PROSPECTS FORECAST By PEG STEWART Here we go, into another year, and from here it looks like an important and exciting one. The partnership of the two Labor congresses swings into action this year—a working partnership, like a marriage. So what about all the in-laws? You're going to be sisters-in- law, you women who belong to union auxiliaries—and the ones who don’t, too. I don’t suppose everybody’s going to get all chummy right away, but I do think there may be some visiting back and forth, and have you thought at all about the state of your organization? If people come calling, will they find your auxiliary in order? Not a noble thought I grant you, but it may help you to bring in some people who are not as high-minded as you are. Good Definitions T’'ve been looking up the word “auxiliary” in the dictionary. It means “helper”; it means extra strength; in the navy, it means “a vessel designed for other than combat purposes, as 2 supply ship, ete.” Well—they’re pretty good definitions for a union aux- iliary, too. What it doesn’t mean is a loose cluster of uninterested females dragged out-to tiresome meetings, and pressured into pro- mising things they’re not going to do. You're not’ ever going to be bosom friends with all the wives of all the men in your local— just as the men are not all pals. But like them, you have one thing in common—the welfare of the union that is the backbone of their jobs. So you should be able to get together to provide that added strength. Business Meetings How about the business part of your meetings? Brisk? Hmm? Business has to be looked after, but it can kill a meeting so dead that nothing can bring it back. Let your executive deal with the bulk of the business; expect them - to bring in, concise reports and motions. If there’s something im- portant that has to be decided, say so in the preliminary notices —give the members time to think about it, to come with opinions. Otherwise, you have the chair- man sitting there with a pained smile, trying to pry a motion out of the meeting; and the members paralysed, confronted with some- thing they haven’t thought about, asked to make a decision. Later, they’ll be annoyed, full of ideas, and resentful. Bits and Pieces It’s worth your while to learn how to conduct a meeting ac- cording to the rules. Because the rules are there to protect the group from unorganized natter- ing. It is a good thing to learn to gather your thoughts together and present them, just once on a subject, instead of doling them out in bits and pieces of confu- sion. Some club executives don’t un- derstand their jobs, and are too shy to ask—they think they're alone in their ignorance. There are good books on the subject, and your union certainly has leaflets on it. Study them.
