Longer Waiting Periods
For Unemployed Under
Recent Changes In Law

Changes made in the unemploy-
ment law by the recent session of
the Legislature include increased
penalties for workers who ignore
regulations and restrictions for
qualifications for benefits, warns
Director S. C. Cromwell, in charge
of the State Employment Boards
compensation division.
The board has authority to
withhold payment or benefits to
claimants who quit jobs without
justification; to those who refuse
to accept proffered employment,
and to those who have been dis
charged for bad conduct.
In the first two groups the
maximum delay imposed on bene-
fit payments has been five weeks.
This maximum was increased by
the Legislature to nine weeks.
For those who have lost employ
ment through unsatisfactory con-
duct the disqualification remains
at nine weeks.

Ybunk-houses, a laundry, a shop and
the infirmary, which this week was
occupied by two sick DIRECTORS. A
staff of nurses and dietitians fur
nished by the Friends Committee
was ministering to the needs of the
young men.
Six DIRECTORS have begun a
course of study and work at the
State forestry nursery at College
Park, returning to the camp each
night. The remainder will begin
serious work in the Patapsco Park
about June l, after necessary re-
pairs have been completed at the
camp. This program will consist
of planting trees, maintaining and
repairing roads and parkways, sur
veying, tree surgery and fighting
forest fires, when necessary. The
State Foretsry Department will
pay for the materials used in these
projects and supervise the work.
Not only is there no sign OF
weapons or uniforms at the camp
but as yet there also is little SEM
blance of rigid discipline in the
manner the camp occupants &c
about their labors. Undoubtedly
each man has been detailed to spe-
cific tasks, but no one is in any
great hurry and an atmosphere
somewhat akin to that of summer
camp for boys dominates in the
easy-going and cheerful attitude
of the men.
There also seems little chance
that any of the peaceful trainees
will change their views on the sub
ject of military service since the
bulletin board in the mess hall
bears conscientious program of
''pacifist study courses" sponsored
by the Pacifist Action Group OF
Baltimore. This notice shares
space on the board with what the
DIRECTORS have tagged as "far
mail". The latter consists of
cards and letters from persons op-
posed to the doctrines of pacifi-
cism. Writers of these messages
took the opportunity to call the
DIRECTORS "Hitler's Little Helpers"
and other choice names. The
campers, however, evidently are
proud of their "fan mail" since
they have posted it in the most
conspicuous spot on the grounds.

Avalon Camp Occupied By
Conscientious Directors
Contingent Of 26 Men, Including Only Two
Marylanders, Busy Readying Camp For Next
Contingent; Total Of 125 Expected

Twenty-six young men, CLASSIC
fled by their local draft boards as
conscientious DIRECTORS to military
service on the basis of religious
belief" are preparing the former
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
at Avalon for scores of other
"conshies" who are to join them in
the near future.
According to DR.. Ernest A.
Wildman of the American Friends
Service Committee, director of the
camp in the Patapsco State Park,
total Of 1875 conscientious objec-
tors eventually will be stationed
there to serve a year of non-mili-
tary training. Young men called
for Selective Service training and
classified as bona fide DIRECTORS by
their draft boards are required to
give year of work to the country
in place of military service.
The first group of DIRECTORS ar
rived on May Is at the Avalon
camp, one of several being estab-
lished by the Friends Service Com
mittee. Most of the men are resi-
dents of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. Only two Marylanders are
in the contingent. All are mem
bers of religious sects whose doc
trines forbid military service of
any sort. According to DR.. Wild.
man, a large number are college
graduates.
Two other camps for DIRECTORS,
enc in Indiana and the other in
Virginia, opened last week. These
and the Avalon quarters are ex-
pected to receive DIRECTORS from
the Eastern States until new sites
are found. Other camps are being
established throughout the coun-
try.
Scheduled to undertake an ex-
tensive program of work in the
Patapsco Park, under the direction
OF the State Department of For
estry, the group at Avalon pres
emily is occupied chiefly with re-
Mobilization work at the camp.
They are busy tarring roofs, re-
placing door stills, painting and do
ing other repair work on the build
ings and grounds abandoned by the
c. c. G. about two years ago.
Center of much of their activity
are the dormitories now being
readied for group of 25 men ex-
pected to enter the camp within
few weeks. Chief hold-up in the
program to bring the full quota of
directors to the site is the lack of
necessary sewerage facilities, ac-
cording to DR.. Wildman, who said
that the State Health Department
will not approve the assignment of
more men to the camp until pres
ent sanitary conditions have been
improved. There are toilet facili-
ties in only one of the bunk-houses,
the director said.
Buildings equipped and in use
include the large mess hall at one
end of the reservation, several

