MRS. W.A.
Griesbach Hostess to Nearly 100 Tuesday evening
At a keenly
enthusiastic meeting at the house of Mrs. W.A. Griesbach on Tuesday evening the
Canadian First Club of young women. Conservatives was formed. This gathering of
nearly a hundred young Conservatives will be followed by an open meeting on
next Tuesday evening in a down town hall. Mrs. Griesbach convener of the club
was a charming hostess and the meeting was in the nature of a large round table
gathering with the girls present eagerly taking part in the live discussion
that followed Mrs. T.D. FitzSimon’s brief Address.
As
president of the senior club, Mrs. FitzSimon extended their congratulations,
and spoke in an interesting manner of the history of responsible government,
the effect of tariff in building up industries, and answered conclusively, “Why
are we Conservative?” She explained the present unemployment situation, for
which she held the present government responsible.
To Meet on
Tuesday
Among the
girls who spoke following her address were Mrs. Victor Johnson, chairman of the
working committee of the club, and Miss. Dorothy Smith, who explained that it
was possible to defeat what appeared to be the strongest candidates, giving
examples. She also reminded the meeting that a large number of the 14,000 new
voters on the voter’s list in West Edmonton would be young people.
General
approbation met the choice of the club name, as expressing in every way the
principles of the club.
It was
decided that the “Canada First Club” would meet on Tuesday evenings and that,
with organization in the small group effected, a large open meeting with
speakers would be arranged for next Tuesday evening.
Tentative
plans for a dance and social evening to be held jointly with the young men’s
