est Since 1941, Commission Told

It was more difficult for minors
to obtain summer employment in
1949 than in any year since 1941,
w. Kirk Simmons, child labor in
spectOr, told the Labor Commission
of Delaware this week.
Reporting on the quarter ending
September 30, Mr.. Simmons said a
total of 779 work certificates were
issued to minors throughout the
state, as compared with 1,087 GER
tificates issued during the same
three months in 1948.
The greatest decline in the en-
pl0yment of minors was noted in
Wilmington and New Castle COun-
ty. Both Kent and Sussex COun-

year.
In all instances, the disappear.

Children's Hospital
To Be Nom

mo child will ever be turned away

pledged yesterday.
Bell, who is chairman of the cam
paign to raise $1S3, 900 in cash i'm,

hospital, appealed to Greater Miami
Negroes to give all you can to
help us finish once and for all a
hospital that is so urgently needed
by ALL the children of South F'lori-
da."
The hospital is located just out
side Coral Gables on Devonshire
Boulevard, blocks south of Coral
Way and 8 blocks west of Red Road.
1t was begun in 1941, Bell explain
ed, but has been delayed by wartime
shortages and the failure of many
people to fulfill their pledges.
THE building is now nearly fin
ished," he added. But unless $780,
900 can be raised Immediately, the
hospital may remain unfinished for
many years more"
yet. if the goal is reached, the
hospital can be ready for use before
winter weather sets in. No more re.
quests for funds will be made then,
since Variety Club will make up the
operating deficit"
Bell reported that Variety Club
will see that all sick, injured, or
crippled children will be cared for,
regardless of whether or not their
parents can afford to pay"
But it must be remembered" he
insisted. that Variety Club will not
take over until the hospital has been

SPEECH FOR CHARM

What is more charming than to
listen to a person whose speech is
beautiful and whose English is cor
rect. So you know that speech plays
an important role in your Charm
life.
Reveals Culture and care with your
words so that every sound will be
heard as it should be; and also begin
now to use your verbs, nouns, pro
nouns and other parts of speech as
they should be used. In case you are
one who seems bit shy about that
speech and English forms, then
: find yourself tutor and do "a little
studying. You are newer too old to
improve yourself and if one as inn
portant as the former First Lady,
Mrs. Roosevelt, can put in those
precious hours improving her speech
then surely others can DO IT too.
Perhaps you recall that years ago
Life Magazine carried pictures and
a story about Mrs. Roosevelt study
ing speech so as to know really
how to let each word be heard in
the right way.
Many seem to feel that Speech
and English as courses are the same.
but NO. Speech is training in say
ing words, or rather those words
as they should be said. and the
study of English is knowing the cor
rect form to use at all times.
A little rhyme to remember is:
i like to speak distinctly
And sound every syllable / say.
For then / know I'm talking
In most intelligent way.
Then too, AN exercise to improve
your Speech is to say with an open
mouth II do not open my mouth
wide enough Practice this exer-
else daily in front of a mirror and
be very careful to round out those
words as you say them, and know
too that: Pin is not pen Den liz

.PBA Proposes
Relocation Of
Veteran Center
Asks Commissioners
To Discuss Possible
Plans for Moving

The Public Buildings Admins
tration today asked the Commits
sioners for a discussion of pos
sible plans" for moving the Dis
trict Veterans Service Center out
of the temporary building at 1400
Pennsylvania avenue NV. and
into "District-owned building"
PBA officials said the service
center space-which occupies one
half of the ground floor of the
large two-story building needed
to house a Federal vocational re-
habilitation unit now In the main
Federal Security Agency Building.
The possible move, however, is
closely tied to reshuffling of Dis
.trict Office space proposed In case
Congress enacts a sales tax for the
city.
Move May Be Necessary.
In case the sales tax is passed,
the Commissioners Space Com
mittee proposed recently that a
number of agencies be moved
from the old District Building to
the Municipal Center in order to
make room for about rs en-
ployes who would be needed for
the new tax plan. This in turn
would force other District offices
from the Municipal Center to
space in the new central library
building. in the 400 block of Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
PBA officials said they also have
asked for the space in the library
building for the vocational reha-
bilitation unit, but that the Dis
trict plans might force them to
take over the Veterans Service
Center space for the purpose.
The discussion request came to
Commissioner John Russell Young
today in a short note from John
L. Nagle. PBA deputy commits
sioner for real estate manage
ment.
Location Is Advantage.
The veterans agency moved
into the large, temporary build
ing in December, 1945. taking over
the entire first floor. About a
year ago, however, PBA took half
of that space for a Social Sc
curity Agency field Office.
Waldron E. Leonard, director of
the service center, said that while
space might be available in other
buildings, "it certainly would be
a disadvantage to veterans" be-
cause the present location is so
accessible.
I MIR. Leonard said the number
of veterans coming into the center
now aid in veterans benefit pro-
grams, claims and housing lis
as great as ever" averaging about
$40 a day.. Moreover. he added.
about S. per cent of the veterans
handled at the center are not
residents of. the District.

Election Of McNayr
Causes First Rift in
Montgomery Council
By John v. Homer

The 4-to-3 vote by which Irving
G. McNayr was chosen yesterday
to be Montgomery County man.
ager brought the first serious po-
litical split In the Montgomery
County Council.
In retaining the acting county
manager on a permanent" basis.
the council rejected majority rec
concentrations OF a committee
which 1t intrusted to investigate
candidates. The committee op-
posed Mr.. McNayr by a 2-to-l
vote.
The appointment during an ex-
ecutive session overshadowed 9TH
er events OF a busy council day.
There was. for example. q protest
by Silver Spring residents against
proposed front-foot benefit assess
ments. In addition. the council
received two important bills dur
ing It's second legislative session.
Object TO Paving Cost.
The Silver Spring citizens OBJ
jected to an ordinance which
would require them 10 pay the
$28.Sl750 estimated cost OF street
paving. curbs. cutters and side
walks on Ellsworth drive from
Cedar strete to Dale avenue. They
said they would be willing TO bear
half the costs OF the street sur
facing tor one-fourth OF the cost
on each side of the drive.
The new legislation, all pro-
posed by President Frederic r.
Lee. would create two new county
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and H.
censes and public safety.
OF these. the inspection and
license agency would be the more
important. II would give Mont
gomery County. for the first time
an agency 10 enforce laws and
ordinances dealing with permits
for amusements. building. coal
weights. refuse collection. licens-
ing Of hucksters, licensing OF
plumbers. enforcement of zonine
regulations and fire codes.
Motion Made Quietly.
The motion to elect Mr.. McNayr
was made quietly and passed when
Mr.. Lee cast the final vote. Coun-
.cilmen were almost casual about
their balloting except that Mrs.
Ralph z. Himstead made q state
ment. She said she was not vot-
ing against Mr.. McNayr on q per-
sonal basis but because. In accept
