Diversity Of immigrants.

The immigrants passing through
EMS island last year represented 90
different nations, according to a re-
cent statement on the social work of
the island. Some of the difficulties Of
the 10 social workers who meet these
people can be imagined, even though
each worker speaks several languages
herself. The social work Of the island
is directed by Col. Helen Bastedo
Of the Department of Labor In Wash
ington, and one of her assistants is a
member of the staff of the foreign
born division of the national board.
