A—6 COURSE NGAVPS OPENSFEBRUARY T Training for Counselors to Be Conducted by George Washington U. To help provide efficient counselors for various camps conducted by Com- munity Chest agencies, the fifth camp counselor training course for men and women will be opened Feb- ruary 11. It will be sponsored by the Council of Social Agencies and con- ducted by George Washington Uni- versity in co-operation with the Camp Committee of the council. The course will be given 12 Thursday evenings from February 11 through May 6, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Such training was said to be needed this vear because of a shortage of competent counselors and camp offi- cials when the two Community Chest camps were opened last year on the Federal Government's Chopawamsic site at Dumfries, Va. The Boys' Club of Washington, which con- ducted one camp, had an adequate staff for its own purposes, but the Jewish Community Center camp, & | new project, had to employ entirely | new personnel.

Prospects that ‘a third camping project will be added at Chopawamsic this year to take care of those who formerly went to Camp Good Will, under the auspices of the Family| Service Association, enlarges the field | for counselors.

At the section meetings the classes will be divided into sections studying hand crafts under the direction of Jacqieline T. Smith as chairman, na- ture lore with Lillian Smith as chair- | man, programs for camp fires and ape- | cial occasions with Margaret Cross as chairman. One Week End at Camp.

Cost of Federal Excess of $100,000 Monthly Uncle Sam is spending about $1,. 200,000 a year paying salaries of em- ployes whose principal duty is dis- tribution to press and public infor- mation regarding his multitudinous activities. Thirteen of the Government's major agencies are.spending $78,972 a month —which is nearly $110 an hour, 24 hours a day—for the salaries of 312 such employes. Pay rolls of other agen- cies not included in this total will bring the grand total to more than $100,000 & month at a conservative estimate. The Providence Journal assembled this information, similar to that gath- ered by the Brookings Institution for the special Senate Committee on Gov- ernmental Reorganization headed by Senator Byrd of Virginia, through inquiries made at the 10 regular Gov- Press Staffs in ernment departments and the eight | major alphabetical agencies.

Social security is finding what certain other emergency agencies, notably F. H. A. and H. O. L.

In view of the fact that the survey showed total monthly pay rolls of $78,972 for 13 agencies, a conservative estimate of the total pay roll of all press bureaus was made at well over | $100,000 a month, or more than | $1,000,000 & year.

HAMLTONDVIES G0PTOADLBOR Suggests Party Make Close Contacts—Bricker Calls for New Leaders. By (e Associuted Press. | NEW YORK, January 16.—The Re- publican party was called upon today | by National Chairman John D. M. | Hamilton to “re-establish” close con- | tact with labor, while an Ohio party | stalwart, former State Attorney Gen- | eral John W. Bricker, suggested new leadership was needed. Hamilton, Bricker and Mrs. Grace | B. Reynolds, director for Western | | States of the women's division of the | Republican National Committee, | spoke before the sixteenth ann | luncheon of the Women's National Republican Club to an audience of | about 3,000. | | Hamilton said the Republican party | | had come to be regarded as a “closed | | corporation,” and at another point, | obviously referring to the Old Guard, | he remarked: “Liberal is as liberal does. Let | those who proclaim themselves as liberal accept a liberal program.” | | He was not present when Bricker, | calling the Republicans to ‘“con- scientious service to party and country,” said the situation “requires | a new leadership.” “There are few people in this hall today who have access to labor and who understand the needs and aspira- tions of labor,” Hamilton said. “The first thing the Republican party | should do in its effort to rehabilitate is to re-establish that personal rela- tionship.” | “No matter how the vote was read,” he added, “we stand in the position of | & minority party.” The task before that minority, he | | | Reconditioned Kelvinator Refrigerator __ Former list, $137.50 Crosley Shelvador Refrig- erator Former list, $157.50 Former list, $99.50 1935 Frigidaire Standard Former list, $119.50 1935 Crosley 4 Cu.
