school age. They are under the
sponsorship of adults. Leader of
the boys group, the Hi-Y, is
Wayne wager. Miss Marie Pugs-
ley is the advisor for the girls
group.
Community, school and self
service are the main aims of the
group.
Plans are now being studied
by those interested in YMCA
work for a group which would
encompass all school boys, but
due to the fact, that the YMCA
receives all its funds locally,
these plans are slow.
Funds allotted here are sent
to the area headquarters. There
they are used to employ trained
personnel who work in this area.
NoN.PRoFIT AGENCY
Another agency which is
equally important, but not as
well known, is the Washington
State Children's Home.
This is a non.profit agency
which was founded by the Rev.
H. D. Brown in 1896 to receive
homeless or neglected children
and provide temporary homes
for them while finding them per-
manent homes.
1t serves the entire state Of
Washington, the district office
for this area being located In
the Drumheller building in Wal.
la Walla. Miss Elizabeth Ban.
mister is the supervisor.
Because the home is the prin.
cipal child-placing agency in
the state, its functions are I'M
portant to all citizens and its
standards should be considered
the same.
In a statement for the Com.
munity Chest, Miss Bannister
said, "The result of the homes
work affects parents who release
children for adoption, those
couples who adopt children, and
the children themselves.
The community has a stake in
our organization, too, for every
child placed In a good home is
a promise Of a future, useful ci.
tiZen."

a classification clerk at the Los
Angeles Terminal Annex, the worst
spot for throwing in items by mis-
take is near transportation CEN
ters More frantic people phone
us from train and bus stations
than anywhere else" he says. In
their rush to catch a train, they
hastily throw in whatever is in
their hands and it's usually their
railroad tickets.
Theatergoers who live in towns
near New York City have double
trouble. Mailing letter as they
rush for their train to Manhattan,
they often deposit not only train
tickets but their theater tickets for

Keep Calm - and Collect
MILEs's advice if this happens to
you is to keep calm. resign your
self to making the next train and
phone the Superintendent of Mails.
If your plight is urgent enough,
the Superintendent will send over
a man to open the box for you.
Otherwise, give him a report of
your loss" and the next day it'll
be waiting for you in the classifca-

the wrong envelopes.
Several hours later she realized
her error. Frantic. she rushed
down to the post Office but by then
her incriminating missives were in
the skies approaching Kansas City.
The clerk sent long wires explain
ing the situation to the Kansas
City post Office and, in case the
letters weren't caught there, to the
Detroit Office AS further pre-
caution. he wired the delivery men
on the routes where the two hus-
bands lived. The wife got her
letters back, and the post office
probably saved the divorce sta

In New York, a girl came to the
post Office in tears. That after

a letter to her hance breaking off

however, are for less romantic
reasons. Business firms who've
mailed letters during the day

Association in Wage Fight

Workers Union, Local 457, today
pressed its fight against the Unit
ed Retail Cleaners and Tailors'
Association of Washington by re-
tanning lawyers to start proceed
ings in the Wage and Hour Ad-
ministration and District Court.
Joseph T. Cook, president of the
local affiliated with the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, C1O,
said the law firm of Raugh & Levy
has been retained for an attempt
to collect overtime wage claims
and to seek an injunction and a
5000 900 judgment against the as
sociation.
The union recently raised its
dues So a month to obtain funds
for the legal moves. Association
spokesmen have denied the
unions .claim that a contract
exists or that overtime wages are
due.
The overtime issue will be taken
to the Wage and Hour Admins
tration because the law applies
to Washington wholesale cleaning
concerns doing business outside
the District, Mr.. Cook said.
The petition for the injunction
and the 100000 judgment will be
filed in District Court and charge
that the association violated a
contract by refusing to pay fol

trate the dispute, he said.

Job Analysis Finished
On 800 District Jobs

District personnel officials said
today a detailed job analysis OF

for about 800 of $500 positions.
Most of the jobs already sur

public welfare institutions.
The study covers only the

Purpose of the study is to find
out what each employe is doing

District Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler, chairman of the Dis
trict Personnel Board, said that
during the war manpoWer short
age additional duties had been
handed to available employees in
many departments. These extra
duties, he explained, had formed
the basis for pay increases.
When job hunters became more
plentiful, he said, the department
heads filled their vacancies while
still maintaining the higher pay
for the wartime personnel who
performed the duties when the
vacancies existed. The result. he
added, was larger and higher
