James C. Baker, of Los Angeles,
CAL Religious education has new
standing. We see where we have
failed even in our own schools and
colleges at home and overseas.
Our children and our converts
have been inadequately instructed.
This has been true too often for
our ministers as well as for our
laymen-young and old. All this
has to penetrate into the very
heart of the church's life. We must
see that we have an inside job
of educating our own members
Young and old. Our common lack
of systematic instruction for the
average church member has been
a scandal. It has been fragmen-
tary, desultory, and even hap
hazard. Evangelism must be more
specific in its content, and it must
explore with its converts the COM
mon faith which is at the core
of our Christian heritage"

officer, said yesterday.

DR.. Ruhland said.
Private dermatologists confirmed
DR.. Ruhland's report. DR.. r. J..
Eichenlaub reported he had seen
40 times as many cases this year"
as previously.
DR.. Rutland said parents could
best protect children by refusing to
let BARRIERS cut their hair with an
electric clipper. These clippers can
not be sterilized and are a major
cause of infection, he said. DR..
Rutland said the infection also is
spread when child wears the hat
of an infected child.
DR.. James A. Cannon, physician
member of the Board of Education,
suggested that parents warn their
children against leaning their heads
on the back of theater seats. He
said dermatologists had told him

Legislation to boost wages of Fed

Government worker was less than
It was before the recent pay-increase

Opposition to pay increases has
been expressed by Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, leader of the
economy bloc in Congress. The
Virginian said he was opposed to
any wage increase until there was
a more substantial reduction in
Government personnel.
Sees Ability Plentiful.
Disputing the contention of Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur S.
Flemming that higher wage stand
ards are needed to secure men of
ability for important Government
jobs, Senator Byrd expressed the
view that there never has been any
difficulty in securing highly compe-
tent men as cabinet officers, Fed.

Capitol Hill sources regard as re-
mote the possibility that Congress
will vote itself a 100 per cent in
crease in salary at this session, in
view of the controversy between
private industry and labor over wage
policy. With congressional elections
coming up next year, the legislators
don't want to put themselves on the
spot with the voters by giving them
selves the sharp salary increase, OBJ

listed by the Recreation Board as
its outstanding accomplishment of

Other accomplishments claimed
were:
Inclusion of facilities at the Davis,

alton system.

buildings.
Cooperative arrangements be-
tween the Health Department, pub
lie and parochial schools by which
the recreation personnel will be ad-
vised on cases of communicable dis
ease and disabilities making stren-
uous exercise undesirable.
/ National Interest Aroused,
The board went on to say thai
since the act unifying District rec.
