I took the liberty of referring Mrs. Wolf to Paul Anderson, who is the Chairman of the Parade Committee, and who, I am sure, will make satisfactory arrangements for them. However, I do want to add a word. At this time, and not just be- cause it is the anniversary of the League of Women Voters, I should like to express the thanks, the sincere gratitude of the community for the part that the League of Women Voters plays in the life of this Town. Their advice, their help, their sincere and deep interest are of inestimable value and they play a part in the governing of this community that cannot be replaced. I add, and wish to add on behalf of the community, our sincere gratitude, our congratulations, and the hope and certainity that the League of Women Voters will continue to participate in the life of our community as they have in the past and will continue to contribute so much to the betterment of life here."
