[[underlined]]The National Council of Negro Women[[//underlined]] had a meeting Sunday and [[underlined]]decided to announce to the public that they have opened their headquarters [[//underlined]]at 1914 Fillmore, and invite the public in to get some pointers as how to vote in this coming election.[[underlined]] This service, which is non-partisan, comes under the newly organized Political Education program. They are not interested in who you vote for, but they want to be sure you know all the facts of each party. Be sure to drop by and get one of the small booklets on the Constitution and other interesting facts about our government for a small fee. [[written at the end of the clipping, SEPT, 27, 1956]]
