League of Women Voters
To Open Finance Campaign
Medford League of Women Voters will hold it annual
finance drive Tuesday, May 27, according to Mrs. John S.
Day, finance chairman. About 20 League members will call
6n a select list of donors Tuesday morning seeking $500 to
help cover the groups annual budget.
League members' dues and
contributions are expected to
meet half the year's expenses,
Mrs. Day said.
The League, which grew
out of women's right to vote,
provides access to material on
both sides of ballot measures
and on candidates' views.
Men, as well as women, have
found it a valid source of in
formation on governmental
policies and actions.
With no earnest, non-partisan
organization available to
men in the community, the
League seeks financial help
from local men and non-member
women interested in the
non-partisan study of govern
ment. "The League has won na
tional respect for being non
partisan and is genuinely ac
tive in working for intelligent
voting," it was said.
One of the outstanding pro
grams of the Medford group
this year was the "Meet Your
