Although I spoke originally with Mrs. John Lodge, the

Although the luncheon is Saturday, Mrs. Ford would like
to go to New York on Friday for some private appointments
and remain overnight. Her departure will be determined
by the times of the appointments which she does not yet know.
May I also suggest that you may wish to make a preliminary
contact with the Parsons Award people at the time of your
advance of the 20th event regarding Mrs. Ford's March 29th
New York event. As of this writing I do not have those
details but will have them by the time you return from

with Mrs. John Lodge that Mrs. Ford is happy
to accept your kind invitation to attend the
55th Annual Luncheon of the Women's National
Republican Club in New York on March 20th

would want me to convey her gratitude and her

Dear Mrs. Ford,
As we discussed this morning, this is
the invitation you were unable to accept
last year and we held it for consideration
this year because you hoped to do it.
They would like to honor you with their
"Woman of the Year Award". Being the
national group, I hope you will be able
to do this.
If you are planning to accept, I think
it would be worthwhile to convey that to
them at this time rather than waiting closer
to the date.

in 1964, Diane Walsh, is a full-fledged
touring recitalist, recently reviewed
with high praise in the New York
press. Claudia Hoca, winner a few
seasons ago, is on her way to a
recital career.
This year the Chopin Competition
committee under chairman Sue War-
dynski and executive secretary
George Kelver has received nearly
50 audition tapes from young entrants
from many states and Canada.
The society has awarded $10,000
in prizes in the decade, and the
winners are given the opportunity to
appear with the Buffalo Philharmon-
ic.
In the 1960s, having sold out
Kleinhans Music Hall in three annual
programs, the society was chosen by
WBEN-TV to appear in about 30
televised programs, a series that
lasted until 1968.
In 1925 the society gave the city
the sculpture of Chopin, the work of
artist Joseph Mazur. After a half-
century in Humboldt Park, the
statue recently was placed In Sym-
phony Circle, the Kleinhans Music
Hall setting and home of the

A SOURCE OF great pride to the
society members is that they've done
it all themselves. no grants or subsi-
dies. And with their own funds they
maintain their clubrooms at 18 Kosc-
ziusko their home from 1947.
The society president for many
years has been attorney Theodore V.
Mikoll. His wife, Supreme Court
Judge Ann Mikoll, is in there in the
singing ranks along with her brother-.
in-law and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.
James Mikoll. Judge Mikoll takes a
deep interest in the chorus.
Theodore Mikoll's maternal
grandfather, Albert Widzinski, was
president in the 1920s and his uncle,
John Mikolajczak, headed the soci-

What is needed is a return of honesty and open putting-heads-tog

We must open our hearts and confront the problems that beset us and put our

THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB

REPUBLICAN WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD
to
MRS. GERALD R. FORD
Elizabeth, "Betty" Ford, is the dynamic wife of the President of the
United States. Outstanding among her fine qualities are her graciousness,
her sense of public responsibility, her dedication to the Republican Party,
and her courage, candor, and integrity.
As the Hostess of the White House, she has presided at official
functions with grace, dignity, and charm. As a practitioner and patron
of the arts, she has encouraged elevating the Bicentennial Celebration to
the high plane of American Culture. As an advocate of excellence as the
standard of selection, she has encouraged the President to appoint Republican
women to high office. As a campaign worker, she has articulated the
principles of the Republican Party. As a woman of courage and faith,
she has triumphed over many incidents of adversity.
For her effectiveness in meeting the challenges of public life, for
her outstanding qualities as a public and private citizen, and for the
spirit of dedication that she has shown to the Republican Party throughout
the years, the Board of Governors of the Women's National Republican Club
is proud to present to Mrs. Gerald R. Ford its Republican Woman of the
Year Award.

OUTSTANDING YOUNG AMERICAN AWARD
to
DOROTHY STUART HAMILL
In winning for the United States the Gold Medal for Figure
Skating in the 1976 Winter Olympic Games and the Women's World
Figure Skating Championship as well, nineteen-year-old Dorothy
Hamill displayed extraordinary artistry, virtuosity, charm,
sportsmanship, and self-mastery.
Inspired by the art of choreography, she transformed her
skating program into the beauty of ballet.
Motivated by the desire to excel, she captivated her audience
by the perfection of her performance.
Animated by the spirit of self-reliance that characterizes
American amateur sports, she competed successfully against a number
of athletes, subsidized by the countries they represented.
Disciplined by the strength of her character, she developed
her ability as a student, her talent as a skater, and her personality as
an individual to become a well-rounded young woman of integrity.
For achievement of the highest order against spirited
competition and for her extraordinary qualities as a person and as a
performer, the Board of Governors of the Women's National Republican
Club is proud to present to Dorothy Stuart Hamill its first "Outstanding
Young American" Award.

