Fl. B. Z.mman, city commissioner,
attended a community center last
Friday night for the first time. He
went to- the Lincoln school, Eleventh

program presented by talent of the
neighborhood. Mr.. Zimman was so
surprised by the fine spirit manifest
ed at this community gathering, that
ae said he would endeavor to start
community center in his own
neighborhood.
The community center movement
is being developed into an important
factor of the city's life. 1t is direct
ed by the board of public recreation
in connection with the city park de-
partment The meetings are held

and Monmouth Park public schools,
and in the auditorium of the Ne
braska School for the Deaf. Each
of these seven centers is directed by
council of nine which elects its
own officers. The councils are
elected by their respective neigh

At the assembly meetings men,
bers of the councils wear large but
tons which read: Were glad to see
you. Community center council"

at the assemblies is almost unlimit-
ed. Opportunities are offered for
the development of local talent and
in some instances vocalists, instru-
nentalists, speakers and others have
made the circuit of the centers.

staff Correspondent of Tho Bee.

Chicago, Feb. 2l.-(Specia1. 1.-The
following report was adopted by the
League of Women Voters last
week:
The women in industry depart
mcnt of the National League of
Women Voters calls attention to
the fact that the admission of
women to full citizenship comes at
time when the problems of indus
trial relationship and the standards
zation OF working conditions can no
longer be ignored in any country in
the world. Because of this fact, the
department. has given special
thought to the drafting of its report.
1t proposes nothing new or radical.
The principles and the legislation
which it recommends have been
tested by experience both in the
United States and Europe. The
presence of technically qualified
women on industrial boards and
commissions and in administrative
Offices has everywhere been found
necessary for intelligent and SYM
pathetic consideration of the prob
lens of working women and the
effective enforcement of legislation
designed for their protection. The
women in industry department,
therefore. makes the following re-
port:
Endorse Trade Unions.
81. We reaffirm our belief in the
right of the workers to bargain col
lectively> through trade unions and
regard the organization of working
women as especially important be-
cause of the peculiar handicaps from
which they suffer in the labor
ssAzket
z. We call attention to the fact
that 1t is still necessary for us to
urge that wages should be paid on
the>basis of occupation and not on
sex.
IS. We recommend to congress
and the federal government:
"(a) The establishment in the
United States Department of Labor,
Of a permanent women's bureau,
with a woman as chief and an ap-
preparation adequate for the investi-
cation of all matters pertaining to
wage earning women and the de-
termination of standards and poll
cies which will promote their well
fare, improve their working condi-
tions, and increase their efficiency.

George Warren, Of Hampton, has
been growing in popular favor since
his entry into the race for United
States SENATOR -
Easily Progress editoriaqy says:
"One of the candidates George War
rem is calling attention to one of the
most vital issues that confronts the
American people today. 1t is the is
sue OF ~tates Rights against a CEN
tralized federal government - = - - -
We say the Capitalization of govern
ment has gone far enough. Let us
put stop to it by peaceful use of our
ballots"
AiIendale Citizen editorially says:
"A truer Democrat never lived than
George Warren, truer Southerner
never breathed the air of South Caro-
lima than he. The shades of Calhoun
and Hayne and those other South
Carolinians who thrilled the world in
the fight for individual and State
Rights are rejoicing that this State
has brought forth a man of the cali
Der of Warren. His platform is fix-
ed unfinchingly on the principles
that our Confederate fathers fought
for, and true, unmodified democracy
is the keyWord of his campaign. .
George Warren is we'll known in
this section. lle is a native of Hamp-
ton county and has countless friends
in Allendale and adjoining counties.
He has shown by his conduct in the
past that he would not aspire to a.
position that he felt himself in any
way united to fill. His friends know
that Warren will make as good Sena-
tor as this state has ever pro-
duced."
Excerpt from an editorial in the
Columbia Record.-"Among those
who are candidates for the Senate in
the Primary Campaign, The Record
believes that in the person of George
Warren, of Hampton County, the
State of South Carolina, will have
as a representative in the United
States Senate man who has the
courage of his convictions, who will
resist the dangerous tendency of GEN.
Trailing encroachments, who will,
even in the face of lobbies and out
side influences of every sort, hold ONE
again aloft the standard of States
Rights which the weaklings and par
tizans of congress have permitted to
be trailed in the dust. y Young,
aggressive, independent, of clean and
honorable record, capable and am
bilious of diligent effort to attain the
larger growth which the responsible
and honorable office of Senator would
open to him, we commend him to the
careful scrutiny of the voters of South
Carolina"
