Steed Speaks On
Political Careers
Airs. Davetta Steed, Executive
Secretary of the North Carolina
League of Municipalities, spoke in
assembly March IS. Mrs. Steed
spoke on polities as a career for
women.
The requirements which a woman
must fulfill in order to make- her
way in politics are, according to
Mrs. Steed, a broad general ecluca-
tion, an ability to face tomorrow,
and an ability to think.
Mrs. Steed explained the occupa
tions for women in the political
field. Some of the jobs which can
be held by women are those of civic
planners, city attorneys, welfare and
social workers, chemists in water and
sewer do])artmeuts, recreation work
ers and office secretaries. Women
may also hold most of the elective
government ]>ositions, such as may
ors or legislators.
Even if a woman does not plan
to take an active jiart in j)olitics,
she should be well informed about
the government because she will be
a voter, and intelligent, res])onsible
voters are necessary for good gov
ernment.
