Dr. Margaret Burns gave a brief, but interesting talk on the virtue of courage. Miss Stewart followed with an inspiring talk on the subject of Women in This Mans World of 1933. She emphasized the fact that the future holds a brilliant promise for women in business, and that the law of success does not recognize sex. She made a plea for closer cooperation between men and women in business and community life. Success is not just luck but depends on three things: Straight thinking, hard work and health. Women have reached a time when they must think. Just as the body is kept healthy by exercise so the mind is kept healthy by thought. Miracles do not happen for women experience is one of the most basic factors for success. Miss Stewart also explained the status of married women in business and what prominent women are accomplishing in this economic crisis. Mrs. Florence Gardner entertained with vocal numbers accompanied by Mrs. Margaret Johnson, both of Bear River City. Miss Rula Sackett and Marie Thorne rendered piano and the banjo selections throughout course of the evening. Dr. Burns announced that the Ogden club is giving their annual banquet for Business Womens Week, Monday, March 13th, at the Hotel Ben Lomond, and extended an invitation to the Brigham club to attend.
