For Baltimore Canneries
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 13. - The
Maryland War ManpoWer Commits
sion appealed today for civilian
workers for ood-processing plants
this week when Baltimore canneries
were expected to operate at peak
production rates.
The VINO reported that the Army
and the Coast Guard played lead
ing role in food processing this
summer
The soldiers and sailors probably
will also help process the large ship
ments of food expected from the
northern central counties of Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware. However. the VINO said
the servicemen would not be avail
able in sufficient force to meet the
anticipated demand for workers this
week.
United States Employment Service

worked in II Baltimore canneries
from June 10 through Saturday. The
men came from Fort George G.
Meade, Aberdeen Proving Grounds
and Indiantown Gap.

In spite of problems expected to
make its operation difficult, the
George Washington Carver Homes,
Federal Public Housing Authority
project on Queen street in Arlington
has turned out to be one of the
country's outstanding developments,
FPHA officials say.
Oliver c. Winston, FPHA regional
director, gives credit for the success
of the development which opened
August is. to its manager, Maurice
Coates, Howard University gradu-'
ate.
The thorniest problem Mr.. Coates
had to face was the fact that the
frame houses that make UP the prof.
ect are scattered among permanent
homes belonging to established
colored residents who did not take
kindly to housing project in their
midst.
"Good Neighbor" Policy.
In an effort to establish a good
neighbor" policy, Mr.. Coates invited
the old residents to join the prof.
ect's citizens association, attend
young peoples community socials,
join the circulating library, and
make use of the carpentry shop.
Adjusting the tenants to life in
housing development has been an
other of Mr.. Coates problems, since
80 of the 100 families had been liv-
ing in trailer camps for almost a
year after their homes were con-
demned to make way for Pentagon
and Navy Annex Buildings access
roads.
A native Of Washington, Mr..
Coates did social work in the Dis
trict after graduating from Howard
in 1881, and was employed at the
university for seven years before
joining FPHA.
His position as manager gives him
complete responsibility for selecting
tenants, managing the project and
collecting rents. In addition, he
serves as recreation director, family
adviser, health supervisor and COM
munity haison man.
In his Office in the Administration
Building, Mr.. Coates explained that
the families to whom FPHA opened
George Washington Carver Homes
are exempt from the usual classi-
fication of immigrant essential war
workers, because the Government
felt responsibility toward them
when their homes, many of which
had been in the same family since
the Civil War, were condemned
OF the 900 families made home
less, about half made their own
arrangements, and the rest were
placed in the Green Valley and
Queen street trailer camp. which
Mr.. Coates managed until the prof.
est was built.
Mr. Coates said that 20 of the 100
families in the project are in
migrant war workers drawn from
outside the trailer camps, and Sc
lected for the contribution they
could make to community.
There is a community building
with large recreation room in the
development where Mr.. Coates plans

nightly programs for young people.
He and his two Office assistants each
give two evenings a week to direct
ing the work.
During the day the room is used
for first aid, home nursing, nutrition
and canning classes. A well-equipped
kitchen adjoins the room and will
be used for classes and parties.
A small room is planned by Mr..
Coates as circulating library, while
another room is equippedsas a shop.
Mr.. Coates expects to start work
on set OF furniture for his two
small children and hopes that other
residents will join him and form a
cooperative workshop class.
Health Clinic.
A completely equipped health
clinic occupies three other rooms in
the building and is run by the
County Health Department for
members of the community as well
as project residents. Prenatal and
baby care are stressed In the clinic,
Able to name each family, ac-
count for its members and locate
its house without referring to his
records, the manager is the guiding
spirit III the community and is called
on to help with domestic problems,
give advice on employment, plan
family budgets and urge residents
to submit to regular health exami-
nations
On a tour of the development and
adjacent trailer camp, his popularity
was evident as women showed him
their Victory garden plans and
children greeted him by name as
he passed.
Common sense rather than strict
adherence to rule is necessary In
dealing with people thrown into a
community project for the first time
Mr.. Coates believes.
While attempting to abide by a
reasonable standard in determining
space allotments, Mr.. Coates believes
that in some instances it is wise to
crowd a family In order to prevent
them from taking boarders and to
enable them to meet the rent more
easily.
Well Constructed.
Although George Washington Car
yer Homes are temporary develop
ment, the construction of the houses
rates high, according to wartime
standards.
Forty of the houses have been
furnished by FPHA, and the three
bedroom units are planned to ac-
commodate large families comfort
ably.
Ample storage space is provided,
gas stoves, iceboxes and heaters are
installed and the light colored COM
position walls and dark woodwork
present cheerful atmosphere, but
requires little effort to keep clean.
Back doors lead to garden and lawn
space which tenants may develop.
In fact, FPHA will provide grass
seed for those desiring lawns and
even helps residents keep up the
interior by supplying a commercial
paint cleaner.
Mr.. Coates plans to bring his own
family to the development as soon
as his new son can be moved.
