Settled in First
Nine Months

PHILADELPHIA, March %. "a
NP)-Of the lat charges receiv-
ed by the Philadelphia Fair En-
ployment Practice commission in
it's first nine months of operation,
SO have been settled and 81 are
now under investigation, it was
revealed last week in a report
sent to Mayor Bernard Samuel
and members of the City Council
commission chairman, Judge Ger
aid F. Flood.
The report, written during "Fair
Employment week" on the ami
versary of the passage of the Fair
Employment Practice ordinance,
covers the activities of the COM
mission from the time of it's ap-
pointment June 1, 1913, to March
1 of this year.
A statistical summary attached
to the report revealed that the SO
cases settled, 70 had been adjust
ed to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned; in eight no evidence of
discrimination had been found ;
in seven insufficient evidence of
discrimination had been found;
four compliments had withdrawn
their charges, and in four other
cases the commission had had no
jurisdiction.
In addition to reporting on the
numbers of charges received,
Judge Glood laid great emphasis
on the educational program of the
commission, which he described
as "the key to continued progress
in promoting employment on
merit"
Among the educational efforts
mentioned were: mailing an illus
trated folder to 10000 heads of
firms, unions, churches, schools,
and civic organizations; filling the
more than $4,000 requests for adj
ditional copies of that folder which
have already been received as a

Bankers
81 the
Future

4 BEAUTIFUL young
IA Guatemalan who once
quit writing a society gossip
column to write about eco
nomics is one of seven foreign
students training here to be
the bankers of tomorrow.
Maria-Cristina Beltranena,
%, daughter of a Guatemala
lawyer. isn't sure she is going
to be a banker. but she does
expect to make use somehow
Of the years training she is
getting at the International
Bank.
Il hope to be able to do
something in my country"
she says, admitting, however.
that there never has been
much demand for woman
economists at home.
She has had an active
career despite her youth.
While attending the Univer-
sity Of Guatemala, where her
father was formerly dean of
the School of Economics, she
rounded out her economies
studies by practical work In
an accounting firm. Mean
while, as a girl who was
familiar with the social
round, she wrote society news
for a newspaper. But one day
she got tired of the fun and
tinsel and wrote an article
on economies. The boss didn't
fire her-he just let her keep
right on writing about eco
nomics, since she appeared to
know her stun.
She left home to 60 to St.
Joseph's College In Connecti-
cut. and got her bachelors
degree in economies. She is
now attending Catholic Uni
versity at night. working to-
ward a masters degree.
Miss Beltranena is the only
woman among the seven stu
dents brought here from all
over the world, after careful
screening of hundreds of ap-
plicants, to train and work
at the international Bank.
All of them are trained in
economics, law or banking,
and most are doing additional
college work while they are
training here.
George Gondicas, from
Athens, worked for the Ma
tional Bank of Greece while
he studied law. After his
country was liberated from
the Germans he became as
sistant to the Greek corre-
spondent for the London
Times. Later he came to this
country and got a masters
degree at Harvard University.

and he married her last June.
This training, according to
Michael L. Lejeune. personnel

ing young people to learn the
workings of the bank and
become the experts of the fu-
ture. The banks purpose is
to promote the international
flow of capital for the full
development of resources
among the Al member ma
tions, particularly in war
torn countries.
Even II the young trainees
do not remain with the World

their own countries. it will
be advantageous to have
them fully acquainted with
what we're trying to do" says

fail in their responsibilities.
School and civic leaders should
help these girls retain useful po-
sitions in the communities when
they are returned home, Miss
Lewis emphasized.
Biggest need at Scioto Village
today is for psychiatrists as there
is no psychiatric service now
available" the social worker ad-
ded.
All girls at the home are given
regular school courses and addi-
tional training in kitchen, laundry
and sewing work. All liberties are
removed for a month for girls who
escape and are returned.
Miss Lewis told Rotarians that
social workers believe in these
facts: "All behavior is modifiable,
Change is the only thing we can
be sure of. Everyone eventually
grows up and has good sense, and
values increase as delinquents ma
ture."
That the girls do not consider
Scioto Village as a prison is well
illustrated by the fact that 2lO
alumnae returned to the home with
their husbands and families last
year, to attend the annual COM
mencement exercise.

HOSPITAL Gets.
$1,000 AS PORT
THEATRE OPENS
Elks Stage Successful Ticket
Sale AS New ShOwplace
Begins Business

Through cooperation of Port
Clinton citizens, the Port Clinton
Elks and the management of this
city's new Port Theatre, the Ma
gruder Hospital will have new
equipment valued at $1,000.
A check for that amount was
presented to Atty. George Slaugh-
ter for the hospital by Richard
Dern, chairman of the Elks' COM
mittee, at the grand premiere of
the new Port Theatre Tuesday
night.
All proceeds from the grand
opening were donated to the local
hospital by Jack O'Connell, theat-
er manager. Ticket sale was
handled by local Elks as part of
their benevolent program, and the
Elks acted as ushers for the "frst
nighter" citizens who each paid
two dollars to aid in the civic ven-
ture.
Many out-of-town visitors, in
Guiding the Port Theatre building
owners, Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Hes
selbart, Of Akron, were here for
the colorful event.
! Congratulatory kilograms from
many film notables, including
Clark Gable, Esther Williams,
Greer Carson, Margaret O'Brien,
Gene Kelly and others, were on
display as were scores of floral
tributes.
Mr.. Dern acted as master of
ceremonies for the evening, and
introduced managing director
O'Connell. After months of repair
work, the Port Theatre is indeed
a beautiful structure and credit
to the community. Interior decor
ating specialties, including drap-
cries, have transformed the in
terror into a showplace.
When constructed years ago as
the Buck Opera House, this build
ing was the scene of vaudeville
shows with part of the building
used as storeroom, grocery, feed
store, laundry and billiard parlors.
In recent years, the Madrid thea
ire was located in the we'll known
building.

