Addressing a mass meeting of the Future Fathers' League of America, Victoria College branch, David A. Harper, founder of the movement, stressed the necessity of fatherhood and forecast a great year ahead for future fathers.
Paying glowing tribute to the work of the women in this connection, the speaker announced the formation of a woman's auxiliary in connection with the league.
"Many of us do not realize this fact" he told the would-be napkin folders, "but 50 per cent of our forebears were woman!"
Brandishing a large safety pin, above his head as the emblem of the league, the young leader urged his audience to carry the ideals of future fatherhood into every corner of the globe.
Already branches of the organization have been formed at Fernie, the Victoria Normal School and U.B.C.
The meeting ended with a discussion on the possibility of establishing a paternity ward at the Jubilee hospital.