Distinguished Political Service Award
to
THE HONORABLE BARRY GOLDWATER
Barry Goldwater! What a multitude of historic events, what
outstanding qualities of heart and mind this name conjures forth for the
American people.
I
Still in the fullness of his powers, Senator Goldwater has in
his life time become a veritable lengend-Air Force General, rancher,
businessman, statesman and national leader he has repeatedly plunged
headlong into the breach. Careless of his personal fortunes he has
often shown a deep awareness of the true nature of the challenge.
Frequently, amid the slings and arrows, he has been the conscience
of America. A man of controversy ! A man of destiny ! He symbolizes
the qualities of courage and lofty principle which we must recapture
if we are to fulfill our national promise. Barry Goldwater holds our
feet to the fire of the responsibilities which are inseparable from
freedom.
Because of his integrity, his courage, his dedicated service
to the Republican Party, the Women's National Republican Club is
proudto present its Distinguished Political Service Award to an
outstanding Republican, a true patriot, a great American, The
Honorable Barry Goldwater.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
Mrs. Ford has refused to meet with ANY of the LEADERS (other
than those who are part of International Women's Year and Women's
Lib groups!) These women only represent a small number of voters
of this state and nation. I personally have written to Mrs. Ford
on three occassions, and to date have not had even the courtesy of
an answer! I have constantly requested a meeting with her, and her
silence has been my answer, and the answer to the many, many leaders
who have attempted to speak with her.
A few questions need answering:
1.
Why has Mrs. Ford refused to speak with any of us?
2.
Why does she only speak to the Libbers who do not
represent the thinking of the majority of the women
in this nation?
3. Why has she pushed the ERA, when Sen. Sam Ervia, Cong.

Winner Betty Has a Shrug for Ronnie
(By Robert Carroll, excerpted, N.Y. Daily News)
Betty Ford, happy about the "excellent vibrations" she's
picking up along the campaign trail charmed a luncheon crowd at
the Waldorf-Astoria Saturday, graciously accepted a woman-of-the-
year award and neatly sidestepped reporters' questions about the
future of Ronald Reagan, who wants her husband's job.
"I think the choice is his," said Mrs. Ford at a preluncheon
news conference when asked whether Reagan should quit his quest of
the Republican presidential nomination, as several Republican
governors suggested Frida. "I think it's a very healthy situa-
tion," said Mrs. Ford of the Reagan challenge. "Competition is one
of the best things as far as politics is concerned."
As for her own campaigning, Mrs. Ford said: "It's pretty
exciting, I admit. It's something I never experienced." Radiant,
but obviously a trifle nervous at the crush of reporters, photo-
graphers and television camermen, she said she had found her cam-
paign audiences "warm and friendly and I get excellent vibrations.
They are very impressed by the improvement in the situation from
what it was a year ago."
Earlier yesterday the President's wife added a personal
touch to her campaigning by calling Mayor Beame at Gracie Mansion
and wishing him a happy 70th birthday. She also told him New York
"is one of my favorite cities." " -- (3/21/76)
Tower Discounts Chances of Ford-Reagan Ticket
"Ronald Reagan will forfeit a chance of becoming the
Republican party's vice-presidential nominee this year if he
continues to oppose President Ford for the top spot on the ticket,"
Sen. John Tower (R-Tex.) said Saturday. Tower, who heads Ford's
Texas campaign, also said a loss in next Tuesday's N.C. primary
would represent a knockout blow for Reagan. AP -- (3/21/76)

Betty Ford was named by
the Women's National Repub-

publican Woman of the Year.
The citation accompanying
the club's annual award, given
at a Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
luncheon attended by near
1,000 guests, praised her "for
her effectiveness in meeting
the challenges of public life, for
her outstanding qualities as a
public and private citizen and
for the spirit of dedication that
she has shodnw to the Repub-
lican Party throughout the
years."
In a brief speech of accept-
ance, the President's wife
echoed a plea made earlier by
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, the principal speaker,
for unity in the party. She was
warmly applauded by her fel-
low Republicans.
Mrs. Ford also told newsmen
that in campaigning with the
President she had received
"good vibrations," that people
were warm and friendly and
"seemed impressed with the
improvement in the country's
situation since a year ago."

they had a right to their own

What is needed and wanted in this bi-centennial year is\na return and re-establishemnt of those princùples unpon which our country\nwas founded.\nWhat is needed is a return of honesty and open putting-heads-tog\ncommunication -- whether on a family basis or on a group basis, or on a\ngovernmental basis so that once again we can have a complete American Famil\nLife and a restoration of confidence in each other. We must reverse the\ndeteriorating American family life and the breaking down of communication.\nWe must open our hearts and confront the problems that beset us and put our\nminds to the thought to achieve understandings and agreements as the basis\non which to strengthen and grow together.\nWhat is needed in gåvernment today is a government based on human\nunderstandings of the problems, with a high sense of truth and hesty if our\ncountry is to survive another 100 years. Our government offficials ha e th:\nresponsibility to discover how they can constantly improve the level of\nintegrity to a point where full trust in the administrative process has been\nrestored. What is not needed is supermen- or super women (joke) out to\nrun the world at the cost of individual liberty. This can be done by *****g\nbeing more honest and straight with other men and women.\nWhen we can restore and rekindle the abilit\nto communicate openly and honestly we know that we will have restored that V\nour forefathers instituted that is unique in the history of mangind.\nSEAL\nLIBRARY\nase from\nWOMEN'S NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB, INC.\n3 West 51st Street, New York, N.
