BUSINESS 'WOMEN'S WEEK | OBSERVED HERE National Business Women's Week, which is being observed through- out the United States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii and Alaska from October 10-16, has been a national institution for. several years. The first observance was held in 1928, ;when there were 874 ¢lubs and 50,000 members. The pur- pose was to rgview, .dramatize and inspire the contribution of business and professional women to the economic, social and political life of the country. Down through the years the focus has changed as the world has changed and today the Federation has about 1,700 clubs and 73,000 members. ‘The purpose of National Business Women’s Week in 1943 is to em- phasize the leadership of women in business and the professions in solving the problems of ing on the Home Front.” The ncw prob- lems of daily living resulting from the war are so confusing, so com- plex, that only trained minds and far-sighted orderly procedures cen solve them. This is the main realm in which trained women can help win the war. The National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc., is twenty-four years old, and National Business Women's Week is cclebrating its sixteenih year at the present time. Juneau's Business and professional Women’s Club;, which was organ- ized for the first time over 20 years ago, has at all times taken an active part in community and civic projects. One of the clubs outstand- ing work has been the scholarship loan fund, made available each year to a high school girl whose work has been outstanding and who is partially self-supporting. Several Igirls have taken advantage of this wellknown Ju- {loan and today through the efforts! neau jewgler. returned today by of the local club two teachers have| steamer from a short vacation and business trip to the State FRESH STOCK roof | RADIO and their teams. Good as Plotkin was, Massie was a shade better; and his victory, three games to one, was thoroughly well-earned. Each of the Skagway players was presented with a leather bill-fold as a trophy and a memento of the trip. The awards were made by Assistant Director Alida Matheson and Hostess Mary McCormack. Special credit is due to Soldier | George Schnell, Servicemen's Coun- cil member, for his skillful and sty- lish handling of the job of referee- ing the matches. Our team hopes that it soon will be invited to Skagway for a return engagement. If this materializes; we are sure that just as fine an impression will be made by our fe!- lows up there, both athletically and personally, as certainly has been the case with the Skagway players grettably only briefly—very briefly, indeed. We've always understood that in this world of ours Beauty is fleeting and that its tragic fate is definitely of the “here-today- gone-tomorrow” variety. But that is not true of Beauty on our bul- letin board—“tomorrow” has noth- ing to do with the matter.
