THE MONTCLAIR TIMES. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1948 17 Women Voters Appeal For Aid Financial Campaign of Local League to Start Next Wednesday. Members of the League of Women Voters of Montclair who have volunteered to assist Mrs.

R. D. Herbert Jr. finance chairman of the league, in its finance campaign to begin next Wednesday, will be entertained today the home of Mrs. H.

K. Halligan, 489 Highland Avenue, Upper Montclair. At this time the workers will be briefed on the background of the league and the purpose of calling on members of the community outside the league for additional financial support. Many people know of the league's activities around election time, but several are not aware of the educational program which it carries on day by day in local communities throughout the country. The purpose of the League of Women Voters is to atrengthen democracy by helping all citizens, men as well as women, to understand and participate in their government.

It is non-partisan. It never supports or opposes candidates for office but its members are encouraged to take an active part in the political parties of their choice. 1 No officer, however, may hold a promiment position unless she first resigns from her league job. There are 46 local Leagues of Women Voters in New Jersey with a membership of over 5,000. They are represented at the State level by a board chosen by members of the local leagues and at the national level by a board chosen by representatives of the 627 local leagues all over the United States.

The whole foundation and strength of the League of Women Voters is in the local community. Members first of all study their local governments and publish their findings in such forms as "Know Your Town." Three thousand copies of this particular pamphlet were distributed in Montclair to schools, by request, businessmen, town officials and citizens in general. Facts concerning local government issues are presented to the citizens through newspapers, discussion groups, broadsides and speeches before service clubs, chainbers of commerce, women's clubs and church groups. Non-partisan information on elections is provided through voters' service sheets such as the one recently distributed in Montclair. It should now be well known that on the State level the League of Women Voters brought together the State Constitution.

This group befirst citizens group to work for a new came the committee for a Constitutional Convention, the forerunner of the "Committee for Constitutional Revision." That committee functioned for its first eight months from the League of Women Voters office. General information on State govemment is circulated through a News Letter," published each week during the legislative session. League sponsored statewide weekly radio programs over Station WNJR and stations in four other cities have featured sixteen members of the Legislature. The "Citizen's Date Book" includes a directory of government officials, how and where to address them and basic information on registration. Thousands of copies have been distributed all over the State.

After, careful study, facts about State issues of major importance are disseminated through the local leagues to their communities. On the national level the League of Women Voters works to spread understanding of a number of issues which the local members have agreed are of prime concern to all citizens. The national office publishes carefully checked background material for the use of local leagues in studying an issue. A bi-weekly Washington news letter, keeps members and friends informed of latest developments which may or may not have appeared in the newspapers. All these activities add up to a big Job of public education, done on A very small budget.

It is possible only because the work is done entirely by volunteers with the exception of clerical workers and members of the national staff who help with organization and research work.