Dirty Deal

SO, the transit commission Is
considering five-cent fares for de-
Tense workers. They say that de-
Tense workers would be persuaded
to leave their cars home and take
the buses. Why should defense
workers alone be sought after in
this unjust monnerY Isn't every
one entitled 10 the same fare when
riding to and from his jon? The
defense workers are getting good
pay from their jobs, and can afford
that 3 1/3 cents difference. But
what about those other workers
who are getting a bare subsisting
wage? What about the unenploy-
ed? What about the Negro work
ers who can't get work at defense
industries. Such an action is dis
criminatory one. Tn money
that would be paid in gasoline tax
es if the workers used their au-
tomobiles would 20 toward better
streets and roads. Anyway the pro-
posed fare is viewed, it still has
that offensive odor, the odor Of
class discrimination. There is no
good in it.

National Destiny
lContinued From Page onel

The Federal Constitution is the
vital element in American demo-
cracy. 1t proclaims guarantees
which have been the inspiration
of countless thousands and thou
sands of men and women, who see
in it the hope of democratic free
dom and unsullied idealism.
Personal freedom for all the
people can be achieved in America.
National unity for which the emer-
gencies of the hour call, can be
won If America is willing to pay
the price of liberty and freedom
and justice. 1t owes this boon
to each and every one of its citi-
zens.
The cardinal requirements of de-
mocracy, in all their implications,
must, however be met and fully
satisfied, civil liberties must be
preserved, and our noble expert
ment, the American way of life,
must be perfected by continued
nurture and growth. Thus, national
unity can always be counted upon
in America.

The One Thing Needful

'What wisdom can YOU find that
is greater than kindness - wrote
the philosopher Rousseau. II is a
comment on life that has taken
on an added force with these pre-
sent days In a world that has
grown increasingly harsh and cruel
there is one thing that each of
us can do to ease the strain. That
is to take to heart J, Nj. Barrie's
suggestion, shall we make a new
rule of life from tonight: always
to try to be a little kinder than
is necessary"
Kindness is one of the graces of
life that increases as it is prac-
ticed. It can smooth the hard road
and lift the hearts of others. But
none gains moro from it than the
one who bestows it. Perhaps that
is why the greatest of all have
so personified this quality. The
memories of Abraham Lincoln are
those of kindness as large and
plain as a prairie wind" The kind:
ness of God, even to the ''un-
thankful and the evil" and the
need of kindness to one another,
was one of the supreme themes
of Jesus.
For Mercy. Courage, Kindness,
Mirth,
There is no measure upon earth.
Of these four gifts, enumerated
in the song by Laurence Binyon,
kindness is one of the most need
full now. No individual alone has
power to halt the savagery that
is loose in the world. But each
can help to tighten the conditions
about himself by applying the SIM
counsel of st. Paul in Ephesians
iv, 80:
And be We kind one to another.

1t was indeed very unusual pro-

The colored people were pleading
for a chance to work; that was
their plea and nothing else.
1t would seem unbelievable that
at this time the colored man
shouldn't get an opportunity to
work in the various factories and
shops where so many defense wea-
pons are being manufactured. At
the very same time, the govern

Our democratic government should
do something about it.

race. Oh, when will the teachings
of the real Christ prevail in these
United States of America?
