business Today women are assuming the responsibilities of policymaking positions in many fields of en deavor and receiving recognition for their great contribution to our modern business and indust rial life The Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Wo mans Clubs in its clubs from coast to coast considers serious ly at all times the problem of improving the status of women To highlight the aims and ideals of our organization and to focus public opinion on our endeavors each year our clubs celebrate Business Womens Week This year Business Womens Week is from September to

awareness that women must enter employ ment and remain in it if business industry production and pur chasing power are to remain at present levels and that unfair and unrealistic disabilities in wage rates salary scales career opportunities employment bene fits retirement conditions of age or pay and income tax provisions discourage them from doing so Our clubs promote the econ omic interests of working women and encourage the individual to develop and apply her talents We celebrate Business Womens Week September to during which period we invite you to join with us and our fellow-mom- of the
