Description
This is a newsclipping from the Hilltown News (precursor to the Country Journal?), 1964, stating: "Worthington has first women serving on Town Finance Board - Mrs. Raymond H. Sears and Mrs. Richard B. Smith, newly appointed members of the Finance Board in Worthington, seem to be stirring up something. Whether discussing their children, or the affairs of the town, either will come in for proper consideration." This is an article by Lois Ashe Brown. Moderator Ralph A. Moran said "even women will be welcome!" "For the most part the office is advisory and carries with it a degree of prestige. Members serve without pay. Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sears have had considerable experience with figures and both are respected for their ability at record keeping. Both women have held offices in town and county organizations. And have assisted their husbands in their respective businesses. Newsprint of Nancy, Scott, Beverly Smith at various times. See also newsprint photo of Nancy Smith in "Brown" Folder.
