Workers Must Buy
Own 500-HourP Pins
No Provision Made for
Funds to Purchase
Volunteers EmbIems

Volunteers who want to wear the
special emblem indicating that
they have given 500 hours to COM
munity service will have to pur-
chase their pins, it was explained
today.
The first 500 volunteers with the
requisite number of hours were
given pins at a ceremony earlier
this month in the Departmental
Auditorium. but those emblems had
been supplied by two anonymous
donors.
The silver backed enamel pins,
which cost so cents each, must be
purchased by the volunteers be-
cause there is no provision in the
District Citizens Service Corps
budget to pay for them.
Those who reach the 1000 hour
mark, however, can exchange their
500-hour pins for the 1,000-hour
emblem without additional cost.
The only difference between the
two pins is in the marking on the
tiny white scroll which hangs from
the pin. The scroll shows the num-
Der of hours the volunteer has con-
tributed.
The 1,000-hour pins are now 60
ing into production. but there is a
supply of the 500-hour pins which
volunteers whose hours have been
certified may purchase at the
Civilian Mobilization once in the
Municipal Center.
The first 500 volunteers were
chosen by the agencies to which
they had contributed their services.
Pins not sent to the agencies for
distribution to their first eligibles
were mailed from the Civilian
Mobilization Once to volunteers
not afiiliated with any agency.
