How. long have women been per- 1 mitted to, vote in the U.S.A.? The question is especially sig nificant this year to the Chapel Hill League of V/omen Voters and hundreds of other League group.? throughout the country who are observing the 35th anniversary of the founding of the organiza tion. For the League came into being in 1920 simultaneously with passage of a constitutional amend ment granting women the univer sal right to cast a ballot. Mrs. Richmond Bond, president of the Chapel Hill League, points out. When passage of the amendment was assured, after a 70-year strug gle over several generations to achieve it, women faced a prob lem. They realized they needed to learn a great deal about the struc ture and working of government at the national, state and local levels, Mrs. Bond commented. They also had to learn the simple mechanics of registering and vot ing in their own precincts. Work done by the Chapel Hill League during the past year un der the leadership of Mrs. N. J. Demerath indicates how the League functions at the local level. The record shows the fol lowing operations among the group’s many activities: A meet wedding of simplicity and was in the living room the altar was formed with ground of palms and floor i of large white mums with abra holding white tapers.!
