NEWS NOTES JOHN S. BLACK AND SON How we wished that a hun dred Georgian women instead of a mere twelve had been able to attend the N.C.C.W. National Convention in Boston November 6th to. the 10th. We came away walking on air, inspired beyond words and that is putting it mildly. The workshop on Legislation was held on Wednesday after noon. The room was so crowded people stood along the wall. More and more the importance of un derstanding the workings of our State and Country are coming to the fore. Maybe we were prejudiced but we thought Mrs. John Correll’s paper the most interesting. At least she was the only one quoted in the Boston papers. She said that women fought long for suf- ferage but that today we frequ ently find it less tiring to sit over a bridge table than to attend a City Council meeting or a League of Women voters workshop. The over-all thought expressed by the speakers was the urging of women to vote. As we said last month, we cannot be voiceless. We must vote and vote intell igently or our cause is lost. Our new National President, Mrs. August G. Desch of Evans ton, Illinois is an attractive gray haired women. May we be permitted to quote her remarks? She outlined to the 1500 women delegates representing 8,000,000 American Catholic women her policies for the coming two years. Mrs. Desch said our organization feels that a lasting peace based on justice and charity calls for redoubled efforts during the atomic age. She said we are prepared to stand firmly behind President Eisenhower in his program of making “the atom work for peace.” While extending our efforts a- long this line, we also will work to strengthen the United Nations but not along lines suggested in some quarters of/co-existance with communism. We need only recall what happened to Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslo vakia and the spectre which over shadows Germany and France to be convinced that there can be no co-existance with com munism. She also said that our Catholic women will continue to urge the United States to champion the cause of the free nations to aid the downtrodden and the nations which are not so generously end owed by nature as our own. Mrs. Desch referred to the need for public aid in the support of our parochial schools. Our 27th National Convention, she said, has pledged our organization to try and convince our nation’s legislators .that there should be a more equitable distribution of tax which otherwise would fall upon the shoulders of taxpayers of the monies which support the schools of the nation so that the strain which amounts to double taxa tion will be removed from the God given rights of those who prefer to send their children to non-public schools. She further said that the non-public schools of the nation by their mere ex- istance and operation greatly re lieve a strain which otherwise would fall upon the shoulders of taxpayers of the nations if there were no non-public schools. Much she said should be of interest to our legislation group. It would take days to tell just the highlights of the Convention.
