Booklet, This Is Waupun, League of Women Voters of Waupun, 1954Description
The league of Women took a survey and made a booklet so the public would have a quide about the city goverment.
Inside cover explains the need for such a booklet.
Most of us feel bewildered at times with the rapid turn of events and the complexity of governmental problems. We are hard put to it to know the right andswers. Sometimes we are even inclined to throw up our hands and say, "It's beyond me! We might as well let Congress and the President figure it all out. I can't make up my mind."
But our democratic form of government cannot function properly unless we, as its citizens, can make up our minds -- unless we can and do inform ourselves, about our government, how it functions, what responsibilitues to it we have as individuals, what we can expect oft it. A representaqtive government depends on active, alert citizens.
The place to begin is our own home town. By understanding and participationg in our local government, we are well on the way to conprehending the more complex problems of state and nation.
To help us in our understanding of Waupun and its government, the League of Women Voters has perpared this pamphlet. We wish to ackowledge our indebtedness to the many city officials who have supplied us with facts and figures. It is our hope and theirs that this survey will be helpful to ua all.
