MATES, dances and kindred activ-
tiles will be sponsored completely,
it is presumed, and the $500
workers down near the river Will
no longer lack the esprit de corps
fostered by recreational move
ments in other offices during the
past 20 years. Enthusiasts declare:
"This new organization will
fulfill a useful mission in bring
ing the employees of the Depart
ment of the Interior together in
a spirit of fraternal endeavOr
and cooperation"
The movement was somewhat
prodded by PWA. the sister organ
ization of young and bubbllng
emergency workers born in 81.
While Interior was in its trance,
PWA's athletic teams won laurels
with consistency, and Col. H. B.
Hackett, of PWA, rubbed this in
nicely at a recent mass meeting
of Interior folk who gathered to
discuss forming a recreatlonaI
group.
Another reason for the move is
that Interior is now more closely
knit, housed in its old North and
new South buildings, and there IS
q demand for closer relationships
between personnel after office
hours. Formerly Interior SpraWled
in a dozen different buildings, al
though it must be noted that Re-
settlement sprawlS likewise and
yet has supported some very active
recreational doings during its short
life.