LIBERAL PROGRAM USED AT STATE
GIRLS HOME, SPEAKER REPORTS

There are no walls, fences or
prison uniforms at the Ohio girls
industrial school (Scioto Village), },
near Delaware, Miss Annette
Lewis, assistant superintendent of
the school, told members of the
Port Clinton Rotary Club Tues
day noon when she was speaker
at the meeting in st. John Luth-
eran church.
Social reforms have changed the
school from its former strict
prison routine to its liberal pro-
gram today, in which every effort
is made to make the establishment
resemble private school.
Located on beautiful grounds
of the former White Sulphur
Springs Hotel, the home now has
325 girls, the lowest number in
decades. Miss Lewis said the low
population is typical throughout
the nation and is due to better
economical conditions and more
liberal tolerance by parents,
schools and communities.
Illustrating that point, Miss
Lewis stated that in 1901, a girl
was taken to the industrial school
because she smoked a cigarette
in a public place. Instead of
prison uniforms, the girls make
their own dresses in sewing
classes and choose their own col
ors. They are permitted to wear
makeup, jewelry and other ac-
cessories.
Twenty-Five girls are housed in
each cottage at Scioto Village and
when school bells ring, the girls
rush to classes with no fear Of
RECOMMENDATION. The girls range
from II to 18 years, and are ad-
mitted for a minimum stay of II
months.
Today the girls average l412
years, which is at least year
younger than the pre-war average.
Entertainment is provided at the
home. The girls softball team
plays games away from home and
the a capella choir also travels
for engagements, Miss Lewis said.
There are regular schools and
excellent educational facilities at
the home. Eighth grade diplomas
are given under the county system
but high school diplomas are
presented from the high school IN
the girls own home town.
eve often get girls who could
be better cared for elsewhere, but
we must accept all girls brought
to u.s." Miss Lewis reported. Many
feebIe-minded girls retard the
progress as their men
tai ability is limited. All pregnant
girls are accepted and sent to ma
ternity wards as labor approaches.
Many girls in Scioto Village are
not there because they have COM
mitted crimes. Often they are IN
victims of parents who

Eastern States and Western
States To Make Daily
Visits At Put-in-Bay

Officials of the D. & C. Steam
ship Company, Detroit, met with
the Erie Isle Dock Company
committee in Put-in-Bay, last
week, when channel depth to the
old Put-in-Bay pier was dis
cussed to determine if the water
would be deep enough to berth
the large Eastern and Western
States steamers.
Investigation showed that the
boats could be docked safely and
officials decided to make slight re-
pairs to the dock.
AS the schedule now stands,
one of the large steamers will
leave from Cleveland at 9 a. M,
and the other will leave Detroit
at the same hour. Both boats
will make lay-oVers of several
hours at Put-in-Bay and will also
stop at Cedar Point on the daily
excursions.

LOCAL YOUTH C0NFESSES IN ARMED R0bBER'
"Cop" Officiates
At Birth of Baby

If Patrolman Donald Everett
looked a little pale around
midnight Tuesday, he had two
good excuses. The former
Redskin basketball player not
only played midwife at the
birth of an eight-pound baby
girl-but he swallowed his ci-
gar during the excitement!
At 11:40 Tuesday night, Ev-
erett received a rush" call to
the Erie Gardens home of Mrs.
Elmer Andrews. When he
reached there, it was evident
that Mr.. Stork was to pay his
third visit to Mrs. Andrews, and
there was no time to lose.
Taking a frmer bite on his
favorite cigar, Patrolman Ev-
erett carried Mrs. Andrews
from the living room to the
bedroom. Two neighbor women,
who had been with her, hur-
riedly left and Everett was
alone with his patient" and
Mr.. Stork.
Five minutes later, a baby
girl, described by Everett as "a
big one-around eight pounds"
had made her appearance.
Having seen Il few "Dr. Kill
dare" pictures, Don picked up
the infant, gave her a quick
slap, and was rewarded with a
lusty cry.
When the doctors arrived a
few minutes later, they COM
plimented the policeman and
made the mother and daughter
comfortable. Then they helped
Everett attempt to find his
missing cigar. When the doc
tors suggested that Don swal-
low double portion of castor
oil, the patrolman hurriedly
exited.
Incidentally, Everett has two
children of his own-but he did
not officiate at either birth.

Geese Killed Bv
"Missed Shots"

Canadian geese which have
spent the winter months in To-
cal waters are dying of lead
poisoning because hunters
missed their shots" last fall.
1t is ironic that the geese are
being poisoned by eating shot
gun pellets picked up in feed
ing grounds.
Discovery of the lead poison
ing was made by Morgan Will
son, federal game warden sta
toned here, and John Anderson,
game technician, who perform
ed autopsies and found positive
symptoms of lead poisoning.
Over 1000 Canadians have
wintered here this year and thus
far, autopsies have been per-
formed on II geese found dead
along the shores. Membership
in rifle clubs could be helpful,
as the pellets evidently are also
taking a heavy toll of ducks,
