JOHANNESBURG WOMEN
SOCIAL REFORM SOUGHT Many social reforms are to be sought this year by the Johannesburg National Council of Women, which, at its annual meeting held recently, outlined its programme for the coming year. The council will press for an adequate housing scheme, better school accommodation with medical inspection and service, equal guardianship of children, amendments to the Women's Protection Act, nationality rights of married women, changes in the law of succession, control by married women of their own earnings, opening of the higher branches of the public service to women, local option in liquor licences, and support for world peace movements.
