asked "Are the women con
tributing to their fullest capa
city?" Despite great strides of pro
Kress there is much still to be
done, she declared, and out
lined several reasons why wo
men have not attained their full
position.
Prejudice is one answer, she
said, and a second is tradition
She brought on loud laughter
when she said that when she
heard the old saying "woman's
place is in the home," her
answer is: "Man's place, too, is
in the home a real home re
quires both the man and wo
man." Intertia was a third rea
son and to overcome this women
must realize they have a re
sponsibility to do the things that
have to be done. "What are we
going to do about it? Do a good
job at what we are doing. Then
put into action those things for
which we stand," Judge Hughes
charged the federation members
She urged women to run for
public offices. What good does
it do an organization to develop
leadership if it is not going to
do something with that leader
ship when it is trained, ihe
asked the group.
