Women and civic affairs
Sir, —Councillor Garrett, far from trying to stir up trouble, is making some excellent suggestions—to use
the wisdom and experience of experts where they are greatly needed by new and inexperienced city planners. —Yours, etc., N. YOUNG. March 29, 1972.
Sir, —Before the last local body elections stories were being circulated that if Mr Pickering was elected Mayor Mrs Pickering would be unsuitable as a Mayoress because of her disability. The Mayoress has proved over the last few months that she can carry out her duties in a dignified and worth-while manner. In fact, she has been most active in encouraging women to take an interest in civic affairs as well as helping in social welfare. Perhaps it is the same people who circulated these stories before the election who are now saying that the Mayoress should not engage in such activities. What do they want? —Yours, etc., WONDERING.
March 29, 1972. [This correspondence is now closed. —Ed., “The Press.”]
