Miss Fry said that. social work |
is widely extended since everyone
has come to realize that, with less
to share, it must be shared ae
evenly. The under-privileged are
often served before newly manv- |

There are relief centers for the |
poor and homeless after bombings,

eventual reestablishment of their
small businesses.
The “artistic relief” is an ex-

concerned with sending orchestras,

W omen in the Factory
Last week Miss King at-
tended a panel discussion on
Women in the Factory at a
conference of the American
Management Association in
New York. Some of the
points discussed were the tre-
mendous need for skilled and
the diffi-
culty of reaching wives and
mothers and convincing them
that they, are urgently want-
ed, the necessity of providing
good day nurseries and not
mere dumping grounds for
the children of mothers who
could be working. They also
talked about the question of
the best use of women, what
jobs they can do well and
which ones should be left to
men, what abilities women
have that should be consid-
ered in assigning jobs, ways
of discovering these abilities,
the real usefulness of the
physically handicapped, train-
ing of uffskilled women, and
hours~ of -work-and-—rates—of
pay as compared with those
of men.

the work of these Social Service

evenly distributed.”

Delegates Requested |
Bryn Mawr Colinne is one of 60
colleges and. universities in the
East invited to send delegates to
the Middle Atlantic Section, Model
Assembly of the League of Na-
tions, when it meets March 18-20,
at Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y.
Last to survive of three similar
sections which once drew delegates
from colleges throughout the coun-
try, the Middle Atlantic Section
meets this year for the first time
not as a League of Nations but sy]
a conference of the United Na-
tions.
In charge is Dr. Michael A. Heil-|
perin, associate professor of eco-
nomics on the Hamilton faculty.
Each college or university par-
ticipating will be asked to repre-
sent one of the United Nations and
to assign a student delegate to each
of five commissions. The commis-
sions will concern themselves with
wartime collaboration ofthe
United Nations in non-military
fields, structure and power of a
new world order, international pro-
tection of human rights, economic
integration of the worid, and main- |
tenance of world order after the

Community Center
The Athletic Association
has suggested: that any stu-
dents interested in coaching
experience in basketball,
baseball or any other sport,
may gain valuable training
at the Haverford Community
Center. Groups of boys or
of girls need direction in
various sports at the Com-
munity Center, as many lead-
ers have been unable to con-
tinue» this year. The time
asked from each _ student
would be one hour a week
any afternoon or evening.
Both the Department of
Physical Education and the
Athletic Association strongly
urge any students interested
in physical education, pos-
sibly for the war health pro-
gram, to use this opportunity
to gain experience. They
wish to emphasize that di-
rection ‘of such groups as
those at the Center is the
groundwork for future coach-
ing jobs. Lists will be posted
in the halls for students in-
terested in doing this type of
recreational work.

AR hits telephone service two ways
at once. It piles on a heavy load of
calls. And it cuts down the supply of tele-
phone materials and equipment.
Most Long Distance lines are overloaded
on weekdays from 9 A. M. to 12, from 2
P. M. to 5 and from 7 to 9 at night. You can
usually avoid telephone “traffic jams” if you
make your calls during other hours. Best
time to call home is on Sunday, when lines
are less busy and the reduced night rates
are in effect all day.
Please keep all calls brief and avoid
unnecessary calls. This is especially impor-
tant around Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New .Year’s. -
