THE OHIO WOMEN IN PRISON PROJECT HAS FINALLY RECEIVED PERMISSION TO DONATE BOOKS TO PRISON LIBRARIES. Needed are fiction (what they have is very old), magazines (they get only Newsweek, Time and Ebony), records, AM radios, cassettes, filmstrips and other material. Most urgently needed is fiction. At this time it is not known whether non-fiction books of a political or feminist nature will be accepted, but novels written from those viewpoints will probably pass inspection. But even if you only have junk novels, please donate what material you can to these women in cages with nothing to do. Separate books into fiction and non-fiction and (if possible), include a list of authors and titles (otherwise the women of the Project will have to do it).

This is an election year -don't vote for anyone who won't vote for you. Representative Vanik isn't personally against busing, but will vote against busing (if he can) because he believes the voters in his district are against it. The same Representative Vanik knows the majority of the voters favor the right to abortion, but votes against it because of personal conscience. Organize the women you know to vote to help themselves.
