 flict FOR NEW. MEMBERS

The home stretch of the annual membership enrolment week at the YMCA finds the Red army making a desperate effort to catch and pass the Blue cohorts. Last Friday night the Blue army was leading with 436 members and 3,0O5 points,, the Red ramy trailing with 393 members and 2,946 points. This makes a total of renewals and new members to date of 829, leav- ing 371 to be secured before to- morrow night in order to reach the goal of 1900. If, the workers are to duplicate last years record they must secure an additional 24l members.
 Generals Carmody and Temple ton, aided by their majors Mesrs wilcox and Wenzel, Ely and Tyack, respectively, have been urging their respective armies to make wh1rl- wind finish tomorrow night. Gen eral Templeton especially is said to have been working day and night to enable his Red army to administer whipping to his op- >ponent's Blues.
 The leading teams at this stage of the race are: Lions club, Cap tain Glenn D. Sweet, III members, S32 points; Captain George Hollo- way, 82 members, 596 points,; Cap tain Charles R. Leader, 91 mem bers, 597 points; Scovill team, Captain Patrick Wallace, 39 mem- bers, 497 points; older boys team, Captain Jack McCarthy, 69. mem bers, 390 points; Captain John K. Pratt, 2S members, scr points; Captain Alfred F. Meyerhans, 39 members, 357 points.
 Among the four service clubs, the Lions club is well in the lead with the Civitans in second place. Captain Richard Cranes Zi Pheta Pi team is leading Captain Van l.. Snyder's Beau tBrummels by margin of 3S points, although the Beau Brummels have secured Il more members.

Coe has asked that every team worker should be in his place to- morrow night at G:15 in order to have full report and to insure good celebration of another sue cessful membership enrolment week. Team workers of both arIn- ies are looking ahead gleesully to the verbal joust between the rival generals, Charles. A. Templeton and Terence F. Carmody.

 Pays Tribute To
 Local Relief Work
2S6-Page Volume DevOtes Separate Section to
 Waterbury Plan"-Traces History of Make Work Movement to Hamburg System of l7ll

Waterbury's work -delief program with special reference to the We terbury plan. of. financing, is given prominent notice in a new book issued by the Russell Sage foun- dation. This 2S6-page volume is en- titled Emergency Work Keller and is the report of field studies made by Joanna c. Colcord of the foundation staff and two assistants surveying the early work-relief program of a number of especially selected American communities. Waterbury was one of the cities vis- ited, and is given a separate sec- tion in the book.
 The general story traces the work-relief method of assisting the unemployed book to the Hamburg workshop system of I'll, to the made work" system of public lm- provement used extensively in the last century, and to the work test system used by charitable socle- ties a generation ago. The modern methods of work relief originated, it is stated, in the depression Of 1914-1915 in New York city and Minneapolis, where social agencies made arrangements to allow able bodied clients to work on pubic projects for q regular wage, wnlcn the agencies paid.
 Cincinnati set up a Wofk-reiiel program in 1929 and the publicity given to it caused the idea to take root in nearly 200 cities by the summer of 1881.
 In the 26 communities studied by the Russell Sage foundation m yestigators, theer were 2S separate major work relief programs. In New York city one was administer ed by a citizens committee ana a later one by the city and county authorities. .-
 Of the total of '2s programs, IT were financed entirely or almost entirely from public funds, eight solely from private funds, and three with funds from both sources. A total of approximately $25.00O,ooo was expended up to the time or the completion of the study. AS to the economy of work-relief pro grams. the general conclusion or the study is that this phase is apt to be disappointing to those wno regard it purely on a cost-account- ing basis.
 Money distributed as work-relief wages does not go as far as direct home relief. apparently because the grocer, the landlord, and the worker himself regard 1t differ- ently.
 each person was allowed to Work was limited in order to spread the work as far as possible among qualified applicants. In general. le- cal residence was the requirement. for assignment to work relief; cit izenship was required in eight cities. .o,,

ming a work relief program. With reference to the position that work relief should hold in a comjprehen- sive relief plan. the authors state:
 "Noecity, we believe, will be able successfully to substitute wages for direct relief to all the resourceless unemployed. Recourse must be had of the remainder of relief in the well-tried measures of relife in the home, granted on an individual ba- sis. This only makes more imper- ative the need for a careful selec- tion among the applicants for work relief. In this selection, the social agencies can be of great help, if they are included in the planning from the outset, and their prob- able need for relief funds kept in the picture when the size of the work-relief budget is being deter mined''
