. Dorothy Grossart, Miss Audrey Lawlor, Miss Rose Hawkes, Miss Evelyn Moore, Mrs. Eileen Wilson and Miss Gladys Hill, Members meet once a month at Adelaide House to hear guest speakers and re- port on the various activities in which they are interested. To encourage better scholastic standing, scholarships are a- warded annually to certain out- standing students in the three Oshawa Collegiates, the two in Whitby and the Oshawa General Hospital. Christmas cheer is provided for several elderly wo- men. Over the years the Club has raised funds for a variety of other projects, securing books for the YWCA library, provid- ing an electric clothes dryer for one of the units of the city's low rental housing projects, as- sisting the local hospital, send- ing parcels for Hungarian relief and helping to further the work of the United Nations and its many divisions such as UNI- CEF, UNESCO and World Ref- ugees, and many others. The Annual Bridge each year, «the first Monday in October, has helped provide funds for these projects. This year, in addition to giving the usual scholarships, gift cupons will be sent to Gha- na, Africa; in conjunction with other Business and Professional Clubs across Canada. Each year the Oshawa Club is well represented at the United Nations' Seminar sponsored by the Business and Professional Clubs of Ontario and usually held at the United Nations in New York. The last two Semin- ars were held ix Toronto and largely attended. Officers for the year 1961-1962 are: President, Miss Gladys Hill; first vice-president, Miss Louise Poole; second vice-presi- dent, Miss Beryl Bassingthwaite; recording secretary, Miss Emily Scott: corresponding secretary, Miss Audrey Lawler; treasurer, Mrs. Lila Wilson. At a meeting of the Board of the Canadian Federation in Ot- tawa in July a comprehensive and exciting program for the coming year which should have wide-reaching benefits for all members and for employed wo- men in all paris of Canada was drawn up. Among the many plans adopted were the follow- ing: "Career preview" pro- grams for high school girls, a study of inheritance laws as they affect Canadian women., studies of the implementation of equal pay laws and pension benefits, adoption of 'another UNESCO Gift Coupon plan and continuation of minimum wage | and equal pay projects. The} Oshawa Club, along with all) other Canadian clubs, looks for-| ward to assisting in carrying! out this program in the coming | year.

Our first fund raising project was a Bake Sale held in a down. town bowling alley in April, which was very successful. When our portable church opened in October we had made enough monev to provide the drapes for all the windows of the church. The ladies of the guild all donated place settings of dinnerware, thus a start was made to equin the kitchen. Once that was done we were able to cater to various dinners. Our main objective in raising money is to help pay off the mortgage, once that is done our perman- ent church will be erected.
